Jesus, how in the fuck am I supposed to deny Terran wall? I try everything and my timings are right, but he just sends 2 SCVs to kill my drone and walls in, and once the wall is done I'm just fucked.

Only gold so far with this but it works 90% against Protoss/Zerg, but like 10% against Terran.

i mean...thats great but are you expecting people to think its cool that you rage vs. 6 pool? and btw you can run into a 6 pool in tournament play. just ask Moon about that, or Idra, or many others..

Then you're doing it wrong...
You build a second gateway (rather early, so it has enough HP) and a pylon (rather late). You cancel the pylon when your zealot pops out and now you have a 2x gateway 1x zealot wall.

against 9+ pool, you can also build a forge and build a canon and the canon should finish in time to save the gateway from going down...

just watch what the pros do, if what you do doesn't work, it's really not that hard. You lose against it once, you go to a forum... you have just become cheeseproof! (if you don't open greedy); if you're still losing, you have to work on your mechanics!

It always takes the game further ahead when someone tries to perfect a single strategy. If this should lead to everyone doing it at ladder and succeeding with it (like korean 4gating with the 40second wg research in beta), then blizzard will patch it. Noone wants 6 pool do become a viable standard strategy, so its nice there is some more discussion about the strengts and weaknesses now.

your bm sadly turns all this around and i cant like you anymore

Do you ever feel like you've wasted your time by using a repetitive, boring strat that a trained monkey could do only so you can get high on ladder which nobody cares about and now you cant play ladder anymore because your MMR is much better than it should be? Just curious.

Edit: I dont mean to insult I just dunno if emulating you is a good idea for the new players in this thread.

I just watched some of the replays and I hope this thread gets closed and the OP won't get any attention anymore.

1. He lies about his Wc3 background. He never was a former proplayer but a manager for some smaller teams. He tries to take credit for something that is not true.

2. He is highly unfriendly in his games, often talks bullshit, offends the opponent etc.

3. His playstyle is purely based on rolling the dice. Every build he does can easily be countered and there are a lot of "build order losses" with his builds. From what I have seen ( 6-7 games ), his micro is not very good. SO WHY THE HELL GIVE THIS GUY CREDIT?

http://www.esl.eu/eu/player/2504007/
Look at his former sc2 amateur series skills: 3-11 against mostly bad amateur players. ( +1 default win )

There is no way for me to NOT call this guy pathetic. Somebody who 6/7 pools for several months is not worth a thread or attention. Especially if he is such a unworthy person.

Wow... what is your problem, seriously?

He made a thread about 6-7 pooling, saying that perfectly executed it could put you in GM. And he is right.

He is really good at it, and teach peoples how to do it. For god sake, because of it, you can even be better at defending 6 pooling by reading this post.

He is not a pro-player, so what is your problem, really? He likes 6 pooling and teach peoples how to execute/defend them well. Should you six pool every games just because someone got into GM because of it? No. Is it a nice thing to know how to execute well/defend well to throw at your opponent to surprise him? Yes.

Why giving him credits? Not because he is the best players out there or even a pro players, but because he took the time to make quite a good tutorial about it, to help people understanding it as much as he does, instead of just keeping all this for himself.

And why on earth should we care about is WC3 background? We are on SC2 community websites, not WC3.

So...we should hate him and close is thread (a good nicely done one) because you hate six pool and because he raged in a couple of games?

I'm sure that you are raging a lot too in game, since you are even raging at a guy on TL forum for... quite not much. So you should understand that, don't you?

Grow up...

Pure dronerushing looks odd to me. You lose time traveling and mining time. A protoss can just skip any gate or forge and mass probes untill he has critical advantage while dodging battles especially in narrow places like between nexus and minerals. Drones are only like 5 hp better than probes, not big deal really. This is the equivalent of having 6,32% more workers in battle.

Wait, does this micro hold position trick work for normal units?

Edit: it doesnt. Basicly the unit priority is the same for combat units which are attacking. The order which they are carrying out (attack move, hold position or just standing and shooting at whatever comes close) is irrelevant. I made a test with probes and... they dont attack other probes at all when issued a hold position command even if the other probes attack them. It looks like hold position on probes works just like stop command + they dont move. I dont understand how offensive hold position can possibly work.

Edit2: I also ran some tests on probes vs drones. 15 probes beat 14 drones in open space (no micro, just a-move) with 3-6 probes staying alive. 14 probes vs 14 drones the result is vice versa: 3-5 drones stay alive. You can see how 1 additional probe makes huge difference.

P.S. can we please have no more of those useless posts saying how much people dislike cheese and cheesers?

I would have be more pleased as others if the op wasn't pushing the bm. Responding to bm is one thing but provoking is another.
