I've used the search function but cannot find any similar tactics (please delete if this has been discussed before)
If playing a 2v2 and your teammate quits immediately, you gain control of his mining units but you also gain his starting minerals (50) if he has not built a drone/scv/probe
Today I played around with this a bit. Both choosing terran to test it out.
-My teammate puts his scv's on minerals, does not build an scv, he then quits the game immediately
-I put my scv's on minerals, I don't build an scv but grab one and instantly place a supply depot (4 or 5 seconds into the game, obviously my teammate quitting gives me 50 plus the 50 I have)
-At the same time I take 2 scv's and run them down the map
-The moment that fast supply depot is finished I can place one barracks approx halfway down the map (as far as 2 scv's can make it in the time it takes to finish a supply depot) and a second barracks very soon after (Makarax style), while these go up I can actually afford to build more scvs
-I have barracks and marines long before they can have any. Can attack right away, attack in a group, place the fastest bunker possible, etc.
I'm fiddling around with this, the timings are ridiculous, has this been done before?

It's funny how broken that is, do it as much as possible so blizzard patches.

If someone quits at the beginning of the game, it's an immediate red flag. If the remaining player is a terran, I would immediately send out a scout to look for proxies. I'm sure the two player team can fight off the rush with workers, provided they scout.
That said, it's still a powerfully strategy and it's inherently unfair that one player is getting a double income before the other team can trade resources. Keep abusing and see how far it takes you.

seems very nice tactic, but wont it be better as z? while doing earliest 6pool possible and getting fast queen and gas for speed maybe? ;p actually its like a 12pool, so u should have the money to build a queen and get speed! :D

seriously, what is the fun in doing something so stupid? why do people promote lame strategies?

lol cheesy weird tacts are fun, well atleast to some people, if you do not like to do weird cheesy stuff do NOT read this!
|
I remember an older thread about this but the strategy was to be zerg and get a 6 pool.

Lol agreed.... abuse imbalance gangstAAA

This is awesome thank you so much for sharing this by far the most fun 2s cheese ( although i do a 6 pool variant with double zerg) Such great bm responses
|
zerg is great because you can make a pool at 24 seconds then make an ovie while pool is making and send a scouting drone right when pool starts, then make 6 lings and a queen right when pool pops, and then after making a set of lings or so you can drop the 2nd players pool, and just break/deny wall in with initial lings until your big waves comes .... Genius strat man  thx again
|
There was a thread about this, but it was tailored to early baneling bust. Really, it's unfair, but part of the game. Maybe blizzard will change it so if someone leaves in the first minute of the game, the other team can trade resources immediately.
|
precisely why i wall off while cutting scvs if i see 1 of the opponent player quit.
|
How do cannon rushes work with this?

Or the retarded 3v3 ZZT, T quits ASAP, one Z queues an SCV and the other cancels it which apparently shares resources before it should be possible. Repeat until 200 minerals, throw down a pool (original thread said at 0:16) - gives big bunch o lings much earlier than a "normal" 6 pool.
There is supposed to be a thread on this but cant find it, sorry.
As EatThePath said - when it happens, scout very aggressively. With the latest 2v2 map pool it should be easier to hold of this kind of crap since more (all) bases are shared or have close ramps... You dont have a replay, do you?
|
I'd kind of be expecting it after I see the first guy quit though...

hooooly jesus fuck that's insane. team games are so broken LOL

this is a verry lame strategy to bypass the imposibility to trade minerals during the first 5 minutes
its basicly bug abuse/cheating imo
dont see it to often on the ladder luckily but if 1 opponent leaves at start prepare for a huge and verry fast rush
|
Retarded tactic for retarded people with no skill involved. Happened to me over half a year ago, so it's definitely not new. I see "cheese" viable in team games, but something like this? Just rediculous. If it makes you feel better and/or more "skilled", go on and do it...
Btw. do it with a TP team (P leaving) and your eco is sky-rocketing due to CB.
