Inspired by the 100 four gate challenge.

First Five to complete challenge:

Name/ID: Name.999
Division: Division
Points before "Hundred 6pool Challenge": # (0 Bonus pool)
Points 63 Games into challenge: 2076
Final score: Unknown
Replay pack: Coming SOON ( and not in the blizzard sense)

I really wonder how far people can get with a 6pool when in higher leagues as opposed to lower tier leagues.

Meh, really easy to scout and defend so I hope people don't rage too hard in this thread. I wonder if anyone will gain significantly.

You could prolly hit 50/50 somewhere in mid-diamond. TBH 6 pool is a horrible cheese.
:) I play zerg. FOX AND KT ROLSTER COASTER FAN! Because I love everyone. Except bisu.

I managed to defend it a few times without walling off, did lose quite a bit of probes but my zealots kept holding so after awhile I just sent like 15 zealots in lol. I find it's easier to wall off around your nexus, pylon near mineral line and you're good.

I thought this was the rule for zergs in team games lol

It'll be interesting to see results from 100 games. I wonder how intricate the 6 pool micro will get for people at the end.

6 pool isn't really a good cheese against a decent opponent who knows how to micro workers. I've lost every single time I've tried it, so I don't even bother with it anymore.

All this will do is piss off a lot of people and the players doing the rush wont wont be improving at all you are better off making a 100 game 3+ base Macro challenge instead.

Haha so true. Team games are 1 person cheeses, other techs.

The "play the game as normal as possible and see where you get after 100 games". YES.

Boring.

Plzleaveduck 6 pool 6 drone'd me on steppes of war one game. If you don't double rax on small maps you lose to stupid shit like 6 pools.

6pooling is complete cheese, that sadly works.
Unbiased biased terran abuser Jeffrey. Sorry for the rage, friend!

Although the 6 pool is indeed a strategy/cheese that one must train it to do it decently I fail to see the point of doing it one hundred (!) times in a row.

Well good luck to you all.
I'll try to spend my time in other ways.

Yeah because the 100 4gate challenge will help tons of people improve...
Being weak is a choice.
