I don't cheese, but then again, I stopped laddering too. Cheese is fine when you play with friends who might know you a little, then it isnt pure luck of the draw, there is a little bit of mindgames to it.

game 1: i played straight up
game 2: i played straight, but much more agressive
game 3: straight up, different tech then other games
game 4: fast expand, like unsafely fast
game 5: straight up

... now if I cheesed in game 6, isnt that a little more interesting then just 'who the hell is this guy' and bam cannons in your base every other game?

Half the fun of laddering is beating a cheesy opponent who rage quits after the cheese fails.
Also, I'm pretty sure that stuff like this is defend-able once scouted. Its all a matter of how you adapt, or react.

Either that or in some kind of tournament/competitive setting. Totally agree.

While the easiest way to practice defeating cheese is to face it, if you face it too much, it takes away from your ability to practice your mid/late gameplay.....

ppl should take a pledge to learn to how stop all 3 said cheeses.

If you don't allow anyone to win with these builds they will stop doing them. :D

I wish people would learn to deal with cheese rather than whine about it... don't go around doing risky econ openings if youre scared of cheese =.=

It doesnt look good on the cheeser's part, but it only makes you a fool to think that others should change their gameplay to your liking.
