It definitely is an all-in, like zulu said. If you consider all-ins cheese then I guess it is | ||

weakness (detect, splash, bugs, etc) , using cheap low-skill units, which usually wins the game. also a cheese is often unusual or else everyone expects and defends for it. eg: a few dts against a terran with no scanner/acad/mines/vessel can win the game. the attack required no skill, and did not show that the attacker is necessarily a better player, yet he will win. cheese. same again with a quick 2 lurk drop. its GG yet the zerg doesn't have to do anything, except drop the lurks and burrow. any player who wins with less resources, less units, less apm, has probably cheesed and may not win overall if many games are played. so yeah, 3 hat ling to me is just a normal attack. no way it could be a cheese. and i disagree with the idea of "all-in = cheese". they are different words, and have different meanings. cheese is low-cost and doesn't lose the game when it fails. all-in is high risk and high cost - by definition if the all-in fails, you will very likely lose the game. the 3hat ling is more of an all-in than a cheese to me, but i think it's neither.

Well, if he scouted it he actually did a good job. Had a progamer done this you'd call it "great timing" or "great game sense". It's the fault of the Terran not to have mines, scan or turrets up in time. I mean SC still has a small element of strategy in it, and when you see your enemy has a weakness you try to exploit it ASAP. I don't see why this should mean something like this takes no skill, just because you don't need 400 APM to pull it off. | ||

It was allin and it was rather lame. But his strategy was vulnerable and greedy and I knew when I saw it that I could take the win and there was nothing he could do. To do anything other than "cheese" in that situation would be retarded. When faced with a choice between winning and not winning cheese doesn't come into it. | ||

Uhh, yes, you can scout and defend against every possible strategy. If you're scouting a Protoss and you see only 1 pylon in his base several minutes in, you can assume proxy. If you scout a Zerg a minute in and he's got only 5 drones, you also know lings are arriving early. If you scout Terran PvT and he takes gas very late, there might be another barracks on the map. Blindly assuming that your opponent is going to be conventional is a compensation for your inability to infer the status of the game at any given time. Exploiting this weakness is an exertion of higher skill by the opponent, or a stroke of luck (sure luck happens; I random-to-4pool tons). But there's no need for the derogatory "cheese" label. | ||

I see there are more opinions on what is cheese than I thought. :> It's a useless debate. My view is that ONLY very fast rushes are cheese. Like: proxy gate/rax, bunker rush, sunken rush, 4-6 pool, SCV rush, cannon rush, and to a certain extent also manner pylon or gas steal. | ||

My view is the same. My point about harass was that if risk makes something cheese then reaver harass is up there with 4 pool. | ||

so whether an opponent is cheesing definitely depends on their intent, but generally 3hat ling with no econ or other tech is cheese | ||
