I am aware of it. I was tired of 1v1 and wanted to get my mmr down to bronze so i could have fun again. my comp cant handle late game. It lags too much but 18-20 I still moved up 20 ranks in ladder and got pitted against higher level people. high diamond and low masters. I just wanted to share my fun I had thanks to your build.

Just met this guy on EU server... And get ass kicked by a 7 pool.

Sad to see that I dont know how to face it anymore, because it's very uncommon at top master / GM level.

Take care, he is still active :D

I think doing the same thing over and over again get really boring... I don't know how someone is capable of only doing this cheese. Even if I agree that its fun every once in a while.

It's all really the same thing in this game when you get down to it. Just like with a game where you always go 3 base, going 6/7/8 pool can go in many different ways. the game is just as diverse when 6 pooling as anywhere else... and i'm sure he's capable of doing more than just early pool. only a gm can get go gm with 6 pool, there's a reason he's ranked that high. no one else could reach gm with 6 pool, unless they were actually good.

you can learn to easily stop it here though.

last I played him some in custom games where he tried to play "standard", he seemed mid-master at best, at least in ZvP.

^ im sure he's horrible at macro game, but he's no diamond and when it comes to 6 pooling he's very good. hes probably as practiced at it as any gm is at whatever they practice.

I'm kind of ashamed that a guide based on stopping 6 pool is helping me as a mid masters player but thanks anyway lol

wow really? =O

(did you get there with mainly cheese, or "normal" aka a variety of builds and/or just 1 "standard" build? talking about openings only here)

You shouldn't care about others flaming you. They are haters and haters gonna hate when they're pwned by 6 pools and get angry. This is a perfectly legit strat and worthy of GM.

All strats are viable in sc2. It's up to the player to choose which ones you want to perfect and use. This strat I don't really like at all.
If you 6 pool, or for that matter cannon rush your way to GM it doesn't really mean much IMO... I'm sure you can get to GM with viable cheeses, espeically if you practice them. Just like if I practice 1 rax FE a lot, I can get into Masters or GM. It will require more skill and time, but you will learn other skills (macro, decision making, army control of higher tier units etc). That to me sounds like more fun, rather than controlling tier one units all day. I'm sure it's funny the first 100 times...but then?

The difference is the pros have many viable builds, true and tested. If you cheese every game, you can be hard countered quite easily in tournament settings. This six pooling strat for me is more entertainment, than anything else....

I don't get the hate for this strat. I feel like it is not as powerful as cannon rush but is a good tool to have in your arsenal. On the other hand...6 POOLING IS SO GODDAMN BORING even when you get the winning streaks...

Ye that stuff is tough to hold. Most times you can't hold it even with bunkers and SCVs repairing! It's kinda silly actually Here's to hoping there is a good way to dealing with it
