Don't try to 6pool on Taldarim though, it's the definition of fail. Atleast vs a protoss that knows how to send a probe to scout =P

It's sort of discouraging that you can get to 3800 just by 6 pooling, i couldnt even get there playing standard Makes me feel terrible that 6 pool (the easiest strat ever) can get that far : /

Nicely done though, i only thought six pool worked like 10% of the time Soooo, why arent zergs just doing this more? Especially vs protoss who they complain about so much.
If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

The replay pack is more to see the BM that people portray or if people want to learn how to stop it. It includes all the games I lost as well.


Lol ya I tend to get pretty angry when I lose to cheese. I am much more experienced vs 6 pool now though, so I challenge you to a 6 pool rematch whenever! My rage is never a personal attack of hatred, just me venting my frustration.


(also blizz should make a spawning pool require 2 overlords, dustin browder's excuse for keeping 6 pool in the game is that they want the player to be on the edge of their seat from the start of the game which is some BS)

lets make warp gate require 2 cybers too

I think it's more because many zergs are having issues with handling late game protosses. Better to end it early on a coinflip, than to go to a lategame when you can't figure out how to beat them, right?

If u would meet me on the ladder u would beat me on big maps since i play CC first alot.
But i was only 6pooled once or twice after advancing to masters league and that was on scrap ^^.

I think it works so well because the current metagame (atleast in masters) has 15 hatch in 90% of the games promoting CC and Nexus first builds.

If zerg players can hold a 7 pool without a wall and an enemy spine crawler built directly inside their base, protoss players should be able too. Maybe you are not used to it and need more practice, or are going for a too greedy late gateway.

This is really hilarious, fun replay pack to watch actually.

A lot of WC3 players 4gate just out of habit, they want to micro, not macro. While cheesing everygame will fuck your over in a tourney, it's fine for ladder.

Cheese and onebasing gets you high on the ladder and wins games for you in tournaments, beating players you'd normally have no chance against.


Nothing new.

How do you lose against a 6/7 pool. I can hold it with protoss and terran with ease :/

I'm one of those master's league protoss players who loses every single time to the 6-pool...

If I scouted earlier I could hold it off.

Wait..you don't condone cheesing, yet you cheesed for like a week straight and ruined everyone elses ladder experience?

I dont care if you cheese or not, but dont start your post by saying "This is a bad thing to do, and even though I do it all the time it isn't really who I am". Actually, your actions DO make you who you are.



His point is that 6-Pool actually worked, and that he only did it because he didn't have enough time on his hands, so might as well do some probability testing. Aaaaaaand it turns out the NA ladder is apparently not 6-pool proof

FFE is autoloss against early pool unless it's on like Taldarim cross spots where you can get the cannon up. But unless you do 9scout, you will never see it in time.
I will never ever play Mech against Protoss. - MVP

Protoss rage due to six pool is exactly like zerg rage to cannon rush. I did watch the replay pack though, funny stuff. Especially the game against whiplash.

i only lose to a 7 pool on scrap (the larger ramps seems tempting for zergs) if i play normal ... but normally i do a cc first and lift of to the two islands if a zerg does this. Ahead in workers ahead in bases and flames or instant leave is common. It works since zergs never go for a 11 pool against a terran ^^.

But around my level on europe, tosses are normally pretty mannered and say glhf, but rage quiet fast about imba. Zergs are normally pretty bm if they lose their a click and terrans normally say nothing.

Micro is pretty uncommon in the ladder that makes cheese if you can micro so good. You start to encounter good Micro commonly at mid master, before everything is a click ^^.

My standard is to forge first vs zerg now knowing about 50% of them 6 pool or roach all in.

I've been doing CatZ' 7pool build vs. every protoss I meet on a 4 player map. If they don't scout me first, or try a forge FE, it's auto-win.

I'm only doing this cause I can't seem to beat a toss these days. But works for me for now.

Wow interesting facts, I never knew that 6/7 pools have such high percentages at high level, I guess I will try to incorporate it in my play for tournaments. I will have to train it tho, never done it.
