I'd much rather see a 100 7 pool (just 8 lings) challenge. 7 pool has become my standard opening in ZvZ and ZvP and it leads to macro games 70% of the time with both of us roughly even on income. Far more versatile than 6 pool. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Fail_Pool_Rush_(vs_Protoss) for reference... The video you link in that article is terrible. CatZ uses a totally different build, and it fails, and CatZ loses the game badly ^^ | ||

With 4gate, there is at least the potential to transition into some sort of normal play. 6pool is binary win or fail: there is pretty much nothing to be gained from it. 100 6pool =/= 100 4gate, maybe 100 gateway @ 8 or 10 food. I hate it when someone 6pools me in zvz, i stop it losing 1-2 drones max and they play on and draw it out only to lose easily anyway -_- If only others shared your binary win/fail sentiments  | ||

6pool is quite dangerous on certain maps/spawns right now since you can no longer block the bottom of your ramp with 2 2x2 builds.. i'm still not exactly sure what is the best way to respond to it as protoss | ||

IT was to collect data on someones rise or fall through the ranks while executing one strategy well. there's not point in this one though, purely situational, dependent both on attacker and defender micro, dependent on scouting timings, dependent on map, dependent on spawn. It's so bad i it makes me wanna facepalm. | ||
