Pretty pointless to worker rush in 1v1. Insta loss imo

It's been done by some. Certainly possible, just not that probable.

I think cheese can be fun and it has it's place, but what's the point of this? Seems a little extreme to want to win that fast. Even if you could figure out how to make it work what fun would it be? Sure you'd win a few games, but you'd never really play the game.

On occasion I watch (IIRC) TTOne's stream, and I have seen him do this several times to great effect PvT on Steppes of War.

It wouldn't be something to do all the time. Just something to do once and a while to throw someone completely off their rocker.

I mean, how well are you going to play in a second game if you just lost your first one to a worker rush? There's gotta be some psychological impact there.

Given how slidey workers are, I wouldn't even bother...

Really? How so? This definitely would not work versus the Terran SCV 100%, and it would definitely would not work versus another Protoss Probe since they will always have more probe than you do. Not sure about versus Zerg Drone though.

zerg drones heal mega fast on creep so defensively they're probably strong enough to keep up with scvs or probes

Okay, it will not work vs Protoss.

But against Z or T, you could kill all their workers? In any case, they cannot mine or build since that would require them to stay still. You can eventually kill them all, or kill his CC before he can get yours, because you are already in position.

I might be wrong though.

Question: is it true Zerg heals faster on creep? Edit: after some searching, I am almost positive they do not. Can't see for myself though, uninstalled

Moving injured probes to recover shields sounds like a doable strategy if your micro is good enough.
Doesn't sound 100% impossible. You should really get your facts right.

It would work against Z too because shield recovery is much stronger than Z HP recovery

I'm quite certain it is not true. Common misconception.

Remember, SCVs can repair themselves.

So if you rush with the initial 6 SCVs, you have 50 minerals worth of repairing (how much HP does that equal?). On super close rush distance maps, this MIGHT work TvP

well I play random because I get bored if I play the same race over and over. But once I got protoss like 8 times in a row, so I got bored and probe rushed the terran. It was a placement match, so it was pretty easy because the shields recharge.

Blood Bath?

I wish I was into SC when they used that map... have only seen VODs


They used to use blood bath in competition? Holy shit... I can only imagine.

It works alright in ZvT because they have to wall off (thus their SCVs are more vulnerable). I have done it a few times on Blistering Sands by taking 4 drones at 10 supply and killing their building SCV or their supply depot. If you can prevent them building long enough then you can get a spawning pool up before they have a wall and/or marines, and so you just follow up with 6+ zerglings.

It's not a particularly reliable strategy though. More funny than anything.

I've done it with a friend in 2 v 2, took out zerg players workers in twilight fortress then moved onto terran. he only managed to get a marines out before we got to him, and 12 probes > 7 scvs and a marine. Victory
