Who's done this before - Hit Find Match, waited patiently, and then gotten into the game and realized they had no will to play? Usually your response is to pull off an aggressive opening, maybe 2rax, a 6pool, or a quick 4gate. But sometimes even that isn't enough. The mere thought of building up tech for 5 minutes before attacking seems like an insurmountable amount of boredom.

In that case, what is there to do but worker rush? Pull off 6 stalwart workers and send them across the map, while slowly pumping out workers 1 by 1 behind them to mine or join the fight.

This "strategy" is best suited for a two player map. A four player map can lead to you arriving at your opponents base to find 20 workers and a half dozen attacking units. But sometimes, even on Shakuras Plateau the need to worker rush can grab you.

Without further ado, here is my 6 probe PvT worker rush on cross position Shakuras where I lose my main base twice en route to rolling him over.

9 Pylon?

Genius.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Ya Endymion this seems so ingenious, I mean why didn't MC try this? I hope he does cause I think this will be the new standard build soon, once it gets popular at least! By the looks of things this might be overpowered should we call blizzard telling them to nerf probes?

Wow I have lost a lot of respect for Flash. Can't even get into masters and loses to a guy that fails a worker rush.

Ironically, that guys worker production was incredibly bad.

But lets say it was because the probe-rush put him off. :D

I've had someone do this to me... I don't understand how it could possible win. I easily held him off with like 4 probes to spare. All you need to do is A-move and pull back the weak ones.
