I have not read the 28 pages, so sorry if i repeat, but here are a few question to you habit:
1) You say that many of your loses are from people blind countering you. Which means that you are well above 50% winrate vs "normal" openings. Where with "normal" I mean according to todays metagame. Is this because
---a) people dont know how to react to it when it comes, or
---b) the current metagame has too greedy openings?


these strats are layed out to beat the standart strats from all races. not only the greedy openings.

also i would say that u need a ton of micro and not just the strat. u will get in many different situations and u always have to react perfectly because this strat is not very forgiving


I dont think you understood the question.
Let me try to reformulate:

If the pros start training how to execute these attacks, and also how to execute the defense, would it still have an above 50% winrate?

If it would, it would force a change in metagame towards more defensive builds that can defend this rush more than 50% of the times. (it would change the Nash equilibrium if you know game theory. ) That is, if people kept playing the same builds they do now, it would be enough to rush them every game and you would beat them.

If it is enough for the pros to learn how to execute the defense (from a normal build) properly, then nothing will change, apart from the pros having to put in some extra training.

it would still beat prober defense expect against protoss. (unless u mean blind 2nd deposit on 12) then for sure the defense would win more than the offense
I only gg vs protoss when I'm winning

no, the question was vs the usual build in the current meta-game. If you could beat even a blind counter then you would break the game completely and blizzard would have to change things, but I hope it's not that bad.

So then you say that this will change the ZvZ and ZvT metagame at high level, as most of todays openers lose to your builds (assuming both sides execute well)?

But you think that a zerg pro that learned to execute these rushed would win most games with it as long as the other players didn't adapt their openings? You should get some zerg pro (TLO? ) and teach him all the ins and outs. Even if other players started adapting their openers to the player, that would mean that the usual builds would be more viable, and you could do the rush less often (according to some Nash equilibrium again).

If what you say is accurate, the zergs are giving away the advantage of allowing macro-cheese from T and Z almost every game.

I love the ZvZ 7 pool, just owned some guy with it, that from the beginning was BM. (i glhf'ed he replied with "fuck you") Anyway i muted him right away, and after watching the replay I saw how he tried to BM afterwards ^^
I did some mistakes, but won anyway.

Here's the rep!

http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/replays.php?game=33&show=details&id=242174

Including insults such as "you will never win against me", "pls go play tetris noob" and "u suck" - while he saw himself losing.

EDIT: This was done in high masters by the way, so it is very possible to get to grandmaster by 6-7pooling, at least in ZvZ!

I have no idea what you are talking about (: But I know what I did wrong. It was the first (and probably only) time that I will do this.

Only good thing about your thread is now that it doesn't work on ladder anymore. You can't get past diamond with this set of tactics now because everybody is basically prepared. No protoss loses to 6 pool anymore even with forge first. They all put mineral pylon blind now.
