Oh man, I think they caught me...LOL

I seen 2v2s one in Master League (Season 1-3) , the other unranked. Me and my gifted friend would always be asking how the heck did these two met...

Best 2v2 team has at least 2 players who can meat to discuss their moves.
Live tactic meetings at school, work or local bar for instance.
One with two accounts is better than having random teammate. Or teammate who does not chat.
But chat is broken, so there is no substitute for talking over moves over one device (together).

You could agree to use another chat app. I know people that use iMessage, and I use Kik with my 2v2 partner. Just some suggestions for those that might be looking for an alternate form of communication!

all 3 of you are high level players so you all basically have the ability to make a great if not the best move. so reading moves would be likewise. i dont think theres any bad in this other than missing out on the fun discussing of the moves part. (which i love the most about in 2v2)

Talking and planning moves and strategies together enriches 2v2 game a lot to me.
But with random and arranged teammates around the globe not chatting (much) is challenging way to play. Sometimes frustrating ... but still fun.
Playing by yourself is ok by me - my point was that two (or more) discussing over the move and strategy is the strongest 2v2 team combination one can have.
