I don't get it? Six pool is so simple and easy to execute there's no reason you'd need to practice it 100 times. I don't think this follows the same spirit as the 100 four-gate thread, which at least requires elementary school level skills to pull off. A better thread would be a 100-baneling bust challenge or a 100 7RR all-in challenge as someone mentioned above.

Yeah I agree 7RR seems like a better thing to do this. 6 pool seems way too easy to defend against.

Meh, really easy to scout and defend so I hope people don't rage too hard in this thread. I wonder if anyone will gain significantly.


if you scout zerg last on metalopolis you can lose to it very easily as toss

You should try it against me then. I've lost every game i've ever played against it. I almost successfully defended against it the last game i played until he came back a minute and a half later with mass lings/blings.



I chuckled at the 100 4gate thread (i myself am not participating), so i guess it's only fair that a thread like this would pop up. Coming soon: The 100 2rax Challenge!

Plzleaveduck 6 pool 6 drone'd me on steppes of war one game. If you don't double rax on small maps you lose to stupid shit like 6 pools.

6pooling is complete cheese, that sadly works.

i loled so hard

talking about 2rax but 6pool is terrible cheese. 2rax of course is high level play!

Walling off at the bottom of the ramp completely counters 6pool, 7pool etc.

There's a counter to a strategy in SC2?

Because the other guy will all-in you from 1 base, a 5-base challenge is impossible.

Easiest thing on the planet to stop. Scout and you win.

Never lost to a 6 pool before. You see it's coming, and you finish your wall off, lol.

Replay packs will probably be embarrassing. 20% win rates anyone?

Well, my problem with this challenge is there's not much variation. The 4 gate challenge at least allows for stalker vs zealot vs sentry or some odd mix. This, well, it's 6 lings, maybe some spines if zvz, maybe some drones as well. Or, maybe 8 or 10 lings if you stock pile them. If it fails, gl recovering...

Idk, just seems a tad hum-drum. I agree with the others, bling bust or roach rush (not necessarily limited to just or as many as 7) sounds way more exciting, they don't punish you as bad for failure, and they give a little more variation than 6pool. In any case though, good idea, but I'm gonna pass this time.
The spice must flow... Grammar lesson: "than" is used for quantity comparisons, "then" is used for chronological statements. The next forum user who says, "I'd do such and such, THAN I'd do such and such else," is gonna make me cry...

I've been waiting fdor soemone to make this thread. Although I think a 7pool is better for this sort of thing.

The point of the last thread wasn't to refine your 4gate build. IT was to collect data on someones rise or fall through the ranks while executing one strategy well.

I think 12 drone rush on Steppes Of War should be a challenge. I'm 2-2 using that strat at high diamond so far.

Because zergs already play this way obviously!!!!

and 6pooling is fast so its easy to do alot of it in a short period of time.

6 pool is ridiculously easy to stop compared to 4 gate though.. in pvp 4 gate is actually a standard build for example

You realize that protoss doesn't scout until 9/12 so there isn't a really good way to block it unless you chrono units out from the start which most of us dont like to do because we use chronos for workers.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Now I'm waiting till someone posts the 100 2-rax all in challenge. (and BitByBitPrime may already done this).

6-pool is just too easy to defend, even without scouting.
