Anyone who studies your play would have you ousted in a millisecond. I agree that your build is effective on ladder, but entirely ineffective in a competitive format. Gratz on GM though.... | ||

If know that cheese is coming even before it is comming you often can defend it. | ||

It's still kinda confusing that you try hard to execute perfectly a build, that's popular only due to the cute simplicity/efficiency ratio o_O. Pervert detected! :D | ||

How fucking odd is it that people will queue up for one game and then throw their hands in the air and stop playing because it is a 6 pool (poorly executed) that they lost to? Who are you people that get ready for a 1 game session on the ladder as if it were a momentous occasion? Just re-queue. | ||

Your timings are crisp, and it shows that a defender's timings must be equally as crisp, as it comes down to mere seconds every game. Thank you for also showing insight into the strategy's weaknesses, that was helpful also. I don't recommend posting any replays where you are BM in chat though. That goes against community standards and makes you look worse IMO than demonstrating how a single aggressive strategy (albeit considered cheesy) can effectively succeed on ladder. Please refrain from posting BM replays, and I suggest you reconsider the ones you have already posted. | ||

What do you do if you're playing a ZvZ vs someone who is doing the exact same build as you? Also, what do you do vs someone that is going 6 or 7 pool but leaving his drones to mine? | ||

What if he brought his drones as well and we meet somewhere on the map ? Just back off until he's almost in my main and then fight so that if it turns to a 1 drone vs 1 drone situation or sth like that my drone is closer to my hatch and will get back faster to mine? | ||

ezpz. Ill try to get it to GM (I had my own 2 masters accounts before this) It works i think if youre good. My friends did this and they are in gold/plat and they didnt do to well. I dont reccomend this to players that dont know how to macro first. Remeber macro first and cheese later. | ||

I see 6pool and other cheeses as dumb as hell to do unless your playing in a tournament and it's bo3/5/7 and you throw 1 cheesey game in there to mess with your opponant. But on the ladder, where people are trying to practice, it's a waste of everyones time involved. BUT,that is my personal view on it. I have no problem with people wanting to 6pool every game or do what ever you can for wins, because it's making me better by having to deal with these random cheesey situations. But I just don't think it's something anyone should practice unless your bming your friend who just started playing =P BM and cheeses imo slow the growth of this game. | ||

Good work man! i am impressed by your micro :D Couldn't have said it better myself! I've been decimating 6 pools for a few months now using that 'hold position' trick except with 'stop' as it does the same thing. Still going to go through this bit-by-bit and see what get what I can from it though! | ||

Could you pls elaborate on the 12 drone rush against terran though? I've faced some terrans who instantly pull about all their workers when my first 2 arrive when I try the 6 pool worker allin strat...... AND could you please provide a replay where you get your pool down at anything close to 37 seconds? It seems utterly impossible to me to get it down before 41-42 seconds depending on map. Even 39 seconds would sound really impressive.... | ||
