Simply said, a 2v2. Welcome…

Kefka carries the load…

SSD4. was advertising a 2v2 in nohunters, and thanks to the recent snow fall, I was bored out of my mind trapped inside my house. Eager to find ANY form of entertainment, I joined his game to find T.T.Boy waiting and [nD-2]Kefka arriving a second later. SSD4. announced the teams being him and T.T.Boy, and we started the game on lost temple…

The.Confessor AND [nD-2]Kefka

vs

SSD4. AND T.T.Boy

I found myself spawning 12:00 as terram with my partner landing protoss at 3:00.I immediately start to work mining and complaining about how bad we are going to be owned, until [nD-2]Kefka assures me we are not going to lose. Seeing as how we are the deadly toss/terran combo, we agree to rush one early, and both begin with conventional build orders. I start depot, barracks, barracks, depot, gas, with [nD-2]Kefka going pylon, gate, gate, gas. Our scouts find SSD4. at 6:00 as toss and T.T.Boy landing terran at 9:00. We decide on hitting SSD4. early, so once we have a force of 6 marines and 4 zealots, we head out to his base, arriving at his natural to find his own force of zealots headed out. They immediately head back to his ramp and engage our forces there. Our forces destroy the zealots he has guarding and head into his main as I spot T.T.Boy marine reinforcements on their way. As more zealots pop out of the gateways and take care if [nD-2]Kefka’s remaining zealots, I realize that there is no point on trying to kill the combined remaining forces, and as stim finishes researching, I focus fire on the probes, taking about 4 down with me before my marines die.

I go back to my base after a fairly successful first attack and am disappointed to find over 500 minerals in the bank. Grumbling at my lack of macro, I set down another rax, and e-bay and start a factory, while pumping marines and medics. [nD-2]Kefka has opted at this point to amass dragoons, and after scanning SSD4.’s ramp and seeing an impressive 2 zealots, we decide to move out again, my 12 marines and additional medics along with 8 goons from [nD-2]Kefka. We arrive at his natural and are surprised to find 6 cannons outside it, some zealots, a few marines from T.T.Boy and a newly warped nexus. The goons charge, my marines stim, and we overwhelm the defense force, taking out the nexus and moving into his main. This time I take care to macro back at my main, adding a machine shop and pumping more meds/marines. SSD4. desperately tries to fend us off and buy time for his partner to help him, setting up a row of cannons as we charge in. Meanwhile, I move out to intercept the forces T.T.Boy is sending to help, killing them thanks to the line dance his marines were engaged in. I scan T.T.Boy’s main and see he has not added a machine shop yet while I have 3 tanks ready to go.

We decide to press our advantage, and as [nD-2]Kefka’s dragoons hammer on SSD4., I take my tank and marine force and head over to pay T.T.Boy a visit, meeting yet another one of his squad of meds marines and vultures trying to save SSD4.. After disposing of them, I expand to my natural as I charge up his ramp, siege up and start hammering on his outer most factories. Meanwhile, in a final act of desperation, SSD4. charges with his probes, but did not take into account the K factor in the equation 1K probes < 12 goons. GGs are exchanged, and after a little talk, victory is ours. Thank you all for reading.
