TZ

What the Z does:
Massive ground army. Mix it up, pick whatever you like. Be in Tier 2 at a minimum.

What the T does:
Medivac+Mass Tank+Some Marauders.

The gameplan:

T goes quick wall-in while he builds his force. Z goes for econ early if possible, but needs to be self-sufficient to let the T do his thing best as possible. When T is ready.... let's say when he has 4 Medivacs, and enough Tanks to fill 3 of them, with enough marauders to fill the 4th.... T moves out! Before T moves out, Z needs to have a Nydus network with an enterance ready... (I see where this is going.)

Move your droppable army into the corner of an enemy's base. Drop the army, and position them to protect a small area by a corner. So you need to place them into a half-circle around an opening.

Then the Z.... Yep, you got it.... Nydus in the protected area behind the half-circle of Sieged Tanks and Marauders. The Z floods units in. When the T is comfortable that the Z has this under control, Move the Tank/Marauder to the other base and repeat.

Z would be best to use Hydra, so if the opponents have an air force, you synergize better.

I would ragequit hard as hell if that ever happened to me in 2v2. Lol.

It really is a shame that the old strat of Vortex/Nuke anymore. That might be fun to play around with. Maybe Vortex/Strike Cannon? Nuke/Strike Cannon?

How about force field/strike cannon. Easier to pull off and involves Thors!

Something interesting to try for a TT match might be BCs/Ravens. Heck I think something like this with both Yamato and Hunter-Seeker missiles might just be rather dominating, if you can tech up that far.

OMG, most imba thing in the game! Do it!

I decided just to have some fun and do a commentary for one of these games. I bring you the cannon/gateway rush:

This is actually supremely effective- in 2v2 on metalopolis, have a terran float their CC over to the high mins as soon as the game starts. Having your mains close to each other helps a lot, and you'll outpace someone normal in minerals very quickly. Map control is easier to maintain, and yeah. Good times.

I've used this in 1v1 a bit as well- again, you can outpace your opponent in minerals, but the much more vulnerable position has left less than amazing results that can be easily abused. In 2v2 you're not as exposed with a partner to help out.

I think dual mass ravens would be hilarious. Defense drones can shut down most ranged units, especially AA, and once you get hunter-seeker missile the game degrades into hilarity.

Throw in planetary fortress walls for the ultimate turtle till you get ravens? Might need a few tanks and other units to defend before you can get the gas. This would be fairly map-dependent (twilight fortress would be amazing for this).

Alternatively you could go PP and work off that resource feeding concept, except feeding the one guy who goes for early carriers/mothership. This would require your opponents to be fairly passive though (perhaps the guy feeding resources could risk a FE to a high-yield, which would be particularly possible on Kulas Ravine, and then you just mass a ton of cannons everywhere)..

Just some ideas.

Can't wait for 4v4.

Yeah, ask Psyonic_Reaver about the hilarity of hunter-seeker missiles.

Hey, no problem. I was also going to commentate the double planetary fortress rush but it was kind of anti-climactic toward the end. =P

Alternatively, go mass ravens and mass infestors. Spam turrets and infested terrans for maximum hilarity.

Actually, now that I think about it, a fungal growth + HSM combo would rape pretty hard.

I know I've seen MULEs and Planetary Fortresses mentioned in the thread, but what about combining them? Do a PF/MULE push.

Or what about a Colossus/Thor push? Just fill the screen with mechanized goodness. Maybe even Colossus/Ultralisk or Thor/Ultralisk.

idk how mule push would work considering they don't do any damage :/ colosus thor push sounds fun though
