Not true. HuK has held a double worker rush vs two master's league players. I think it was on TL Attack. | ||

EDIT - The games I played were TvZ where I went reactor hellion and isolated one of them while going cloak banshee and sending it to the other and CC'ing in base. Other was a PvZ where I just forge FE'd with 3 blind cannons then macro'd up a deathball and just pushed, because their macro is no where near good enough even combined it is hardly what a real Z could macro by himself. | ||

This forum-member called CheAse, he was high diamond at the time (I don't think masters league was invented yet, w/e) and he was challenged by 2 of his classmates who were both in gold-league (in 2v2). There was a $100 bet on the line, the thread/hype amounted to 100+ pages and the games were even live-casted by several casters. So 1 high-diamond (prob a high masters now) vs 2 gold-leaguers and it was a bo5 (or bo7 lol). And CheAse won by a score of 3-1 I think. He lost the first game b/c he tried to macro up but the 2 gold-leaguers just all-inned him. But afterwards, CheAse went for harass as well and that really threw the scrubs off their game and he managed to win the series. But the 2 guys he faced were BAD, like, one of the dudes built-a-PF-at-their-main-BAD. edit: found the thread of the "grudgematch" http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=157860 Torch (Currently of Startale) did something similar with his two (actually it could have been three) room mates who hadn't played the game very much and Torch beat them. That was during the beta though. | ||

If you reached reactor hellion and that lead to a win, you know that the opponents weren't even trying lol | ||

Masters in 2v2 does not equal masters in 1v1. Hell, I know people in 1v1 bronze and in teamleagues they'd be platinum/diamond. | ||

We usually won. In SC2, its a lot easier to just make colossi and win, or to worker rush and win; so, for example, I think 2 golds could take down a diamond. | ||

tl;dr The skill gap has to be really big for a 1v2 to be even, as some builds becomes exponentially more powerful in a 2v1 situation, regardless of skill level. | ||

It'd be a fun thing to stream a bo5 or bo7 of this just to see how it actually plays out. Doing it with Zerg is infinitely harder than P/T. Terran is far and away the best race for 1v2s because of drops, wall-off, mass-repair bunkers, and the ability to make an in-base CC. | ||
