My guess is that a pro should be able to take 2 low gold players in a best of 7 if he manages to secure a quick 2base without dying to early pushes. But it would be close. I have myself 1v2:ed quite a few times when playing custom 2:2 on shattered temple but thats was vs quite worthless players. And by 1v2 I mean that my ally sat in his base playing sim city while I attacked and killed the other guys. This is however quite different from a real 1v2 scenario since while my ally didnt do anything he still exists in the game and cripples the mentality of the opponents. I would never let it even come to a expansion. Each game would be over within the first 4-6min. | ||

Terran progamers especially, since they can wall and build CC in their main. Assuming you are gold, you simply cannot macro, micro, or multitask like a progamer. Past the first few minutes he would probably just have an army as big as both of you combined, and micro those units very cost efficiently. Back when I was a Gold Protoss (season 1) I beat two of my silver friends in a 1v2 as Terran with just a week of experience playing it. | ||

Zerg and Protoss units don't trade the same way as they do with Terran units, with the bunker and then tanks a little later. Then as long as the other 2 don't max out, they can outplay them. | ||

Since you can bunker up you have a chance to hold, then harass/secure a 2nd base. | ||

I admit that I could be wrong but it's kinda hard to tell since I dont play at either level and cant say for sure what they are capable off. | ||

I have switched from wc3 so i knew the basics of a rts game (micro/macro). I'm still not convinced that a Pro like Marineking/Idra/Grubby would stand a chance. The difference in units created between a gm and diamond within the first 5 min or so is marginal. Double the marine count that you have after 5min and tell me how long a wall will stand?  I say 0 chances. Any pro can prove me wrong (which wont happen I'm afraid) | ||

They went Marine/roach and were about platnum and a diamond. I watched that on stream and i think it depends a lot on the map and the position(in the game with Morrow they didn´nt know where he spawned). Let's assume that the 2 players the pro would face would be familiar with the term "scouting" | ||

But late late game, if the pro doesn't win until then, he will not win a 200 supply vs 400 supply battle. | ||

I played against two Silver Zergs and was able to have a bigger army than the two of them combined (both were massing ling/roach vs my pure stalker army) Masters vs anything gold and under will be a cakewalk. I don't know about Plat--but I do not think it is out of the question. | ||
