This was my first time matchmaking 2v2, playing with garret, running forge arbi on beasleys plataue, and i was playing on a 18 inch tv. VS Kihz and Swatmerk who together have a combined game count of 10,000+ in 2v2, compete in tourni’s, claim to be the best 2v2 “cutter” and went ultra try-hard on remakes just for 2v2.
The game was actually really simple from the start, it was all about “set-up” n “delivery”. Every time we set a trap, they took the bate. First since they 2x hogs and could of easily taken the building spots, i had garrets ghost damage thier hogs so a ram would kill them. Then I sent my 3 gunnerless hogs to thier side of the base and manage to ram 2 to death. I lost 2 but had 2 left when i got gunner. More then killing thier hogs it caused them to run back to thier side then around the map, given us time to take out on map building spots with ease. The tried kill the on map pads after with the left over hogs +building the on map turret but failed and just spent alot of money on it. Since we where able to get the anders on map building hooks, we had the lead. The arbi went banshees and harassed the anders forcing her to build wolves (which we wanted to get the tank lead) and then sent his arbi over to defend my 2 on map pads next to the anders. This was really inportant because it forced them to use a d-bomb and bring all thier early units to defend the anders base. When i saw all of kihz units went to support swat merk, I hit his base with my 3 first tanks. He only had 4 supply pads and 1 VD with no on map building hooks. Since his and ander tanks had to come back all the way to other side to defend kihz base now I had time to destroy his 3 upgraded pads and vd. He was left with 1 pad and his vd building before his army came back and defeated my 3 tanks (the only tanks the killed all game). While I was attacking with the 1st 3 tanks I kept 2x pumping and clearing the expos on our side. So my arbi was able to get 400 crates mid game and i had an expo way before them. They then tried to hit the arbis base but he had a shield they used a dbomb right when the arbi retreated. But I managed to severly out micro them and i killed both their tank armies without losing a unit. With 6 canni tanks I killed 8 cani tanks without losing a single unit They then resigned when they saw i had PT shortly after.
I just think its funny that Kihz calls himself the 1# Cutter and proclaims he better then me in 2’s then loses this badly. After the game he claimed “leader screw” but we won that game due to tactics, deception, timing, micro and teamwork. None of those can be developed with grinding 10,000 games also none of things require any amount of games to develop, its called natural talent. This kinda proves the arguement that natural talent will always beat out grinded skill. I mean they counldnt even kill 1 of my cani tanks with 2 armies of cani.
