At first I thought this would be a good reason to avoid the ladder for a while. Then I realized all the free wins I'd be missing. :-)

6 pool works well in lower leagues. When I got the game and was noob it was all I did because I didnt know how to expand(Only got like 16-18 wins with it). But once I hit gold it suddenly stoped working and I went on a 15 losing streak using 6 pool. I have never used it in a league game since. But seeing how far you could go up to using 6 pool would be interesting. I should do it again once a while, its not that bad of a stratagy.

ok so i am 2.2k diamond and and haven't felt like ladder the past few weeks. I had a feeling that this 6 pool challenge was non-debatable that it would not work at my level but i decided to try it anyways. After 3 games and 3 loses against all three races i have officially stopped this challenge. I keep hearing the pros say that since worker ai have been enhanced 6 pool cheese no longer works. Maybe i am doing it wrong. I pull a couple of workers with my 6 pool but the that doesn't help it probably hurts me more. I tried another, in the middle of typing this, game with the first 6 lings as pressure the the following 6 ling to go for the kill. That worked on a zerg but his control was poor and scouting was not that good. I tired it on a terran buddy on LT and he held it off even though he didnt scout me towards the end.

Perhaps with this 100 6 pool challenge people will find legit ways to transition to standard game, much like the 4 gate (originally the 4 gate was also considered 100% cheese before people were able to transition).
.


Are you really suggesting Zerg can transition out of a 6 pool into a standard game? Really?

Im suggesting that completely new things are discovered every day. I didn't see the day9 barkles mentioned but if what he says is true, then it was apparently an example of a korean 7 pooling into a normal game. Also, we've seen pros do things like 10 and 11 pool standard openings, so who knows one day their may be a 6 pool one.

Doesn't count for much, but I saw a top 200 zerg take someone else's random n00b account into +3000 point masters doing nothing but 6 pool over and over again. You can pull it off vs most races, you just have to not get scouted at 10 supply and micro really well. I seriously didn't see him lose a single Z v Z though.

Sounds reasonable. If you know how to 6 pool well you it's very difficult for most players to defend against. Best race against it is Terran and that's only if they can manage to get your drone out of their base from blocking off the ramp.

Got that.

There's already so many zerg who do this without making a challenge out of it.

Exactly.

I've only had 1 guy 6 pool me in the last couple days. But i always scout on my 9 pylon, so i saw it coming a mile away. Then it's just a matter of completing your wall a little quicker.

Someone, hurry up and complete this. I want to be able to smile at the 18 wins 82 losses. ^^

I think that the roach rush where you bring your queen and all of your drones would be a better cheese to do than this :/

depends on the rush - if you are allowed to 7pool with extractor trick you get the most fighting units early (including drones) and vs zerg you will have about 100 mins to get 1 spine done.

If the thread was about early pooling 6-8 i prolly gave it a shot.
