Great thread. I do wonder how does the OP handle repeated games against a same guy? I mean, if they know you will rush...
One tiny thing - the address of your replay vs Satiini is not hyperlinked.
How I appear to you is a reflection of you, not me.

Then he will obviously lose......He probably waits 2 min or so between games. Wouldn't make any other sense...Especially not at GM level.

i have some backup cheeses same as i throw in some dronerushes. its hard at gm specialy when u ladder at night. met tod 7 times in a row one night. -_- sometimes i went for an economical 7pool since its in the rules. i could write the strat down 2 and upload a replay if theres any interest. i think its a pretty cool strat and might be used quite often in the future because i often double the economy when my (for example toss) oponnent has 22 worker i have 44 (with cutting units completely after the 6 lings because i get into a position where he neither can allin me nor can he take his expantion in time.)
I only gg vs protoss when I'm winning

To few zergs know how to 6 pool properly :p
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

Pls can you elaborate on scouting timings in 12 drone rush and how to get pool down earlier? I cant get it done faster then 41 seconds on some maps with or without stacked mining

I've gone up to rank 34 masters been cheesing the hell out of anyone on Ladder with some of your Cheese Strats.

Seems to have a high success rate vs Protoss even if they scout it they don't know how to deal with it. I beat the same Protoss 3 times in a row on Ladder with it.

Beat a Few Terrans with it too but its extremely Risky. Sometimes they get the Wall off..... b4 u get there.

Edit: Oh yeah and u have to micro like a boss i have pretty good micro been winning more games then losing...!!! lol

WhiteRa won again. But it was very close in a few moments. The early pool was stopped with a nice probe micro

Okay, elephant in the room. Completely ignoring the content of the OP, I really have trouble with threads that contain 10+ lines of text with no line breaks and use horrible spelling (e.g., you = u, the = teh, before = b4, etc.) If you wanna be taken seriously, clean it up, please!

That aside, where's the romance gone!? There's something beautiful to grand strategy, there's an art to perfectly thought out and perfectly executed plays. Epic battles of wit and skill! It's why we play StarCraft II in the first place, after all, it's why I watch streams and tournaments all day, it's why there's a culture based solely on this one video game and its predecessor. There's nothing grand about 6 pooling into grandmaster; the only thing this thread makes me think is how terribly annoying cheese is, how frustrating it can be to want to play a real game, free from easy-to-execute, boring all-ins, and to be matched with a 6 pooler instead.

Let me clartify; I almost never lose to 6 pools. I'd estimate I've got about a 90% winrate against them. That doesn't mean 6 pool is bad, I'm just pretty good at dealing with it. But the point is, even when I win against a 6 pool, I'm not enjoying the game. I'm simply going through motions, executing some quick drone micro, and then the game ends. I didn't have to think at all, I didn't have to push myself to my limit to see my will overcome my opponent's; I had to stack drones on a far mineral patch, pull them back, and attack move for an instant surround and an all-too-easy win.

I miss the days of shunning cheesers... when did it become socially acceptable to make the game boring for other people?

._.


What a sad post. I suggest you go read the meaning of strategy. Will you deny that efficiency and victory are unrelated to strategy? Strategy is NOT prolonging the length of battle or building up for big engagements. Strategy is the means to victory and our friend here has done exactly that - mastered the art of war in his own funny little way - unlike most 6 poolers, he knows how to micro properly.

It's time people start seeing cheese as just part of the game. If it can be built or used, then it's valid, period.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST - The best players he played, such as white-ra and huk, took the losses without a care in the world. It's only semi-pro's like beastyqt that flame hardcore. That tells you something very important about the mindset of true pro's.
If you label every single aggressive strategy 'cheese', you are officially declaring yourself an incurable mental retard.

I've lost to quite a bit of these de-lovely strats, my favorite is the one on xel naga where u chrono out your zealot and wall off after scouting the 6-9 pool and then becuz of pathing issues ur zealot warps in behind ur wall even tho ur rallied to the front, hilariously theres absolutely nothing at all you can do about it, so yay i lose points to some douche but i know i will almost never encounter it in a tournament so i say my piece with the ****er and move on
