Here is a video of me, just an average diamond league player, and my friends, easily thwarting this cheese attempt. When I posted on youtube I had a lot of people tell me how "impossible" it is to deal with, and how "overpowered" Zerg is.... This is proof that build only works on noobs... Agree, disagree? Thanks guys, | ||

But eventually there will be more than one 3v3 map. And it might be harder to block. Obviously if you can block a choke with cannons it's pretty easy to deal with a lingrush. 4v4 is way harder to block. as there are so many friggin' ramps on that map. Realistically though. 2v2 is already somewhat difficult to deal with 2player cheese I wouldn't expect 3v3 or 4v4 to get any better. The best thing would probably just to have an option for no rush 3 minutes or something like that. | ||

If both players are equal in terms of their ability in sc2 (I wont say skill cause its so vague in rts) then the 3v1 ling rush would definitely win. The only way I can see this counter is if you know for CERTAIN this is what they are doing and you spine up IN ur mineral line(before getting anything else). You'd prob need like 3-4 since its 3 ling rushes all at once. The thing is after this, they can expand and continue to macro while you guys are fcked. So basically.. your screwed either way. If you survive early game, you loose mid game/late game. | ||

I am not referring tot he video at all. I am talking about the topic, which as you clearly do not understand, "How to counter 3v3 zerg 7 pool rush". Simply because he posted a video does not mean we are limited to talk about the video he included. If you made a post about a Aston martin vs Ferrari and you included a video of Aston Martins are we not allowed to talk about ferraris? | ||

In 3v3 im part of a tpz team (me being the zerg), when there is a rush coming, be it 3x 7pool or just 7pool+2gate+proxyrax, I simply get 7-9 pool and get early gas for banelings. Banelings may take some investments, but mixed with my teammates rines/stalkers/lots/rauders are really devastating, cuz if they retreat we get some shots off, and when they stay... banelings will evaporate any t1 unit very quickly (as for the roach/rauder/stalker, my teammates units help  ). Watching 4 banelings kill off the whole enemy army is epic.It is amazing how strong banelings are in 3v3 and on the single 3v3 map can often easily take out an expansion as there are many routes. And banelings are also pretty decent against hydras, get +1 attack and 2 will kill a couple hydras! After blings I tech muta most of the time for easy scout purposes for my terran mate's tank, harass and enemy ground only units. | ||
