"Because in a 2rax the first rine is ready when the 6 zerglings hit your base... and I didn't have the opportunity of seeing it coming"
What do you mean you didn't have the opportunity???
You had the opportunity, and you missed it. It's called scouting. If you don't scout him quickly enough, send a second scout or assume he is 4-9 pooling and pull some scv's just in case.
If you are going to commit to a crazy build like 8 rax in the middle of the map, don't cry when a cautious zerg beats you.
If you had ever been to higher ranks you'd slap yourself at complaining about the 30 second window where you couldn't find a game.
Just keep checking the join list, and ctrl+v "D/D+ you make msg me" into the channel every now and then, you will most certainly find a game very quickly.
People from all over the world play on iccup, don't expect people to speak English, and because you are playing SCBW, don't be surprised when they are Korean...lol
Some fucking noobs made it melee?
How about refine the join list to "one on one", or how about actually paying attention when you join the game to check there is only 2 slots or that it says "Game type One on One"
People are allowed to host melee games, it's not a crime... not everyone plays for points people even UMS on iccup so why they should be deemed "fucking noobs" just because they are not creating the type of game you want and you are too fucking stupid to even notice?
The sad fact is, whether you realise it or not: you don't hate iccup, you hate yourself.

I almost always 9 pool vs Ts nowadays because I was sick of getting cheesed 75% of the time.

he says he doesnt ge the opportunity because...
python. terran at 6
zerg at 9.
terran sends scv to 3, zerg drone scouts instead of ovie scout. byt the time your scv finish checking every base, the lings are already at terran base.

And that is why you should either build your first depot in the top left corner of your main or just send an SCV up at the right time so you know whether or not the zerg is there.

Fantasy did a 8 rax on RoTk and Jaedong went 9 pool and Fantasy defended perfectly.

i think you could've been harsher.

If you really lost to 9pool when you went 2rax you did something terribly wrong. Do you know how to defend your choke and scout properly? You should be able to hold off 5 pools as terran relatively easy as long as you play safe.

hahaha amazing blog
I finally mix it up and go for a 2 rax sunk break, and he kills me with a stupid 9 pool. PURE BO win right there...
oh wait you can rape 9 pool so easy its not even funny rofl

This is correct when your opponent 5-pools. You should have more than 1 marine against a 9-pool.

Xinran needs to check his timings me thinks (although admittedly its confusing due to map distance)
And hilarious blog...It's nice to see Terrans rage at TvZ (which is like the easiest MU in the game btw)

If you play safe, you can't really lose against this shit

protip: don't join games on iccup, host them. if you can't host, either lrn2networking or stop whining. there are many many more people wanting to join games than host them, so you never have to wait more than a few seconds for someone to join your game. and then you can pick gametype and even map however you like, and ban people you don't like the look of. seriously, there is no downside other than having to learn how to setup your router.

That, and if he has that low marine count with a 2rax opening I can only wonder what his 1rax FE opening would look like. Probably still complaining about lings when the Z goes for a 12hatch haha.
Your BO, reaction time, and micro must be off if you had trouble with a 9pool when you did a 2rax.

Scout the closest base first, its the one that would hurt the most if not scouted.
Also, if you hate iccup then don't play on it. WOW, THAT WAS HARD TO FIGURE OUT!

Not only that, but if Terran at 6 scouts 3, he finds nothing but sees the ovie from the zerg scout him right away so he instantly should send his scouting SCV to 9, which should let you see pool before ovie builds in time to block your ramp. Zergs send their ovies between 9 and 6(and vice versa), and 12 and 3(and vice versa), so you should see his ovie right away and scout it in time to block your ramp.

nah, thats why you don't do 8rax cheeses. they're very risky
its not like he could have scouted earlier, because terran usually scout after the zerg's pool is going down. since zerg makes drones faster than any other race, and the pool goes down at 9, then there is no way to block it with a 8rax cheese going up.
