Really sad to see how positive people are. In the good old days during BW, a post like this would be destroyed and everyone cheering would be flamed to crap. Fine, you got to grandmaster by cheesing, that's an interesting experiment. But everyone in this topic going "oh, I need to try that, Oh that's epic, Oh, that's so much fun, Oh I got BMed so much fun!", now that's just dumb. Cheesing is stupid and boring, it's not fun. I would say cheesing someone on the ladder is way worse than BM.

Pros have a reason to do it, they need to mix it up to not be predictable. But if you're just a random nobody, win your games straight instead.



..You've been here since august 2010. And who gives a shit what strats people do? 6 pools are viable, and shit like this keeps super greedy players in line, especially in boX tournament matches.


Well 6pool only has a chance vs protoss if they don't double scout and find you last + play greedy + have bad micro

Im glad this thread popped up, I never really knew how weak i was to a 6 pool until this thread popped up and everyone started 6 pooling me . But kind of a funny story the other day laddering i got 6 pooled 5 games back to back ... then i got another pvz saw my opponant wasnt 6 pooling me and i had totally forgotten what to do. So when the roach rush showed up i had nothing to defend it and was floating tons of minerals.

But thanks for exposing a vunerability that lead me to do a bunch of practice games vs a zerg friend. So now i feel i have a reasonable handle on 6 pools.

I'm in the bubblewrap league ... i just keep getting popped

bad habit i cant wait for your guide on how to do the 4drone harass against terran it seems like it can be pretty effective

im trying to test the best way to do it and heres what ive found

on pretty much all maps if you scout early you can send out the 4drones and start 4drone harassing pretty fast. most terrans try to make the rax at their ramp making it so tasty and awesome when you drone harass that sucker

the 4drones kill the scv making the rax so well and really mess up the terrans wall/rax, which means you can easily go 14pool and pump tons of lings to the terran and completely destroy him with endless waves of zerglings because he has no wall and you now have 10 larva a minute pumping tons of lings at the terran



ill try to perfect this idea myself and post my findings on the subject, but i believe the strategy can be very strong


my 4 drone haras hits right when he starts to build the depot (trying to get a cancel on it) not the rax

and i back it up with a macrointense style not a zergling allin because they easily can wallin again in that time but ur eco will always jump ahead, even if he only follows you arround with 5 worker it payed off ^_^
I only gg vs protoss when I'm winning

i struggle a bit on 4 players map to scout where opp is,

u have to scout 2 directions vs terrans.
doesnt make sense vs protoss and zergs because u really dont need to know to fast whre he is or block the choke

sorry for the late answer but i was banned : /

I've been using this guide called the Shokz Guide by a top 20 player called Random and it helped quite a bit. It's not free, but it has a pretty rockin' interface.


That guide is garbage. I see you're just plugging an affiliate link as well. GG

If anyone wants to purchase a real guide, get the GM Manual.

The most effective way has to be to send the ovie to the close by air position and the drone to the close by ground position, there's no way to get the information needed faster.

There's so much useful information you can extraxt from this thread (and I don't 6pool). The drone stacking vs an all in in ZvZ, the hold position micro, great stuff ^_^.

I have to say that its hilarious but following the advice in this thread on how to six pool has actually made me better at defending six pool...
