Best 2v2 Foreign Zergs
Who do you think is the best 2v2 foreign Zerg(s)? Can anyone describe the style of play of any of the players? In 2v2, at the top level of play, all teams have at least 1 Zerg.
Why are 2v2 Foreign Zergs entertaining?
I like watching 2v2 Zergs and 2v2 dual Zerg teams because in their best games they do things that would be impossible for a Zerg player in 1v1. Some games, when there is only 1 Zerg on each team, Zergs may have as little as 5 Drones mining minerals in anticipation of Mutas versus Mutas. A Zerg like Belladona in a ZT vs ZZ or ZP vs ZZ game uses offensive Nydus Canals, Dark Swarm, and Zerglings off 1 gas to reduce the amount of expansions the dual Zerg team takes. Similarly, players like Babo use defensive Nydus Canals in a ZZ vs ZT game to save their ally from an M&M ball. In 2v2, the old Tsunami build actually works when there are only 3 players remaining. If it is 2 Zergs vs 1 Zerg, 1 Zerg may do the Tsunami Build (Hydras/Ensnare off 1 gas) vs Mutalisks. Simarly, the other Zerg might go 1gas Devourers/Guardians. In a 2v2 game, Ensnare might be used to help chase down an enemy's Mutalisk stack, Plagued Science Vessels, in addition to negating a Terran's stimpack. In a 2v2 game where there is a dual Zerg team and a Terran, plague is used as frequently as it is used in a ZvT 1v1 game. In a dual Zerg team, players might go Hydra/Defiler's with Plague, off 1 or 2 gases, vs M&M or Goliaths or Mutalisks. It is cool to see Hydra/Plague builds work in 2v2 where they would utterly fail in a 1v1 game. In summary, it is always epic to watch a ZP or ZT team defy the odds against a dual Zerg team.
Below I have included a list of most of the best 2v2 foreign Zergs. Who are the best players? What style do they have? Who are the better Polish Zergs? Do Westside, Nyana, Xiazoi and LJT deserve a spot on the list? You may say some player sucks, but these are all A+ players...

damn thats a good list of people ive owned
also these polish zergs dont hold a candle to westside or xaiozi or ljt they just all retired and faded away
they just polish zergs all play alot when these players quit so they are getting high ranks
and if u go back and look at their iccup accts ull see that all them where B- B max when all the good players played.
|
Why Xiaozi wouldn't deserve his spot!? The best 2v2 players I know, but my knowledge on the 2v2 is limited I must say.
|
i remember bming xiaozi in a ums pub once
also wasn't yan zerg? or was he toss?

Saw him as Toss.

what an oddly specific question.
|
Scan forsure
edit: idk if he plays zerg 2v2
|
It's hard to compare zergs that quit to zergs that are active now. LJT wasn't really a zerg, so he doesn't belong there. Even if he was a zerg, he wouldn't be on the list. Why do you have Terran players on that list. Do you even know the people you have there? lol...
edit- You are missing Diestar, polish zerg. Also missing Skyless from croatia. Westside, Skyless, Diestar probably the 3 zergs I miss allying the most. 
|

It seems your inactivity has gotten the best of you. Stoprocent, FeatJoe, Energy, and Babo have been offracing recently as Terran for fun.
|
Energy is Terran, he doesn't play zerg at all...
|
So who are the other Terran players.....?
|
No one, but LJT definitely isn't considered a zerg.
edit- what is there to confirm? lol I've played with every single person you listed. xD
|
I will fix my errors, after I confirm them. Thanks for the help.

No offense but this thread seems really weird, you have a list of best 2v2 foreign zergs which is 15 players. This means that you would have probably a list of 50-60 or so total players (if you go 15 of each + some random or race pickers). This concludes that you have just added about any 2v2 player who has ever played and gotten an A rank.
In short, most people don't deserve to be on that list if you are choosing the best 2v2 players. imo any current 2v2 player in the past 2 years who has gotten an A rank or so shouldn't be on the list because 2v2 now is a lot about abusing the ladder in the first place since there is a very limited selection of opponents (and yeah I've seen plenty of people dodging on various 2s streams)
Best zerg on that list currently is either trutacz nizzy or scan, but you are missing lots of the CN 2v2 players and Xiaozi+ LJT were better than most on the list.

dRaW because it 2v2, most good players play Zerg anyway. There are hardly any good T's or P's left. Everyone on this list has gotten A+, or the equivalent in a few years a go, a fact you wouldn't know being a 1v1 player yourself. It seems like you have some sort of EGOMANIAC problem if you just join streams to see who is dodging. Also, the fact you forgot to mention the best 2v2er Zerg ever, Belladona, makes me suspect you don't know much about 2v2.

how the f belladona can be #1 in this list, i think he's not even in top10. o_O
in my opinion, current top5 are: nizzy, Scan, trutaCz, Yan and someone from Dark/SP/Lurek/Baga/...
legends (who doesnt play now at all) top5 are westside, Xiaozi, Mondragon, nyana and maybe DieStar (he was rly good Z)
top5 terran of icc history (including koreans) are: Capi, Jesus, Scan, Member, existminizerg
Hard to tell about tosses, since I remember only Yan and family]a[bc and a guy with id KUK

I think you have bias against A++ Belladona >_<. I added Yan as offrace Zerg. I don't think Mondragon did much in 2v2 besides finish 1st place in two seasons of WGTour. I'm opened to be proven wrong though, and I will change my mind.

Lurek and Stoprocent no doubt
