get over yourself bro, there hasn't been any random BM in a year and a half. Just because you watched the stream 1 time and got a bad taste in your mouth ( and I was probably dishing out BM justly ) doesn't mean the stream has always been littered with BM.

Does anyone take 1v1 seriously? Right, less than 2% of starcraft players take 1v1 seriously. Those are the people you see winning tournaments.

At the end of the day its about making money, the sad truth is, I make more money than most pro gamers.

2v2/10

I challenge thee

To crop thy pictures

everyone who is half decent at 1s could do what you do, they just choose not to

cool, i could make a minimum wage salary playing team games

or I could go for the money bitches and fame in 1s



really though, most people who play 1s seriously are there for bragging rights, bragging rights that aren't found in team games because no one with any amount of skill plays them

Wrong. Wrong, and wrong. You do realize in the BW scene there was 2v2 in pro league? Oh wait, you probably don't you're probably fresh new blood in the starcraft scene who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, and just feeds off the awful 1v1 community.

Put it this way bro people i've beaten in 1v1 on my stream:

Polt
CatZ
DDE
Ostojiy
ST_Rainbow
dTefel
^-- just to name a few.

Lots of barcodes that are obviously pro gamers.

I play 2v2 all day long, and have the ability to beat people like that? Bro I don't even 1v1. Lots of people seem to think 2v2 can't translate into 1v1 skill, but what they don't really seem to get is that in the top tiers of 2v2 it's exactly like playing 1v1 the same strategy applies in macro than it would in 1v1. The only difference is there isn't NEARLY as many mineral patches to take so you're on a timer, meaning you have to make your units count, and the game can't go on for an hour.

The point is, there's not a single person on jsp, and I'd venture to say there's less than 1% of sc2 players who would have the ability to play 2v2 with random allies, as random race, and go 55-0 <-- streak 58-1 ( current. )

And so before you talk shit, use your brain.

http://challonge.com/PTSL2 I provide unto thee, the most prolific 2v2 tournament ever to hit sc2. Knocking out the likes of a Code S team from FXO , Team EG, Minigun/Destiny. Most of you Top level 1v1 players would never of even had a smigen of a chance knocking out players of that caliber.

i dont know why you mentioned brood war. i dont think you understood my point... allow me to say it again.

"really though, most people who play 1s seriously are there for bragging rights, bragging rights that aren't found in team games because no one with any amount of skill plays them"

"because no one with any amount of skill plays them"

Like I said, any half decent 1v1 player could do what you do.

You should probably list more low tier pros (and polt) to prove otherwise though, it's not like any half decent 1v1er couldnt do the same. (between all ins, defending all ins and luck, anything's possible.)


as for your 2v2 challenge, I've had similar records 1s, 3s and 4s during level jobs but I have never and will never play solo 2s. There is little fun in playing on maps with 1 expansion for zergs and dealing with two people thinking they're good for cheesing via the same builds since 2010.

Not that I don't think I could do it, assuming I didn't get teammates who had to quit/lag out/AFK/fail a cannon rush

plat

also speaking of ST.Rainbow (lol)

Well, I'm still waiting for some 1v1 players to surpass me ( have yet to see it )

I don't play 1v1 bro, it's a bore fest, and I don't typically keep track of who I play, those are just big names i remember.

It's not cheese, it's standard play that you can't deal with because you don't know how to deal with it. There's tons of fun in winning at odds that are far below your favor. Arrange team is no skill bro, so 3s and 4s records don't matta. If you're playing AT you're just smashing RT newbies. In RT you're playing arrange team, with someone you never played with before, it's challenging and you said yourself you'll never play solo 2s because its too hard.

If I can do it, with partners who quit / lag out / afk / fail cannon rushes you my GM friend can do it too!
