But I guess thats because more players on NA = more noobs. :p More players means there are more people to pick from when forming the top tier for the elite few too, so it's more of a compliment than an insult  | ||

Not like, a complete one or anything, cliff notes is fine too Going through the replays i see kinda a variety of diff ways to defend, but you say you definitely absolutely need a forge to defend? | ||

If i were to put out one fire with a hose, could I say I'm a fire-fighter? No, but you said that basically the entire reason you are high on ladder is because you cheesed your way up. If you spent your entire life fighting fires, and when they were going to give you a medal for fighting fires you were like "Yeah this isn't me" You'd be lying. | ||

I'll talk to him for you Brtarolg and see what I can do. You see, I am his coach. I'm his sempaii and he my padawon. Actually, you or anyone who wants to come learn from my 6pooling student can hop onto quakenet irc we're in #mrpotato. We're pretty elite. | ||

A few pages back I outlined how to defend it as P. As for executing it...well I think the replays speak for themselves. | ||

played a terran, I went to 6 pool him and the guy had a wall up lol wtf, worst strategy in the world vs terran. Won the game 20 minutes later anyways, because he was only 3k diamond, but yeah. | ||

It felt uneasily unfair that I could get 12+ ladder wins in a row and then get the streak ended by a blind PvZ on Shattered Temple. I scouted at 9 and it was still way, way too late by the time I found him. | ||

I mean, yeah last scout spawn on 4 player sucks, but thats probably what, 10% of your games? | ||

Most of us will never do this professionally, even fewer will do so successfully, so winning shouldn't be the end all. Seems like such a waste of a game that took 12 years to develop to 6 pool. oh you mean like 2rax oh you mean like 4gate oh you mean like cannon rush, proxy 2gate zealot, 7pool spine crawler rush early aggression is part of the game, scouting is part of the game the best way to avoid these games is to thumbs down bad maps like slag pits | ||

He beats me to masters because I'm an idiot and play super standard macro play every game. Needless to say all I do is cheese now and quickly climbed to rank 1 on EU and NA in diamond waiting for promotion. TL;DR: Playing standard on ladder is fucking pointless until you get to masters. | ||

The second I see and confirm that a 6 pool just popped up, I throw down 2 gateways when I have the minerals and save up all chrono boosts for zealots and finish up my wall. If you go a 13 gateway I'm fairly certain you can't fully wall with 2 gates... The best you can do is 2 gateways and 1 pylon and only one ling can attack the pylon. However, the problem is, if you scout it last, you already have your core making - your gas is up... And by the time you enter their base their knocking on your base with 6 lings. At that point it's pretty much game over as long as they don't 1a their lings into your mineral line. They can snipe your pylon and there is simply nothing you can do since the zealot has a ways to go to finish... I haven't had much trouble dealing with 6 pool personally, but I think it's mainly they're execution is bad. I like to get a forge, fully wall off, and make a cannon. No zealots or anything, tends to work pretty well. If they go after your pylon with good probe your micro you will usually only lose 3-4 probes vs 6 lings if they decide to engage by your pylon. Or the easy counter to it is go for 14 forge every game, auto win vs 15 hatch, pylon block + cannon vs 14 gas 14 pool.... Or just forge fe. I have been preferring this build lately, and it's not because the 6 pool threat. I find that it's a 67% the zerg auto loses if they 6 pool. | ||
