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. | ||

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) 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 ;; | ||

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