6 pooling is part of the game.
Meaning, it is a valid strategy.
It's your own fault for losing to 6 pool.
Give this guy some credit for making 6-7pool useful.
Doing same strategy over and over and over again can be very boring and frustrating, but he kept doing it to refine it.
Damn you zergs -___-

I guess its time for me to cheese every game with protoss

Further proving that Grandmaster means nothing.

User was warned for this post


Such a stupid ignorant point of view.

GM players are all really good. It just happens that Habit is better than them at one specific strategy that he spent a lot of time practicing and perfecting. That doesn't mean GM players are bad because they aren't experts in every single specialized area of the game... I'm sure if they all practiced against his 6pool they would rarely lose to it.

Whitera the MannerDragon...
You can put all the explanation you want in the OP about how complexe 6/7 pool is, it's still not as complexe and doesn't require as much skill as playing a game lasting over 8 minutes.

But developing and refining a build like OP did (on his own) does take a lot of skill. Most Starcraft players follow some sort of a guide or steal a build from a pro. Being an innovator is something people don't appreciate enough because execution is such a huge part of the game.

hehe since you can wall in with a pylon and a forge on ladder, i don't really see an issue with 6 pools on ladder. If someone looses to a 6 pool with ffe, they either were to greedy, or should learn more about how to ffe.
Even the ops 6 pool which is really well thought out is holdable with a huge advantage. And you need to know how to cheese, why not take the best build out their into your bo map.
It was actually fun to have a friend play it against me, now i feel 6 pool proof haha. But i learned ffe in bw the hard way, friend only saw a chance in winning by 6 pooling me >.<. And wallins are a bit harder in bw, well except of ramp blocks with probes.

i felt for quite a while that terran was my best mu with 6pooling. because i just completely break their normal timings.
arround 60-65% (what is a huge number, dont listen to threads like "hurghs 99% bo win vs terran with 3 motherships"
I only gg vs protoss when I'm winning

what do you do if zerg does fast pool like 8/10 pool? is it just auto loss, or do you still try to go for it?

what do you do against toss that doesn't wall off when going gate first but instead walls the choke where the zealot should be with probes?

I just leave the game if I see a 6 pool. Have my ladder points, they mean absolutely nothing anyway. I just want to enjoy playing the game.

yeah and internet i guess. on NA my pools come in general 3 seconds later than in europe,
when i really play my best (most of the time i dont really dronestack to the best) i usually get 38 or 39 seconds but 37 is definetly possible.

just tried if its still possible to ladder into master with this strats (didnt use them 100% but from time to time)

made 71-8 and account is in master now
