Zerg players should definitely blindly open fast fast pool in ZvP.

As a toss player I think this is always a great choice given 95% of current builds all open with FFE, and 6 pooling will put you on even grounds or sometimes you can win the game.

Fear not, it is happening. Hopefully someone out there will find a catch-all to preventing and beating zerg cheese. I get cheesed pretty much every time vs zerg. They are making the same mistake that I did, though. I 4 gated to masters, and now I cant beat anyone because they can beat it effortlessly. Poor me, but the people that only cheese will end up the same way.

I actually hope that blizzard gets so many complaints that they make a balance patch for the spawning pool or zerglings lol.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've tried the Protoss and the Zerg versions in ladder and have been impressed with the results. I'm a high platinum 1v1 player. I wonder how long it'll be before I start playing against people who can counter this.
The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour.

I've been trying some of these strats, but I fail in executing them sometimes. I need more replays vs Protoss and Terran .
I'm all creeped out

How do you react if they a-move 5 of their workers onto you?

Excellent thread, good read. I'm usually pretty immune to early pools as I like to get a fast 2nd depot to wall-in for scout denial/defense, so the more people do this the better my win-loss will look I guess.

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!


500p really isnt high masters...

Thanks for the micro tips the more regularly people can beat cheese, the faster the overall quality of ladder players will increase <3

As a protoss player I wanna thank the person who created this topic for getting me free wins half the time against Zerg lol. So many players 6 pool now its pretty much an auto win every time for me.

Great thread Mister, putting the 6 pool to that level isn't nothing and unlike many people think, it's not easy to do it well. Great job, really; feeling Im gonna try a bit with a smurf one day.
