That's what I would say, anyway. I sometimes wonder how high a rank someone like Bisu or Stork could get if they started a new account and just 2-gated every single time, every matchup, every map, no matter what. | ||

They'll farm as many wins as they can with cheese builds to increase the size of their Bnet-peen (ie. their ICCUP rank). But the timeless saying still follows: "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....uhh Well the point is you can't get fooled. Some people won't even re because they know you'll be prepared for their cheese the second game. Basically those players aren't going anywhere BW wise and eventually you'll grow as a player and be able to handle cheese strats far better and eventually find yourself at a rank where you'll only be cheesed a respectable amount of times. This is sad but true. The ones who do re are awesome though IMO. Getting bunker rushed 5 times in a row is really valuable experience. For the record, in my 66 games so far this season, I've cheesed twice (both 6pool ZvP, though whether or not that's cheese can be debated), and have been cheesed only 3 times (2 bunker rush, 1 cannon rush). All games at D level. | ||

i'd say iccup is not a good place to practice standard, it is good for anti-standard practice tho. | ||

One time with a bunker rush, and one time with a cannon rush. One time when i was playing a protoss, and opted for a 12 hatch/11 pool opening, his scouting probe came and stole the gas both at my main and at my natural before my pool was finished. I thought that was pretty cheesy, but i don't really know what he hoped to gain from it, as he was just fast expanding like most of the tosses do. Also one terran tried to pull off some sort of 4-port mass wraiths, but it didn't do so well against against my hydra-heavy army. | ||
