Cannons inside his base.

It makes you worst than Hitler but is so easy to pull off against D players.

I wonder what it's like when a terran is 2 raxing mid map and a toss is 99 gating mid map
that's gotta be an awkward confrontation


something like that happened once, except it was center 9/9 gate vs center 9/9 gate on coliseum

I think it was much vs bisu

Try it out like last time. With a touchpad.

Yes, and seriously, the first thing on iccup I always do is to check for proxy gates/raxx or 5-7 pool.

Strange, because the only time in 200+ iccup games I have been cheesed was a 5pool. Ive never had a terran or a toss cheese me. (I play toss)

You sir walk with angels on your shoulders, or lag extremely bad .

I think I've had about 1/6 games cheese on iccup in the last year. So I would say out of 3k games, 450-500 of cheese seems about right. More cheese at D/D+ and C+/B- en at C-/C imo.

First off try being Terran. I find that proxy rax into a bunker rush is much easier to pull off than a proxy gateway sort of deal.

Are you sure you play the same iccup as everyone else? Or is it that you cheesed every time during those 199 games before encountering someone who actually cheesed before you even got the chance (that person in turn was on his 199th game of cheese)? Circle of evil. . .

The easiest cheese to pull off is probably the 5 pool. Try it- no hotkeys needed maybe >.>

In my last 50 or so iccup games I've only been cheesed a few times. There's much more all-in builds, but I don't count them as cheeses.

I am slightly picky when choosing opponents though. If I say hi in the pre-game chat and they don't say anything back (even gl hf gogo is fine) I kick them.
No I'm never serious.
