I'm competent and have a good strategy for Toss (cannon to void ray), Terran (reaper) and Zerg (muta). I'm especially looking for a good group to get the 3v3 games done.

I propose we create a custom chat channel for this. I have one named "TL Coop". If everyone just joins that, we will have a single place to meet up whenever you are online.

TL ID: Mataza B.net Name: Mataza Code: 201 Server: EU Comments: Do only insane, made everything besides winning 250 so I have some experience and can help out.
I have a suggestion for your tactics. At least till last patch the ai had a giant weakness, abusable on every single 2v2 map. When you play T or P and go cannon/bunker, the moment your defense on low ground stands you are free to build anywhere in their base as logn as they don´t have a fighting unit already. Easy with cannons, as you can simply put 3 cannons in their minerals, on some maps it even works against zerg. If it doesnt work vZ, cannon up the edge of creep and build gateway right away, pull roaches into the cannons and you still win, its just a bit slower.
With T it is very hard to get a high ground bunker up near minerals as pulling workers is much harder. You can pull units to your bunker by popping out a marine and put him back in when enemies are in bunker range. I don´t give any guarantees for the T play, as the worker pull is most needed and hardest to do.

While your strategies are fine and they will get you a win, they are slower than the ones listed in he guide. Every single match up if using the guide will be a 5 minute victory or sooner, Z + P is possible to do in 4:20 actually but you still have to wait it out, the only exception to that is TvP on a couple maps which can take 5:15.
With your tactics the cannon if done just about perfectly still takes 5:30 seconds, and making cannons and then gateways vs zerg is 7-8 minutes, which is quite a large difference. As terran, you don't need bunkers, except vs protoss, which can be kept on the low ground. I'm not saying your tactics are bad, use them if they work for you, but I promise they are slower than the ones mentioned, as I played with lots of different people.

yea, I agree with captncraig

the new channel feature will make doing this so much easier

@Skillz_Man I searched around TL and I couldn't find the guide you are referring to. Where can I find these guides?

My Mini Coop Guide in the first post right under the Players spoiler ;p
Yep, the channel feature would be helpful no doubt, just remember, I dont think many people will stay in a channel for 30 minutes waiting for a person to come, but just adding the person and asking them when they're online seems easier, hoewever it's worth a shot to make one and see how it goes.

I just keep the channel open whenever I am logged in. If I see people in there I will say hi and see if anyone wants to paly.

Alright, I added the chatroom to the OP, hopefully it will be popular.

Just started looking at co-op, though have already done all Solo Insane AI stuff. Usually online at 14:00-20:00 GMT, though not often. Will try to keep chat channel up.

Hey guys, can someone detail a bit on depot harass?
To save an SCV from raging crowd, I am starting a depot, building it to approximately two squares of health bar and run the SCV away. But if enemy minerals are close, workers still spot the SCV and pursue, so I have to watch both SCV and the depot. Is this the best way, or am I overlooking something?

Build depot, when their workers reach your vision, or little sooner if you can estimate a time halt construction. Run SCV away, some will attack depot some will chase your SCV. Run your SCV away and cancel depot when it's about to die which will make their workers retreat. It isn't very difficult, however if you don't feel comoftable with it, cancel right when their SCVs get there I guess, but then you aren't maximazing their lost mining time.
Hopefully that's why you ment.

TL ID: LoCaD B.net Name: LoCaD Code: 579 Server: EU Comments: insane only, currently Toss cannon rush, takes about 10 mins to gg,really safe against any race on any map. Searching for 2vs2 and 3vs3, add me to friends and message anytime you log in.

This isn't a personal knock to you - Just something I have noticed. I have played co-ops with a bunch of people from this thread and I can say that unless you can beat the AI in 5-6 mins (which is how long it takes me... and should take you) we wont be playing many games. Because there really isn't much of an excuse for it taking longer. If you read the strats in the first post and have an apm than about 40 - you can execute them perfectly.
I leave the games at 5 mins - which is when you can to get credit and my person always ggs. If the other person has to stay in the game for a few more mins to get theirs to gg, I will give tips for another game or 2, but if you dont make improvement its not worth my time.
TL:DR - Know how to beat a computer in 5 mins or it will be hard to find a partner to stick with you for lots of games.
