I was wondering how u guys felt about 2on2 games. Some people say, for an example take Testie, that double Zerg is the best combo for 2on2 play. When you look at their playing style, they start with 9pool with fast speedlings, dominate the map on ground and start exping.

When looking at the WGT ranking the [Seal] guys which are 5th and 6th also play dual z. They probably play the same way as Testie & Tittybang but I haven't checked it yet.

I also want to say that I haven't played testie & tittybang yet, but their strat doesn't seem so gosu to me -.- I actually really think I'd beat them, just cos they always play the same way and it isn't such a invulnerable strat imo.

Just curious to your reactions ^^
And how about Jinsu & Jinnam? Weren't they the top 2on2 korean team or something?
It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.

Seal team plays p/z. And Testie and titty doesn't go dual 9 pool every game, though pretty often. Its a very strong strat indeed. Very flexible.

Well.. what u say is like shit T.T
Like rushing and/or starting with low tech owns 2on2 ;/
If u make lots of low tech and u cant do any shit with them, ur opponents go tech, u're fucked -.-

I was nr 1&2 in wgt season 2 so don't tell me it isn't true --

The key is DOING shit with ur lots or lings or whatever... nobody can handle a 2v1 situation early game. I wont rush if both oppos are terran thought. Bunker is to fast.

Dual zerg is very good especially against protoss, but against other races as well. Dual mass speedlings can really screw you up or have you get lots of defense against htem, which is basically mass zeals for toss. Then zerg can easily and quickly switch to mutas and dual mutas vs toss who went zeals is a bitch.

Yes you can, also as a zerg or a protoss, with protoss you just start out with a gate/forge build, making 1 (or maybe 2) cannons on your ramp, with 2 or 3 zeals, and you're completely safe to an early rush . With zerg you can hatch at your choke, or in your main, with some sunks, your ally will be having tech that will tear the low-tech-users up.
All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you

Well I kind of suck very cock these times.. When I look at replays from season 2 and match them with the reps of this season, me and my ally both suck so hard =[.

And anyways, I just don't want to take advise from a belgian player

I was looking for reactions on the dual zerg thing, cos when I play dual zerg, it mostly fucks up except vs dual toss when playing like testie, cos u have a pretty early expand when u own the low grounds.

OK let me say this.Lets say I have played like 500 2v2's and I played like 250 with agressive low tech ... and I won 200 of them. Ur playstyle will get owned by agressive dual rush.sunks/bunks/cans are mostly to late. And if they are on time that means u have spend money on defence. And u ll tech slower so I have time to catch up.

you won't hold dual 9 pool rush, or 7,8gateway+8,9rax marine rush by doing that. And not at all when you don't expect it, or start with a 10 sup 11 rax wallin build or hatch-before-pool-build or something..

Hello. Belgian people are quite stupid. It's like a disease. All Belgian people should be terminated before their inhuman behaviour works like a virus on the normal people of the planet earth. I suggest starting with this 'surv' person, because he is quite possibly the DUMBEST Belgian alive. No hard feelings, just die soon.

Later.
