For me there were two methods.
Method 1: 5v3c battle with a friend planted as a random person in the game. I would immediately open with a lurker rush into a teammates base, chosen based on their defenses at the time, effectively eliminating him from the game in the first 5 or so minutes.
The other three would obviously unally me, except for my" plant" which would inform me secretly about what the other two are doing. I would mass hydras and defilers for assault, and defilers and lurkers as defense. 12 hydras with defilers as support would guard against any air assault.
Once the three massed for the assault against me, my "planted teammate" would switch alliances at the last second during the assault, and we would effectively trap the other two in the crossfire, eliminating their assault forces, allowing me to drop my main attack forces into one base, and allowing my teammate to take out the other player, OR if one of the "enemy" was zerg, I would nydus underneath their OL's, since everyone ALWAYS groups them together above their creep like morons. lol

Method 2: was a 3v5c game in which I alone would take out my 2 teammates, usually in the end game, while mopping up the last computers. I would take out whichever teammate was closest with a lurker/hydra drop, OR I would always go for the nydus drop onto a zerg player to eliminate them easily.
Again, always with a massed hydra/defiler assault force, with hydras, lurkers, and defilers for defense. Worked probably 95% of the time.
The most fun was always had when the teammate who was not taken by surprise actually puts up a really good fight.

edit: I have no F-ing idea how battle.net works now these days, but Jaxm, character code 551 is the character name I currently use on SC2, and me real id name is Lawrence Rosdobutko, so whoever wants to add me up, be my guest.
