I find 6/7 pool fairly weak unless it's something like adjacent positions and I scout you last. that's probably the main reason is scouting a 6 pool last. that or a forge first build can sometimes lose if the player panics, or is too greedy (like 15 forge or something) other than that, 6 pool should be pretty easy to stop and the zergs so far behind it leads to really unsatisfying games. | ||

Not sure which map is best but i find i can scout the zerg almost always for these 6pool builds. it's annoying though if your unlucky with the scout. | ||

See, your win ratios are pretty high, but if you had good micro, it would be insane. I'm talking like, being able to micro the zealot in the wall to kill it without losing lings, having a drone block a terran's barracks to possibly cause him to place it differently (dunno if that works usually, i saw it done once), etc etc, it would be so much stronger. | ||

Small 4-player map, i scout your position the last. Then there is no way to stop it. But your winratio will be 33% on small maps and 0 % on big maps. If i do a forge opening, it is so easy to hold, even if the ramp is 20k metres wide. Just build a pylon and a cannon in your mineral line. And do a bit of probe micro. 6-Pool against Protoss is either a Auto-Loss or a stupid coinflip. (But it seems like quite a lot don't know how to deal with it. Sadly, because it's easy to stop) | ||

I’ ve been experimenting this for while, to consume bonus pool and farm some portraits. If you wonder how to stop this , here the best defenses I found: Protoss: (I have like 75% winrate against platinium people ) Pull all of your drone to protect pylons. Put more than one pylon next to each other to minimize the zerglings surround. Build gw/pylons near the nexus, so it’s easy to pull drones off. Very early forge shut down this. Later forge make it like 50/50 winrate. Zerg: (I have like 50% winrate) It’s more micro intensive than versus Protoss. Almost never win against people who put two spine crawlers in the mineral line. If you go to snipe them with zerglings, you have easy surround with the drones. Terran: (In this matchup I almost never win with 6 pool) If I manage to block the second supply depot and go in there, it’s still pretty difficult. As a terran you pull of all of you scv’s , and you surround the marine to protect him. You can add an additional bunker if the zerg let you do it. I have downvoted: xelnaga caverns People always expect rush on this. scrap station Too long distance to rush, but It’s still ok. The problem is I have a lot of ZvZ. Slag pits easy to scout on close spots. | ||
