Cheese is an aged (fermented) food. What is the Korean fermented food that comes to mind? kimchi.

Thus i've coined a term for the prevalent tendency for most players on the Korean servers to play extremely aggressively with no followup:
kimcheese

Cheese. Kim•cheese. The word takes too much effort to speak to make it to mainstream, I bet.
I recommend Kiess?

Just use a dark archon, mindcontrol one of their workers and do the same to them later in the game

1 rax in addition to (by that point in the game) ~10 gates. Sounds like a plan xD.

"Cheese" comes from the Korean abbreviation of "cheaters"...so you're trying to get people to say "kim cheaters"....makes no sense.

And kimchi is cabbage, not dairy.

Yes you must execute well. If you fail then its your mistake not a mistake inherent in the build order.

I personally like the term Kimcheese LOL it sounds so racist because of the common Korean last name.

It's funny. When you're taking a picture, instead of cheese, you say kimchi in Korea.

no..

Cheese comes from the fact that it causes people to whine, and what goes good together? Cheese&Wine

It's only cheese if its paired with whine. Anyways... that's not true, at the higher level of Starcraft Broodwar or any aggressive korean player in an RTS, there is always a good followup
