It is possible to play a 2v1 straight up. You need to turtle hard to survive the initial push, but if you just slow push tanks across the map you will win. Although I guess this isn't so straight up since ur abusing the fact that the AI just runs their entire army into tank fire and dies.....

I like the part where walling in the the pinnacle of Starcraft Brilliance, that has never been thought of before. Except, you know, the part where it has.

3v1 isn't possible, because there is no way you can get out enough units to defend the first push. You can, however, cheese a 3v1, and win that way. But doing it legit, with terran, is a no go. Also, later in the game, they have way too many units w/ upgrades, and push with too many to keep a 200/200 army going for every push.

(I cheesed them, but allowed them to live, and around 15 min or so, I died from 3x maxed armies)

Yeah you're right that that would be a gimmicky strategy. In Athene's case, he made enough tanks to survive their initial bioball, but in reality a real player wouldn't just a-move their whole army constantly up the ramp to try to break through. A single mutalisk would have done so much damage because he was RUSHING to tanks.

Anyone can cheese AI by abusing their mechanics. The reason Athene is showing off is because he actually took the AI's push head on and defended it instead of flying off to the island like a little bitch.

Uh ... walling off with buildings and trapping the ai through a open/closed depot is on the same cheese level as proxy cannons as toss. Ofc, proxy cannons don't take 80 minutes ...

Wait, so this is a thread about "trololol I won 2v1 me so awesome and u r suxXx0rz" now?
I won 1v2 in beta as copper league player. Do I win this thread now?

On a more serious note the main reason 1v3 insane ai is so damn hard to do is because you cant do it on Lost Temple and there are no other good maps(at least the last time I checked all maps).
Maybe I am not up to date and they changed some stuff but since nobody seems to have a problem beating 1v2 ai I can´t be bother to check if I´m trolling right now.

I didn´t watch the 10 minute video either, I guess that is why everybody is crazy now over stuff like walling in and using tanks. pro tip: use full wall of bunkers with all ebay upgrades, repair with shitton scv and ofcourse have dozens of 3/0 tanks.

Disregard this transmission out
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

It's easy to beat insanes as terran doing a mass reaper strat. I beat 1v2 in 16 mins using 9 depot, 9 rax, 9 gas build on Monsoon (a standard 3v3 map). I pump 2 more SCVs, get orbital on 12, and then just go for 3 rax reaper with speed and eventually get EB upgrades if the game lasts that long, or just throw down another rax. I'm sure it would work against 1v3 as well. I can post the replay if anyone wants to see. The key is to pick a map with a relatively long rush distance so you don't get bum rushed super fast.

Wouldn't it be funny if 2 cloaked ghosts took out 20 seige tanks and 2 badly hurt battle cruisers because someone didn't know that scanning revealed cloaked units?

I would imagine the best Protoss in the world know that just from playing against Terran.

Someone on Reddit has apparently beaten the Athene challenge by besting 1x4 insanes. I wonder what Athene will pull next...
