Episode 1: Introduction to Competitive 2v2 with Axslav and Strifecro

http://tv.esl.eu/de/#/de/vod/view/23427



Hey guys,



Rotterdam and I have been talking a lot about things within the SC2 community that don't get enough coverage, and have decided that competitive/high-level 2v2 is one of the most underrated discusion points in the scene.



To remedy that, we'll be kicking off a new series at ESL TV: 2vTuesdays.



Every Tuesday (and sometimes on other days too) we will be talking to top level 2v2 teams, playing practice games against professional players, and debunking the myths and strategies surrounding 2v2 play at a high level.



We will be premiering the show Saturday night (lol) at 23:59 CET/ 6PM EST and will be kicking off the series with, arguably, the strongest 2v2 pair in the world: EG's Axslav and Strifecro.



Again, the first show will be:



November 5th at 23:59 CET, 6PM EST at



And we will be continuing the series on Tuesdays for the next couple of months.

Hopefully you guys can do a Mapmaking show as well as I'd love to have more and more custom 1v1 maps coming out more than one source! Writer @joonjoewong

After reading this part i stopped.....

You might as well pick some random 2v2 team on ladder.

Axlaw and Strifecro aren't even strongest 2v2 on NA server.

You should have gone with Catz and Drewbie (no 1 on NA)or go for broke... The fanatic 2v2 team (said to be the best) or empire's team (Aristeo + Kas)

Is Aristeo parterning with Kas full time? I just presumed Cubert was busy or something. Fnatic team did probably impress me the most when it came to synergy in the EGMC



Not too interested in 2s, but I'll tune in for Bitterdam <3 Is Aristeo parterning with Kas full time? I just presumed Cubert was busy or something.

Don't worry, we'll be talking to all the strong 2v2 teams around the community througout the life of the show. <3 Don't worry, we'll be talking to all the strong 2v2 teams around the community througout the life of the show. <3

Yes, but saying Axslav and Strifecro were the best 2v2 team, makes obvious that you ain't got a clue about what you're talking about, so you should either do some research before hosting a show or don't host it.

ladyumbra Profile Blog Joined August 2011 Canada 1686 Posts #14 I am so excited for this, 2v2 gets so little love and yet I think it can be far more entertaining and technical than 1v1 at the highest level. I also love that you can't just take 2 good players and have a 2v2 team that rules, July and Bomber are great players that during a recent showmatch made a terrible 2v2 team because they had no combined plan or unit synergy. I look forward to the inevitable Destiny + Minigun episode and hopefully one with the winners of PTSL season 2.

Map of the Month isn't gimmicky, it's helping Starcraft 2 in a fundamental way.



Maps are way underrated in balance discussions and supporting the mapmaking community to have good maps and map pools in the future is essential! I'm glad ESL realized that (as Blizzard, TL, NASL and IPL do now, too).

PR4Y Profile Joined November 2010 United States 260 Posts #18 I know there are already a lot of comments about the StrifeCro + AxSlav team "best in world"... but seriously LOL. I'd say ProTech and ANY of his 2v2 partners could easily wipe them.



Just because these people are pro 1v1 and spend a bit of time playing 2v2 doesn't make them top level 2v2 competetors... True top level 2v2 players are just that... top level 2v2 players. I believe Millenium or something signed a pro 2v2 team to their roster for solely 2v2 matches for tourneys like EGMC.





If you are going to be discussing world class 2v2, don't interview your run-of-the-mill 1v1 pro's that form a 2v2 team with a buddy... interview ACTUAL 2v2 pro's.... there are quite a few of them around.





This is a good idea, but it needs a bit of polishing in regards to who is being brought in to speak on behalf of the 2v2 community. I'm your average Brotoss brother, weilding my brommortal, brothership, brolossus, bro ray, broenix... BROTHERHOOD OF BROTOSS
