does this still work in hots? I'd image because of some of the maps

11rax 11gas reaper shits all over 6pool though! met a couple of 6poolers on the ladder and ive laughed as my reapers kite the lings and drones to eternity.

6pool should work exactly the same vs z and p though?

I don't do this crap but I would say veto:
-Whirlwind
-Star Station
-Korhal City

You can stick with Whirlwind and hope they all go CC/nexus/hatch first, but even then the rush distance is just huge. The other maps are all 2 player which is obviously more reliable, and they all have shorter distances, except for Korhal City and Star Station close positions but that's a 1/3 chance and is just unreliable. With 2 player maps you have a higher chance of being scouted, but I personally (Terran) don't SCV scout against zerg and lots more Protoss I think are opening gate first, which often doesn't probe scout.

Sorry for bumping this classic thread, but I wonder if there are hilarious variations of drone all ins now that we start with even more drones. Also a lot of people seem to nex/cc/hatch first which seems pretty weak against these all ins.

i just watched DRG beat ByuL on stream with a 12/13/14 (? didn't see the start of the game) pool + drone pull, leaving 4 drones at home + double spine, one in main and one at nat + rallied zerglings off 4 drone mining

12 pool 13 gas 14 overlord?

what i meant is that because i didn't see the start of the game i don't know if the pool was built on 12, 13 or 14, sorry if that was confusing. there was no gas involved

There's a 16 (I think) drone rush on Ulrena that works zvt and zvp, according to ZeRgWaVe (NA GM).
I had an oracle built against me one game, so I lost that game

That felt unnecessarily aggressive, considering this thread is dedicated to 6 pooling and drone rushing.

And it's worth noting that it probably actually does improve your worker combat micro, which is useful for defending cheese.
