I absolutely love 2v2 pro games in tournaments where teams prep specific civs and strategies for specific maps.
It has all the beauty you get from watching pros play AOE, while somehow ending up messier and less stale than 1v1 meta IMO.
You get varied approaches from “both pressure feudal together” to “one player buy time while the other rushes fast castle for a knight rush” to even “one player goes crazy in feudal to allow other players to full boom safely…
to they point they can practically 1v2 later”
I never get tired of seeing Lyx Persian douche an opponent, and after taking out 1 TC, Persian douching the other opponent as well instead of even trying to reach feudal age.
Meanwhile Yo is hitting castle and spamming knights against opponents desperately trying to stabilize and play a semi normal game.
