Two gold level players talk to a 1400 diamond level player in the first thread.
They bet $100 that they can beat him in a 2 vs 1 matchup, best of 5.
The second link gives a livestream of the game with commentary.
Pretty epic.

Can't watch here at work, but 2v1, no one should be good enough to overcome those odds regardless of micro/macro skills considering a "mean" average for gold players compared to diamond players.
All the 2 need to do is work together, expand quickly, then build a diverse force. I'll be watching this later.
I have no idea what I'm watching
One of the commenter's has the exact idea:
"So what are you going to do against 2 6 pools, or 2 4 gates...Or just mass marine/marauder push after stim -_- I mean they could just cheese you and you would not have really anyway to stop it. I don't think you thought this one through bro."
Did you watch, zosa?
Where are the videos?
nah, i forgot. You know what happened? I'm assuming rape.
edit: judging from the final replies, the opposite actually occurred. Dude won a best of 5 2v1 - something I thought nigh impossible. Surely a team could adjust to out-macro a guy over 5 games, right?
Wrong, apparently.
Basically what happened is they won the first game, then afterward he turtled quite a bit, they attacked, he defended then expanded to 2 base, turtled some more, they attacked and he defended and built up his force at the same time. They threw away a LOT of units (4 banelings to kill 1 marauder at times), and he continually harassed them with really good micro so that end game he had more econ than both of them put together.
