July and idra 6 pool almost always fails is the perfect example to this. The easy part is getting the pool done, the hard part is to win with it, and it isn't easy at all. You should go and try it for 20 games and you would be surprised how hard it is to win with it (assuming you are at higher league of cause) | ||

Most ladder players don't know how to defend cheese you are rarely put up against. And you can't fault them for that. Doing something stupid to nerf 6 pool all together would be bad for the game, you need crazy cheeses and stupid builds to keep it interesting. | ||

Its viable to go off mass marines for a looong time, same with mass zerglings. Zealots are just.. uhg. | ||

When I first made the switch I tried 6pooling a few times but noticed it nearly always got scouted and blocked, I think it's time to go through the replays and give it another go. Curious to see how you keep your pool unscouted, as from what I can tell this is what always led to my demise. | ||

To all the people who are discuss micro, I'm not sure that it's really that great. He says he's an exWC3pro, so everyone things he is some kind of micro master. If you have one build that you use against every race and get to practice the most difficult part once every 7 minutes or so, then you're bound to be good at one type of engagement. It looked to me like he knows some things about worker micro that most people don't know, so he wins games. Honestly, watching some of the ZvPs and ZvTs, I'm not sure what the pros could have done differently other than controlling the workers as well as OP does. To those who think OP might be MaDFroG, I'm pretty sure he's sTa Habit and he wasn't a very well known WC3 player. I generally don't react this way, but the BM and the lying really put me off. Best of luck in future endeavours! | ||
