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.

I think a more fair game is a pro vs 2 diamonds in a game of macromicro

With good unit and worker micro they can actually hold you off. 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.

Why not? Just wall off. -.-

The only real chance of a 1vs2 has to be with a Terran I think. 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.

I'm pretty sure a terran can easily win against diamonds and maybe low masters.
Since you can bunker up you have a chance to hold, then harass/secure a 2nd base.

It's actually extremely easy to stop a 2 6 pool as T, even without wall.

Build a supply / rex right next to CC in proper placement would form a natural bunker for marine.

Are you gold or silver? 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 vaguely remember savior beating several amateur players (in korea though, so still pretty good) in brood war. Not sure how well it would go in sc2 though

gold+gold no rush vs masters, perhaps.

Back when i was active, I was platinium. 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)

Back in good(well i am terran so that were good times^^) old times Morrow - who played terran decades ago - won a 2v1 with massreapers and outmacroed a terran + zerg. 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"

It depends on how good the non-pro players are obviously. I'd say a pro could beat two plats or below.

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

I'm a pretty high master terran and I crushed two of my mid gold friends 1v2. (They were PZ if that matters).

Well it´s not that hard for 2 Plat+ players to make a bunch of blink stalkers and blink into the main at 7 minute.

I am Platinum main race Terran.

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.
