6 pool will of course be a great strategy on ladder where it's always a BO1. Pros can't play like this because they play BO3+. If 6 pool is your only strategy I think by game 2 they will be ready for it :p. Pretty funny how successful you were though. In ZvZ 6 pool is so easy to hold off for me unless I don't see the drone building the spine. It should really only win you the game vs hatch first players which I don't think is very good zvz anyway.

Since proxy gateways don't work that well on ladder because of the 4-player maps... I'd say 4/5-Gate. It's only my opinion though.

Cheese will always be a part of the game. Like most people, i prefer to win a nice macro game, however ever 10ish games i'll probably do some sort of cheese as a result of my impatience.

My problem with cheese is that it is based off blind counters, and that is why it is very unreliable. For example, i was playing as toss and i decided to open with an eco 2 gate, and the zerg tried to 6 pool me. The zerg got stomped based off a blind counter.

When running something standard like 2 base colossus, or marine-tank, the player has control over the game whether his comp is scouted or not. There is no worse feeling than having some weird cheese scouted, or walking into a hard counter.

I'm against cheese, because it is too luck-based, and therefore inconsistent.

One night, baked, i decided to 6 pool some games before sleeping. I won like 7 or 8 straight, and mainly faced Protoss. It was amazing so i played all the night.

I got promotion like 3 hours after. Was like "wtf diamond". 2 months after, i was demoted to Platinum, where i'm stuck now, playing standard games, mainly pushing macro to improve as Zerg.

Yeah 6-pool works. Really well.

Next patch: Zerg needs now 2 overlords to build a spawning pool.

I guess I can safely say Cannon-rushing/proxy 2-gate will suffice then, thanks

Cannon rushing isn´t as easy as it seems, at least in high level games, but if you pull it of successfully, you have a huge advantage.

It is also extremely funny! Makes games more interesting ^^

i wouldnt proxy 2 gate a terran just a warning (unless its a 2p map and you can get inside the wall) i would opt for the cannon rush but you have to be kinda trixy to cannon rush a terran - be creative.

Can someone please answer, what do people think is the most effective 6 or 7 pool BO for each mu? I notice there are a lot of ways to do it involving extractor trick/when you make your OL/ bringing all your drones or just some for spines zvz, etc.

Reminds me of Actionjesuz or whatever his name is. A top EU master level player who 6 pools a lot. I think it might work but Im too scared to do it myself

ive concluded 6pool is horrible against terran. however im working on a sick 1base baneling but that hits at like 5:30 before the terran can have much of anything at all and they normally all wall with 1depot only by this time. should beat any terran other than high masters who know how to scout it correctly
