Starcraft 2 Tourney

[Hakulyte]

My whole account was based on getting achievements instead of caring about leagues but I just reached a point with season 2 where I can actually go for both..

I'm looking for 2v2/3v3/4v4 teams to spam cheese games and get master league in all of them and also getting team wins for achievements because apparently no one can block 2 zerg who constant 9-10pool harass while terran/protoss makes T1 units and comes back up.

I'm also looking for people with tons of free time who feel like making a FFA team to rack up wins to finish achievements.

If I finish those two things, I will have 5160pts which is the current max points online, so yeah, if you guys could back me up to finish this, it would be really nice..

I'm willing to team with you, so I'll pm you and add you.

I can 9/10 pool if necessary, since z is my second race, though I'm better with toss so it's easier to back you up while I chrono out a 4 gate or something in a 3v3 or 4v4. I have noticed this is pretty brutal. I was recently paired against a team that was favored/highly favored or whatever, and the two guys went random and got zerg on my team, 9 pooled while I 4 gated and there wasn't really anything they could do. They spent the entire time cleaning the ling mess and when I pulled up they insta left.

The only way to stop this would be mirror it, or scrap trying to wall and have everyone turtle their main and cannon/planetary/spine crawler up. They would still probably lose in the long run though, since you could just start double expo freely and timing push them.


I would like to master league these, so that I can concentrate on my 1v1. Not to mention I like the team portraits, so I want them, and cheesing is definitely the fastest way to go.

Wouldn't it be better to do something along the lines of 5 gate / speedlings @ 5 min mark?
Even in 3v3/4v4 I think it'd be pretty effective

Definitely worth trying in 2v2 but would need to be tested in 3v3/4v4. It's not like the current build was bad, it's working at like 95%+ of the time unless our timing is bad so, yeah..

This is very interesting. You can't support 5 gates normally, so I usually don't consider 10 gate into very very fast 5 gate with low econ.

I've been using a 4 gate build with a 12 gate, where my gates go up around ~27 food, 3 chronos on warpgate, which carries a much bigger econ for stalkers (also, 2 gas, which allows a lot of sentries).

I use this because it's surprisingly stable and isn't necessarily all-in.

This build, however, would definitely counter it and would be pretty deadly. It's very 'korean' 4 gate, which is much riskier than my build (fudged or denied proxies here could really hurt this build, whereas mine is largely unaffected), but because you have serious support from zerg this is probably way way better.

Going to test this out when I can

Given you're not going up against people who cheese consistently (other 2v2 cheesers) this build is indeed deadly, although it's pretty famous now.. My friends (not me!) hit Masters with this 2v2 tactic, and got some nice league achievements along the way

Most 2v2 people (unless teamed) will not have good organized defense by the 5 minute mark. And even if people decide to do some crazy cheese like 3 proxy rax, proxy gates (8gate, 8gate), or 6pool, you'll win like 75%+ of the time, which is darn good in my opinion.. The thing is, you have to be prepared to go into macro-mode if you wipe out one person and the other person has properly walled in.

Another unfortunate situation would be overlords being shot down by marines, which happens quite often if you're not careful with your overlord.. but this build has worked for my friends at least, so give it a shot

I'll be your cheese buddy in 4v4
