This is what we need. A movement to make SC2 FUN again, not just stressful and competitive.
Because lets admit it: it is fun to play games with friends.

Wait how much is a canadian dollar? Like 0.01 euro?
Anyway, gogo euro 2on2 scene!!! 
(and gogo a ZZ team that can win at least one game!)

IMHO, the 2 on 2 scene need good standard maps, not crazy maps. Is we want people to start playing competitive 2 on 2 more, we need done kind if consensus on which the maps are. So best thing is probably to take the acceptable ladder maps and the best of the standard community maps, and try to stick to those in the few 2 on 2 tournaments that are around. Dine deviations are desired of course, but if there are 7 new maps every time, announced shortly before the tournaments, it adds more random, and discourages serious 2 on 2 teams. A bit boring, but that is my take on this.
Gogo make good maps!

Great, thanks for posting!
Hmm, can we add races to these players? I know a few, but not all.
I have no idea who Zervas or Lambo are, but "Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Boyz" sounds like a team anyone should be intimidated to go up against! :D

Petreus' and Iaguz's team name could use some spicing up. Wee Lad Gimli. Sueartep. Down Underrated. The Root of My Insanity. Zugaius. OceaniaKingPrime.
As for Team NA, it's good, and it's accurately descriptive. But I think it would be fun to do a sort of play off of the two people involved, especially if it references Major's pokémon addiction. Rhyperiorwolf. Serperiorwolf. Conan and the Princess. Mega Altaria. The Evil 8s. Juan Carlos Wolf. Suppémon. Conan the Contrarian. SuperiorKitty. Liuchadores. Blast Burn. The Fairy Dragons.

I'm confused, are you generally putting that out there to hope ESL or someone will pick up 2v2s, or telling us to stop making 2v2 tourneys/get different casters for events we put on? D:
Regardless, Nathanias is doing 2v2 stuff, and with Clan Wars coming back, TB is doing 2v2s too, right?
|
|
|
I've tuned in just now.
Even 2v2s in Europe are tempests vs corruptor/infestor?
|
Obvious 2v2 players are better than obvious non 2v2 players
Still entertaining =)
|
top3 teams get money and Team "Suckerpunch" got into top4 by freewins ^^? maybe I should also try participating =P
|
Should have taken the island
|
|
|
I don't understand  What does it means?
|
We need 2v2s in NationWars! I want to who the world champions in 2v2 is! 
|
P/Z is by far the worst 2v2 combination
and the one I play ;;
|
Skytoss/mech with lots of ravens is the ultimate 2v2 composition
|
Sacred Path is seriously the worst 2v2 map I've ever seen tournaments use. Learn from your mistakes. STOP USING SACRED PATH.

That's the sense me and my partner usually get when we play against it. Although in the super late game, BL-Infestor Mothership-Tempest is really damn hard to deal with. Fungals locking the opponents' anti-air in place while Tempests lash them at a distance, BLs making a wall of damaging temporary units... I pretty much give up engaging against it and have to dedicate purely to counter attacks.
Sentry-Immortal-Baneling is amazing if you and your partner have beautiful coordination. I've never pulled it off, but I've had it done against me and I feel like I'm playing against a bot with perfect micro to show off their AI programming skills.

While PT does have the best late-game given all the time and money in the world, PZ has a lot of windows to give themselves a decisive advantage, and I would argue are actually slightly favored in the matchup. Hellions are a non-issue as the protoss can go pheonix. In the early and midgame, the zerg player can afford to feed more gas than the terran, so the pz team should always end up with more pheonix. Blink timings with ling bane are also quite potent. On a few of the maps such as katherine square, there are several abusable cannon rush locations with overlord vision. The biggest advantage that PZ has is its aggressive potential, which means that they do have to mix it up with allins, or at least pressure builds designed to deny naturals or thirds.

Link to VODs please!
And youtube maybe???
thanks, looking forward to watching a PZ team win. :D
