I love how you questions his pride and honor over a computer game. And since when is a certain play style/strategy BM? The whole point of the game is to win, he perfected a strategy to give him easy consistent wins. You need to separate the strategy from the chat. His chat was BM, not his strategy. | ||

Cheese, is actually just abuse due to the fact that the opponent went so greedy in the beginning! We need cheese, for otherwise people will simply always open 15 hatch/cc-nexus first, and win by simple economy.advantage... So boring! Cheese is just punishing a careless or too bold player. Good job on the guide! Keep it up! | ||

At least the content is somewhat entertaining, if not infuriating to some. Yeah, you're right. Everyone in the whole world should know english fluently... Re: the OP. It's amazing to see that a strat seen as a complete coin toss can be elevated to a high level. It's cheese, but at such a refined level it's scary. I think this has to be put in with the worker rushing blog in that it is a demonstration of what people can accomplish when working incredibly hard at something. | ||

Great thread, love all the rage. Especially Umi's posts. If you can hold the 6pool as well as you claim, keep laddering and take the free wins. They're 3 minute games anyway, and not even a large minority of Zergs are following this guide and attempting to 6pool to GM. The vast majority of TL readers know that 6pooling may get you to GM, but it won't make you a better player. The feat itself just proves what anyone worth listening to already knew. Ladder isn't a true measure of skill, it's only a convenient way to practice. | ||

It's a valid strategy which involves a lot of micro. You have to know how to deal with everything in this game so I'm fine with it. | ||

He could have floated his buildings to check and know for sure if he needed to quit. Of course that's a 1 in 1000 games situation, so it's easy to say what can be done in hindsight. | ||

I'd also appreciate if you looked at this replay and tell me what i did right and wrong. I went hatch first, he went 6 pool, and I won. He didn't make a spine, but it seems like he did your variation of 6 pool. I also think he was kind of dumb, and I think I didn't handle it perfectly correctly, so it was closer than it should have been. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-241114.jpg) | ||
