Shit's different in gold league. Proxy 3rax reaper into siege tank/turret turtle into battlecruiser is a legit build.


Hey now, gold isn't that bad. Most people in gold at least try to copy pro strats at least, even if we do it very poorly


In 1v1, perhaps. I only really play 2v2. And mass carrier is actually in the meta.

The rule I usually use for 2v2 is most people in that league are usually 1-2 leagues lower in 1v1 :D


Actually very untrue. I'm diamond level in 2v2 and people we play in plat are often masters in 1v1. Shit is brutal.

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. >.>

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

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)

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

depends way to much on maps, races etc.


I think so too, with hots and the new map pool making expos easier to defend, as long as you're playing with a group of decent friends and have good teamwork and army positioning, you can make expo builds work.

Of course if EVERY player on your team plays super greedy.. thats a different story.

You have to synergise well. It's map dependent, obviously. On crooked maw, it's just 1 base plays. Isle of Slaughter/Old Country you can go CC/nexus first, on Old Country you can get away with 3 hatch before pool.

Early rushes are very very strong particularly when you are separated from your teammate - walloffs are a must (which sucks when one player is zerg). Stuff like double 10pool/speedling all ins etc when one player gets focused down on by the other really sucks.

Some race compositions are really favoured. P/Z is very weak to early rushes but has great late game. T/T can turtle and contain to equal effect - things like mass widow mine + mass drops are v good.

It's a very diverse and interesting playlist and I wish it got more attention ;;

considering he doesn't know a build for 7gate, so he can't be too high.

Do you mean he doesn't get paid to play SC2? I'd say it is pretty safe to say that.

We know about which maps support which playstyles. My brother is not particularly great at pressuring/taking expansions so we have all of the mega-super-huge-way-too-large-stupidly-gargantuan-beyond-belief maps vetoed. (It's getting harder to do that though)
On crooked maw we take the in-base expansion and block the front. We usually die to cheeses anyway (unless the opponents are awful) so...)

This is the upside to open tournaments. It's sports. Everyone should have a chance to compete, even if he loses horribly.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Ah hiding his builds by not placing in 1v1. Smart.
