        I don't usually play with 3 complete strangers, because it always turns out that one is a newbie, and whether I get the newbie or not, it isn't a good battle.  But
nevertheless, I was somewhat optimistic.  Child~of~Death made 2 gateways and a forge at his choke, while I made a 2nd hatch at the second mining area with my 9th drone.  I made drones until 17 control, pool, and two sunkens for anti-rush.  I explored with my OL, while Child~of~Death made about 8/9 zealots, and started rampaging around, until he finally decided to attack Eleetlan0rz, who had been bunkering up, with supply block. 
I was confident that I could easily break through with mass hydras, which I was currently teching towards.

2 gate/forge build...I don't approve, but didn't say anything

buildings

        Foolishly sacrificing all his zealots for no use, Child~of~Death was totally open to Que_Pa_Longi's Simple zealot rush.  Hoping he could slow them down, I made 36 lings at one go (I was also pumping out hatcheries).  Unfortunately, Child~of~Death lost all hope of continuing to play, and ran into my town.  Most people would tell you to quit the game right there, but I was confident. 
The 36 lings would be wasted on 12 lots, so I attempted to attack
Que_Pa_Longi's
main, which was guarded by some zealots, and 2 cannons.  Too much for 36 lings, but bought me enough time to keep spawning hydras. 
Obviously

Que_Pa_Longi and Eleetlan0rz was planning to mass army rush me, which I would not stand for.


Blue gets attacked.  If you can't play starcraft right, don't play at all

        At about 48 hydras, I decided to go full speed towards Que_Pa_Longi's main.  minimal dragoon defence, which 12 hydras broke through. The rest had to deal with a large garrison of marines and zealots.  I rushed into his mining area, and destroyed what I could before the zealots caught up to me.  At this point, Child~of~Death has taken upon himself to build a small town in my corner, with 4 gateways. 
I warned him not to do so, since it would be nearly impossible for him to come up with 400 minerals in one go, but he ignored my warnings.

        Eleetlan0rz

came at me with some marines, but they were no match for my hydras.  I was looking pretty good, ready to take on anything, but if I were to leave the base, I would surely be destroyed....so I had to do something else, something unexpected.


        I rarely play 2v1, so I didn't know what to do....getting 60 hydras, I loaded them up into overlords, and decided to bring them to orange's main.  Strange enough, he has scouts all over the map, so he was well prepared....but not prepared enough. 
I dropped all 60 hydras, and was sucessful in destroying much of his town...but a lack of management due to Que_Pa_Longi's
attack of my own town costed my victory, and my hydra army.  This was getting horrible....

        I
loaded up an Overlord with 2 hydras and 4 drones, and set up a 4 hatchery-last-ditch attempt at living longer.  It didn't last very long, as you can see.



 

 

 

Lessons learned :

1) Never play a 2v2 if you have a newbie partner

2) a build which would keep you good on a 1v1 does shit when you are taking on 2 people

3) keep making men, regardless of what you are doing

4) don't forget about the 2nd person in a 2v2
