Good idea. I wonder how entertaining these games will be.
|
Only player I know to have 2v2 experience among the lineup is Heart, who was part of the Axiom 2v2 crew during SHOUTCraft Clan Wars. I expect the Heart/Crank team, the Impact/Ryung team, and the Symbol/Supernova team to take Top 3.

Boo DeadPix and Samsung. Ask them for team names!
|
Solar Stork? Really surprised to see Kespa players doing a TWO V TWO tournament! Especially those two... This looks amazing though. The players best not just cheese every game!!
|
I'm really pumped for this. I miss watching the regular 2v2 cups from early WoL.
|
I don't see any way in which a team named "Ryunfarts" can ever lose.
|
If this is a viewership success, will you hold bigger 2v2 tournaments in the near future?

just wondering if you would mind using this for the tournament

Awesome, this is why I sub!
Rifkin, I'd like to make things a little interesting, let me know what you think: I donate $10 to go straight to the player who delivers the best trash-talking one-liner in game (similar to Golden's "sup son"). It would have to be good-spirited and typed in English, as chosen by the casters at the end (or straw-polled from the chat, but I bet that's harder). Hopefully we can post a jpg or gif of it in the TL thread afterwards.
What do you think? If you agree, I'll donate next time I'm in channel. If you think this doesn't work, I'll delete this message and we can all pretend this never happened :D
And if anyone else wants to jump in and sweeten the pot, speak up!
ETA: good spirited - don't want someone to say something really offensive to set the twitterazzi on fire. I hope that possibility doesn't take the whole idea down

What's the name of the map?
Also, brackets are up! Available here: http://challonge.com/BTTV2v2
We couldn't quite fill the 8 team roster we were aiming for (I think we could if this was another week, but with many of my friends & contacts on MVP/Prime they had to decline due to PL) so instead we've opted for a double elimination format with the teams we do have. Map pool will be posted shortly

I think this would be more fun with English players, without someone like James ready & available to translate it'd be difficult to convey

I just realized there aren't any same-race teams. Well, I'm sure they'll still be crazy bullshit even if there isn't double SH wall or marine flooding or PROTOSS. 
|
get some real 2v2 teams in there to face against 1v1 pros on same team. this creates an interesting dynamic.

Guys, I don't understand PZvPZ. I think I only understand ZTvXX.

solar finally wins a game in a team league

looked like a ZvZ and PvP at the same time

Okay, holding a rush in PZvPZ is pretty awesome. I can get used to this.

Solar has as much supply as wins in PL this year.
|
Wow, that game was pretty much 20 minutes of constant pressure, rush, and counterattacking! It makes me sad that 2v2 maps won't give players the time to keep attack for so long in LotV with the mineral patch change. Maybe 2v2 maps can keep the same mineral count or something.
|
Is there a bracket for this?

Ouch. Your burn was way better than mine. Well done.
|
thank you for casting 2v2s, 1v1 is getting old.
|
I feel that gameheart could use a bit of revising for its 2v2 layout. The margins should be smaller, as should the font, and the transparency should be increased. Perhaps some of the data could be condensed in regards to the income portions of the tab and be reserved for switching to a separate income menu at the casters' discretion.
|
"I'm really sad no one's picking Sacred Path. It was my favorite map from the Shoutcraft series." Uh, that's because it was the only 2v2 map in that map pool. I really didn't like that map, back when me and my partner were more active, and I wasn't terribly pleased with it from a spectator standpoint either. 2v1 rushes and excessive Banshees for days.
|
Symbol and Supernova missed out on so many opportunities to support each other. I wonder if they were even communicating at all.

Time for Ryung to win 1v2.
Sick quintuple expo from TRUE though

Bbyong mechs in TvP, but he's kind of cool that way.

Okay, while I wouldn't call that game a shining example of 2v2 splendor, I'm glad I got to see like 4 different things that you will NEVER see in a 1v1. The initial hold with Phoenixes and lings against the Stalker Hellion attack was pretty good though.
|
These fights are pretty fun to watch. Not sure if that's because of the novelty value but I'm enjoying it!
|
Usually when I find myself with a glut of minerals in a 2v2, I make spines behind my forward hatchery and don't move them until my partner is ready for a pushback. They kind of just uselessly juggled those extra mins, although an extra couple gateways might've helped if Patience had made them immediately upon being fed.
|
Really loving the 2v2 games and hope there are more in the future!
|
I would love to see how some top NA teams stack up against these teams.

Omg that probe getting pushed away against his will by the marines is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
|
Usually when I hear my partner scream "FUCK YOU!" over voice chat, I know that I'm blocking one of his workers.
|
I don't get how these people see buried WMs so quickly and precisely. There's no way I could notice something like that while harassing a mineral line with the added micro requirement of graviton beam.
Also :3 I got referenced by ZG on stream. Movin' on up!
|
Neat! Sorry I missed seeing this live.
|
Hey BaseTrade! Thanks for doing this awesome 2v2 tournament, it was fun!
Please use Teamcolors mod next time tho. Hard to tell who was with who.

Can't stop watching that video, looked like it hurt really bad lol.
Sounds fun, thanks for all you do!
|
Thanks for this! Watching the stream. WOuld have been more convenient with youtube or vods where you can skip to a fix game more easily though. Also, why not invite dedicated 2on2 players? Must have been a lot of 2on2 teams that would love to play for this much money, and it is interesting to see how dedicated 2on2 teams do against (often) mechanically better 1on1 players that dont know the strategy.

Axiom proving once again that we can only ever win team tournaments ;P
|
Hey BasetradeTV, I hope you see this Twournament as succes!
So I hope we can see a large 2v2 Tournament by BTTV anytime soon.
|
(edit: nvm, got confused with the date)
there should be more stuff like this!
|
|
|
I enjoyed this so much. I might subscribe for the replays. I will definitely subscribe if there are followup tournaments.
If it gained support, I wonder: would Basetrade consider hosting a 2v2 map making contest and invite entries from the major mapmaking teams (including korean ones)?

Can you try not being condescending when you post?

Thanks for the tournament, watching the vods has been really fun. However, I just wanted to throw my two cents in and suggest not using team colors in the future. Personally, I prefer being able to see whose armies are moving on the map and which player on each team is expanding where ever they're expanding. Instead enforcing similar colors within a team, like blue and teal vs. red and pink could be a good compromise like in this game between Crank&Heart and Patience&True: http://i.imgur.com/1LE0QDt.jpg

Rifkin and BaseTradeTV. This. Was. Awesome!
I would love it if you could do more tournaments like this.
I think the unexplored meta and potential combinations of units between the different races is really rad, especially with really good/pro players.
I really hope that you get enough support to keep this kind of tournament going because I LOVED it, and I can't be the only one.
Thanks for all the effort! (not just with this tourny, for the SC2 community in general as well)
:D

Thank you so much for doing this. I enjoy 2v2 even more than 1v1 in SC2.
Please more 2v2 games and tournaments!
