I figured since theres a 100(build) Challenge for Protoss and Zerg out there, there should be a balance, just like blizzard's superb balancing of this game

Inspired by:
The 100 6Pool Challenge
AND
The 100 4Gate Challenge

First Five to complete challenge:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

What Is 2Rax???

Liquipedia

If theres gonna be cheese for 2/3 of the races, there might as be cheeses for everyone.

2RAX is not the equivalent of 6pool/4gate, i would say an early stim 4rax(3tech 1 reactor) or 3rax (2tech 1 reactor) is.

2 rax isn't cheese...you can expo off it and still pump workers...

Seriously 2 rax is like the most solid tvz opening atm. It doesn´t count on not being scouted and you almost always can get an economy lead.

If you would like, we can modify it to 2rax bunker rush.
Then again, 4gate isn't really cheese either. However, the options and variations can be cheesy, if not altogether outright cheese. 6pool as well, if you do enough damage, you can expo and produce workers.

How to respond to this thread once 100 6pools were completed

Your copy and paste from the 100 6 pool thread needs to be edited.

While I don't agree with practicing cheese instead of trying to become a better, solid macro player, I am curious to see how the 2 rax play will evolve and the MU shifts that will come from people getting better and more used to holding it off.
Perhaps you should also clarify the BO you mean with 2 rax. 2 rax before orbital without gas? 2 rax fe TvP? Or just abusive TvZ 2 rax on close spawn positions maps?

But if it is scouted, 1 spine crawler at the front, or if fast expanding, a few extra zerglings can shut down most harrass unless accompanied by multiple scvs/bunkers.

Yeah, thats lings made and a spine crawler being made that's not going into drone pumping. Pressure is the name of the game.

2rax is really nothing like 6pool or 4gate. youd be better off counting how many zerg xpo's you can kill off

4gate is really nothing like 6 pool either, there are plenty of variants that aren't all in - esp against Z and P. and 2rax of course isn't. Not sure the OP really understands the difference between 'build' and 'cheese'.

Can we stop these threads? Really? Even though I disagree with the 4 gate one even starting, it was probably the only one we really needed, we don't need one for each race, this just plagues the ladder with even more cheese than there already is. -___________________-
Not that 2 rax is completely cheese unless you bring every scv you own.

This is stupid... 2 rax is only viable vs zerg, vs toss and terran its absolutely terrible. At least 4 gate works against all matchups. Serious just l2p and stop making stupid threads.
