hahaha right :D

anyway would have been kind of funny if it wasnt for the bm every game (even if your opponent doesnt bm) so i stopped watching after 3-4 replays, just too embarassing



same here, the bming was a bit too repetitive and embarasing

well gz on beeing able to reach top while beeing [insert bad word].

does this really deserve a threat for attentionwhoring tho ?
or is this supposed to be a guide ?


guess those who fail at everything else might feel inspired and try to "incorporate" that "strategie" in their play.

anyone else feels dumber after reading this :D ?

Yea, I like that you have refined 6 pooling, I do think some of these replays are valuable and show that maybe some openings aren't as solid as people might think. However the really classless BM you insert into every game, and the attention whoring (asking/hoping players are streaming so you can get more attention) makes me dislike this entire thread. Your build does have counters, most of the replays you're just getting lucky from good players doing their openings a little bit sloppy. Furthermore most of these replays don't really showcase any micro at all, except the fact that you benefit from the fact that retreating drones and lings in the same hot-key has great synergy ( drones move slower, so they always tank for the lings once you stop to re-engage ). This whole thing could have been done so much better by yourself, and you would have gotten a lot of notoriety for doing something kinda cool( I think it's a really cool idea), instead you're just showing how much of a classless player you are in you're desperation for attention.

Please stop BM'ing people when you're winning, for your own sake. It really makes you look bad, in reality you're just fishing for pro players to BM you back because you're desperate for attention and it shows.
Don't argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

What would be a much better achievement is learning proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Reading your tips is embarrassing.

ok so you made the discovery that 6pool can win you games - and now?

what you gonna do with it? you are now stuck in high masters/eventually gm with actually no and experience in macro games, will that win you tournaments? no. will that win you anything? no. so what is it for - just to troll pros? win the bet against your friends?


what if he doens't care about that.

Wow. Say what you will about this guy, but that worker micro is pretty damn impressive, and he's clearly put a lot of thought into this. I'm impressed, though admittedly less than happy about the BM.

I don't see what players get out of cheese. I can understand why you would do it in tourney play. But not on ladder. What do you learn from this? When I first started playing SC2, I cheesed like my first 20 games lol..... then found it was the most boring thing one can do in this game wether if you win or lose.

Looking at your BM, I feel you just get kicks out of winning cheap games off classy players. Honestly, how the hell can you 6 pool to masters!?!?! Like yeah, of course you have shown it's possible, but god damn I'd be so bored of doing that build for a whole day.

The 11 overpool build is supposed to be very defensible against early pool builds. Have you been able to beat this build with your 7 pool or is it too difficult?

Been there, done that, made a post about it couple months ago.

Some guy already did an experiment 6 pool only on ladder to GM and made a TL post about it. Eventually he disappeared and now we have someone else doing the same exact thing, same experiment, same post.

But this has an interesting worker micro trick thrown in to boot which I feel will add a lot to early worker defense and attacks alike.

I tried this and went 3-2 (vs 3x zergs 1x toss and 1x terran, the two losses were vs. Z and were both close by air) in plat on my alt acct lol... the bm you get is actually pretty hilarious.


Also something to take into consideration is these games are superrr quick... I played the 5 games in less than a half hour...

Yeah that's great. Not saying he can't open a new thread, I was just taking a jab at the OP because he thinks he's hot shit when there are tons of "GET GM WITH 3rax/6pool/4gate GUIDE" floating around TL.

The link between personality and strategy is strong with this one.

Someone should seriously explore this relationship, cause I can very very often tell from things people write in game, even at the start, how they will most likely play. Things like cheeses, very risky plays, or micro-intensive builds surprisingly often happen after the opponent is either really talkative or just mad for no reason.
