ok so you made the discovery that 6pool can win you games - and now?

what you gonna do with it? you are now stuck in high masters/eventually gm with actually no and experience in macro games, will that win you tournaments? no. will that win you anything? no. so what is it for - just to troll pros? win the bet against your friends?

I agree that this is a cool thread. He's obviously put a lot of thought into this, and it's clear that he needs to win from behind or transition often when his strategy fails. Nobody would argue that 6pool is the ultimate best strategy for Zerg (I think?), so the fact that he can use it every time and be GM is refreshing to me. It means skill is more important than build orders.

This is actually one of the most informative threads I have read recently. The hold position micro is actually amazing.

i am a master league player and i got to say. I havent lost to 6pool in months. But if u can pull it off and win your way to grand masters means u can do it pretty good and zergs should thank you cuz u give them a way to execute one more build that could come handy.
Btw whitera is so nice

why wouldnt you want to play straight up against sc2 pros?

I mean, winning in a non-allin-ish way and not a 6pool/cannon/bunker rush

Whenever this happens to me, I just move my head a little further away from the screen, blankly stare, and think "fuck". The end.

I was going to translate your broken English to readable english, but considering your bm you don't really deserve any favors.
