EPTIf you do 10 overpool, it's too late to do any kind of break.... so I dunno, it might get you an advantage but it's not autowin if they know its coming.

I actually just played a match where the opponent was trying it too and we both just left after seeing that it worked and going "wow" as our huge pile of lings met in the middle too fast. Amusing, but stupid. Will be patched soon hopefully. | ||

I can't Immortal timing push a Zerg cheese! Imba, imba! Because orb calls something OP is a terrible standard to judge by. If we did things by what orb said, only copper players would be allowed to play as Zerg, no Terran units would be in the game, and Stalkers and Sentries would be the only combat units used at Platinum (now Gold, lol!) level play. The sad thing is, I actually agree that it needs to be changed, just because it's a stupid idea to be able to recover your Larvae. It's possible to reach a correct conclusion with incorrect reasoning. This is what Last edit: 2010-04-23 15:16:12 occurred here. | ||

P/T can easily stop it with a wall if they scout it, and worker AI is so much better against early lings that it's a lot easier to repel as long as you can get to a point where the lings aren't just kiting your entire worker force. Yes, it's a stupid bug that should (and will) be fixed, but it certainly doesn't seem game-breaking (it probably is unstoppable at copper/bronze/silver?). Right now I would rather face a 10 ling 6 pool in SC2 than face a 5 pool in SC:BW. Edit: One thing I haven't seen yet is someone bringing their drones along with the 10 lings. That could probably be pretty nasty, especially on small maps  | ||

I personally don't use it but it did make most of the terrans and protosses I face today a little more defensive. silver is a tough zone to be in 50% of the games are straight up cheese and I am terrible at dealing with them. (It is good training though) I am sure it will be fixed, or zvz will be just god aweful, I had one game where they manage to zerg down 2 sunkens and my queen and half my workers with just lings. But hey, props to whoever found this bug/strat/whatever this is. Better catching this in beta than after release (they will probably still be balancing it then). Personally I dont think balance is not what is keeping them from releasing starcraft 2, more like the single player modes, achievements and other stuff. Balancing can always been done after release. | ||
