Me and my friend tried to do a similar build, but I played Z, him P and he fed me for a very strong 8 minute 15 roach push: it works wonders!

As 2v2 master TZ we played against this build recently. We managed to win, but that's because we were just barely able to exploit the weakness of this strategy - poor early defence.

Broke down the back rocks on Tyrador keep and ran into 1 bunker. Easily took it down, and got into the PT base just as the 8 gates were finishing. Took out a game-ending chunk of workers before we got cleaned up, and we immediately put down 3 bunkers and 3 spines in our base just in case.

When the push came, we barely held even with all those defensive structures and repair. Because of the economic damage we did it was game over from there. If we attacked a minute later, I think we would've lost the game.

I'm not sure what you can do to make the build safer while maintaining its effectiveness, but I think it's needed.

8 minutes is super slow for 15 roaches.

A friend and I do something like this (only my friend is T), and generally I am able to spend all our resources for a push that leaves around the 6 and a half minute mark and has about this many roaches, if not more (I am usually able to get closer to 20). I open with a 10-pool and don't go above mineral saturation for 1-base (as taking gas is easier for T and leaves me additional larva I need for the push).

I think it's fairly obvious that it's much more efficient for one member of a team to feed another member while building workers only, it's specialization of task. You can even go further and have one player focus on doing macro only while having the other player control the army 100% of the time. You're basically playing off 2 bases right away while able to focus on upgrading and/or rushing a tech really early on with little chance of being punished. You also don't pay twice for the same upgrade if you dump money into the same player's army. Protoss obviously also have the added benefit of getting its infamous death ball much earlier than a solo game.

If anything, I feel feeding is actually limiting the scopes of 2v2 because of how ridiculous it can become.

Sounds nice but how are u gonna support 11 gates on1 base? i assume u take one expansion after u built 3 gates? otherwise u will lag resources.
...I'm going to try it anyway ^^

interesting strategy - i think you'll find like me most people play 1s seriously and 2s for fun - and whilst winning is fun, having a terran team mate doing more than just feeding you is often more fun.

given this is essentially a 2base timing attack - i would imagine there would be more optimised feed builds
If you dont like something, then that should be reason enough to try and change it

well, i ve said this build is full of bug, as the timing window is too narrow.
but the writer could only see his strength, but not his weakness, and not listening.

if a map having back door is great for his push, it is even harder for him to hold early push

yeah thats obviously true...but wouldnt it be bad if i just showed how lame this strat is by referring to all the scenario's in whitch this will loose instead of showing its strengths...im well aware of this builds weaknesses and ive written em down!

i have an idea about Chrono Boost
if you are chronoing upgrade, while you engage only after your upgrade finish, you will need 3 chrono on +1, +1, and charge to boost your timing by 10 sec.
but 3 chrono on cyber would boost your warp tech by 30 sec, which is nearly a round of warping, means more unit to def early game.

If the Z feeds the P, you get a round of 8 +1 zealots around 6:15, and 4Z + 4S for the next wave. Then you get 40 speedlings around 7 to reinforce, and still won't miss a round of warpin.

The problem with PZ is always the maps though. P cannot wall on large ramps, so Z has to early pool and then you're way behind. Which is why it works so well for PT; you're uncheesable.

I like how people who don't know shit about high level 2v2 keep nitpicking on stuff and saying a wall stops that. Abstraction ftw i guess
I got five reasons for you to shut up

Actually this strategy is far from high level 2v2, I'd say its about low-mid masters at best.
