whoa.. that was excellent..
I just loved the smurfs Theme..
The thrash talking was great, that guy really had high
thoughts about himself..
YRM played a good game, even though he got attacked hard, the peon dancing were great, his peons is probably that good BCuz he lets them sing at work...
Another thing, I also want to see Mark4 kick that titans ass.. I´m sure he´s good, but not enough, damn him, talking like that to one of the Gods of BR.com... shame.
This BG color was a but weird, but it fitted the smurf theme, so Ok..
this was a 9+ |

I think the key to prevent being doubled is to have a probe roughly near the temple so that by the time you see stuff coming, you have time to shout HELP and your partner can come and help.
In all fairness, that Titan guy couldn't have stopped a double on his own (not if he is not Maynard). He can go cannon at choke but that is equally suicidal because that will leave his partner vulnerable if he turtles like that. In 2v2 game you must help each other out and to do so you must have good recon and nothing better than to have early peon warning to watch for early rush. |

| Twip should have pulled like a 6 marine 3 SCV cheese on Mark after he saw his partner getting doubled.. Just think how much it would own to see SCVs forcing their way up a ramp guarded by 2 zealots :-) |
| #12 Drefsab (rc44.Rmax1.globalsite.net)[16471] |

hehe, I was gonna go with black but that wouldn't have gone along with the smurf theme now would it?
Yup, I know the game was totally not even close, but I figured there was enough there to at least make it a halfway interesting read. :-) |
| #13 Drefsab (rc44.Rmax1.globalsite.net)[16472] |
|
| Oh yeah, and about the double rush thing, on a map like Temple where there is a choke, a shield battery and three zealots can hold off a zealot rush indefinitely (That goes for zerglings too). |

One distinction that I find important... I wasn't quoting a Bible verse. I leave that to the Bible. I was Mark 3.14 or Mark Pi. Not Mark 3:14. Otherwise, good report.
Oh, and FYI, I didn't lose many probes in the tank drop, just the nexus. I sent them all to my other expansion in the razed Protoss main. |
| #16 T_Mac (ts7-47t-1.idirect.com)[16483] |
|
| When twip countered the first time, he sent an scv. Why didnt he build a bunker? Did it die? If it did, he shoulda sent two ;) |
| #17 Twip (host136-014.scoca-k12.org)[16487] |
|
| When I attacked, I did intend to build a bunker in YRM's base but I forget why I didn't. Maybe I ended up canceling it? The thing is, Titan was all the way across the map and I couldn't save anything important in time, so I countered on the closest one to me. Besides, I never did get YRM back for that reaver drop in the FFA that Davy was whining about. |
| #18 Twip (host136-014.scoca-k12.org)[16489] |
|
| You also left out a couple things. After I got trapped onto an island, I dropped Mark4's natural cliff a few times. I killed some things! Sort of! Also after my drop on YRM, I sent a single Wraith that destroyed the burning pylon behind his minerals in that pic. :) |
| #19 Pitt (res6486.student.nd.edu)[16492] |
|
| Hannibal it's easy to stop a double, even triple rush with the aid of a ramp and some PEONS! If you don't know how it's done think of the concept of blocking your ramp and continually refreshing front line troops with new ones. it's tough but easily doable. I like it when i get doubled, because when I beat it off I feel AWEEEEEEESSOOOOMMMMEEEEEEEEEE! |
| #20 (relay.atinc.com)[16493] |

Pitt = Kicka__ Player...
Titan had 3 zealots perfectly positioned on his ramp, unfortunately, he didn't have them on "hold" position. I think Ioti was watching the game too, and he and Titan chastised Mark and I for our rushing ways.
I agree that a 6-8 zealot rush is hard to hold off (when you're toss), but it's easier to hold off than a zealot/marine rush, where hold position does no good. Titan and Twip could have done the following...
1 - posted scouts at our natural entrances to alert of a rush so that it could be reacted to
2 - Titan held postion on his zeals as more were produced so that we couldn't surround them.
3 - probes assist or use of shield battery
When Twip attacked me, I had a few zeals at home and basically delayed him until I could get one of my several cannons in. I had just patroled in my zealots at Titan so I could deal with the threat at home, then expanded to Titan's main so that I could afford to lose my own if need be rather than be tied up defending one income source.
All I have to do is survive and allow Mark4 to power... heh. Eventually, we were both able to mass troops, but he got there alot sooner. That's fine with me, since he's better at running people over than I am... |
| #21 AnderKryst (edjproxy1.edwardjones.com)[16498] |

Definition--Rush (personal)
1) A quick and sudden attack on enemy with early production troops (IE 6 zergling rush, 6 marine/6 SCV Rush)
2) A 'gay' strategy; to be used only if you lose to a rush (IE 'Rushing is soooo gay!')
3) Otherwise, a completely viable and legit (even the silly 4-pool!) strategy in any RTS game. |

| I think me and twip should play an all out low-down bash on my favorite map of all time "Twip's Personal Hell" |
| #23 shockwave (exchange1.sensable.com)[16508] |
|
| Yep, HOLD POSITION with your zealots makes them into a nice big wall across the choke. You'll still lose eventually if you're outnumbered, but at least it takes a lot more time for them to break through with a dual-zealot rush if they can only engage 1on1. |
| #24 Dev (reshall-138-179.oit.edu)[16509] |

Hey, I held off a double on Dark Temple from Mark and Shockwave with a ramp hatchery and six zerglings... (:
(and two sunkens and twelve more zerglings that hatched during the fight, but STILL!)

| Haha, I want my own pet mark4 ;-<.... As for the double rushing, your only hope would be to rush all your probes into the fight and assist the zealots, and while this takes intensive micro and is extremely difficult to pull off properly, it CAN work against lots of melee units, though its best used vs lings. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that ;-< |

The best part was that Titan tried to justify his failing to stop our attack by saying that he thought we were good and that good players don't do "gay rushes".
Someone asked us if we do that every time, and I said, "If we scout and see a weakness, yeah."
Then he went on to tell us how good he was on some obscure ladder season... that made my day. "I BEAT A GUY RANKED 37 ON THE LADDER!" |

This game was funny. Loti and Titan were both on me and YRM all game for double rushing. Why did we do that? Because I knew it was gonna work vrs someone who sucked. I was pretty sure Twip would hold it off. Not without taking damage, but he wouldn't die. Titan on the other hand...
I think people only deserve the repect they earn. If I'm going 1v1 with say Persian, Johnny, Whoop, I won't early rush because I know they can stop it. It will just cost me units that I can't afford to lose. But some random lamer? He gets run over unless he proves in the game he can stop it =]
I stayed polite for almost the first two minutes of trash talking. I swear! |

In 2 vs 2 games is there any other strategy then 2 vs 1? At some point in the game it eventually ends up being that way... that's what makes 2vs2 so much fun. There is a whole different strategy involved... I'm just surprised that Titan and Twip didn't do some initial rushing themselves.
In most of the 1vs1 games involving good players the games are over by the 15 minute mark and there has been some rushing involved. Either you deal with the rush or you die and should start looking at playing Pokemon games.
