block generally means blocking for terran?

Who else knows what deep6 is? I never heard of that term.

The term in Korean that means newb starting with H is hujub.


Deep6 is going terran against protoss, and getting MM + ghost + a few tanks instead of Metal. It was used by a select few pro gamers in the past. It is extremely hard to do (300 APM +), and pretty easy to counter with protoss tech(40 APM -). It is called deep6 because when in midgame production you have 6 raxes pumping

That's not true.
Came from the Mandarin (Chinese) term "gao shou", which literally means "high hand". A gao shou is someone with a large amount of skill.



@ Thread:

DA - Dark Archon
SK Terran - M&M & Vessel
h - "help!" in ally games
doom drop - A mass drop which will do much damage. Often a Zerg thing, but probably also used in TvT I guess. And with Protoss too if they use recall?
stop lurker - Burrowed lurkers grouped with an overlord which are then put "on hold": they won't attack the enemy until you put them in "stop" or "attack" mode
cow or imbalisk - ultralisk
ball - usually a sizeable Terran army which is often tough to kill because of their firepower
d - defense

Man that website has a lot of bad stuff, but a lot of good stuff as well

Manner Pylon/Supply Depot/Creep Colony (pretty sure it hasn't been mentioned yet) = using a Pylon to trap a peon mining a mineral placed farther out than its adjacent minerals.
Doom Gateway = Double Manner Pylon with two Gate Zealot pump after the Pylons finish.

To add onto CustomXSpunjah's FD ...

FD is attacking with 3-5 Marines, 1 Vulture, 1 Tank to fool Protoss players into thinking that they went on a dual-Factory rush.

Don't forget "typing/tapping out."

Alternatively, just use the term "surrender."

we've heard like 10 terms for this kind of drop by now. To add another, I know it as an "elevator drop" or simply "elevator".
