Yeah I tried playing with my older brother in bronze 2v2 (he's low/mid silver or so in 1v1 but doesn't play much). We kept running into plat/diamond players. >.>

The good old spire watchtower

that spire says that Hyun simple doesn't give a fuck

Guess Hyun attacked the very moment Cheeto was warping the DTs... a little unlucky

I face a lot of gold and silver 1v1 players that are plat or diamond 2v2. There are some strategies that are really easy to execute in team games that can push you up the ladder. Back when I played a lot more my friend and I just went ling hellion every game and it was a pretty straightforward win against most people

I know that feel, we matched with a guy playing his second ever game of SC2 the other day. I knew something was up when I saw 3 pylons in his main and nothing else. Supporting his 10 probes. 2 of which were idling. His teammate was a little annoyed, understandably. But then again we've matched with 1v1 GMs before. Naturally they wreck.
Blizz plays very little attention to team playlists. Balance patches have a huge (and often very different) impact. At least they've improved the map pool. Though the 2v2 equivilant of Steppes of War is still in there.
It's a shame, really, cause I love 2v2 and don't really enjoy 1v1 as much. I feel the game could be a lot more popular if people actually paid attention to it. Oh well.

Yeah you can't expect someone to do two things at once!

After Hyun backed off after killing the third, I thought he was gonna tech up into a troll army to win the game. And then he just won with the Mutas instead

Well, we both:
-Play random
-Expand at reasonable times (generally one of us FE's and the other plays a safe build)
-Tech normally
-Make reasonable unit compositions.
This doesn't work very well for some reason, 2v2 players generally take everything to the extreme (mass doomdrop, a billion expansions before gateway, mass BC etc)

2v2 is very interesting... Go too low down in the leagues and its brutal (lots of diamond/masters playing bronze to troll), high silver/gold is where the 'real' lower level players live haha. And then after that plat-masters ppl are usually 1 league lower than their 1v1 league.

In my experience expand builds are suicide in anything other than 1v1. You really need those early units.

Why are stream 2 and 3 showing the same game? Shouldn't be that hard to join a chat channel together and write "I'm jumping in to tempo vs nooblord game now"

This would be true on smaller maps (or against cheese). The bigger maps are like huge fricken giants that are basically a bad 2v2 version of alterzim stronghold.
