5 pool

A 5 pool is an aggressive Zerg strategy. The name comes from the fact that the build requires a spawning pool to be built before making any overlords, thus having 5 supplies. Once the pool is down, one overlord is built while the pool mutates. Then zerglings are repeatedly pumped out to bum-rush the enemy base.

This tactic is hard to stop if the opponent is not concentrating on their defenses at the start. If the opponent scouts this build, you will lose. This has been used effectively in the JJU vs. Reach 2005 match.

That is all.
