That guy clearly doesn't know the rule about not fagging out when someone cheeses you in a cw, it's simply not allowed, bm.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.

In a NAL CW vs a korean team, BO1 style I 5 pooled and won. (It was very late at night).
The koreans all agreed immediately after the game ended that it was not allowed and told me to rematch.
So in some CW's apparently it isn't allowed!

did you win or lose the rematch


Like almost all matches I played in korean clan wars, I won of course.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

I would agree you shouldn't do it, a cw is about finding out whose a better team...

Granted cheese win is still a win no matter how you look at it I.E. Why didn't the other guy stop it correctly.

But IMO is perfectly accepted but frowned upon.

I think if you have an unwritten agreement that nobody should 4 pool, then that changes the strategies that people will use. For example, if I know the zerg won't 4 pool then I can just nexus before forge without scouting which is a huge advantage.

i don't think it would have any effect on what strategies people will use. when people play, they don't really keep the possibility of a 4 pool in the back of their heads and play accordingly. even if they do, how would that change their build in any way? a protoss player would never go nexus before forge just because he knows the zerg won't 4 pool, considering a 9 pool build can still own it. 11 forge is pretty much the standard nowadays. i suppose i can think of a couple extremely minor things, but none of those would make a difference in the game. i don't think any of them could ever give you an advantage, let alone a huge one.

Yeah the forge example was bad now that you guys mention it, but I think it can still be more major than you are making it out to be.

like what?

I'm not good enough to play differently according to whether or not 4 pool is on the table (as compared to say 9 pool) so I can't give you a specific example. But of the millions of possible ways to play, I'm sure there are some adjustments that would be made if <9 pool was somehow off the table (that's what, 10-20 seconds of additional time to prepare for lings?)


I forge at 10, so in case they do a 5 or 6 pool, my cannons finish ASAP. If I knew they couldn't/wouldn't do that, I'd probably put my forge down at 11 or 12. It's like a four second difference

Of course you can do it.
But you're a fag.

Haha this reminds me of that time jju 4/5 pooled Reach on RH3 back in that proleague ace match a looooong time ago. I still remember the positions and Reach's reaction to this day.

Here we are expecting some mass-storm-mass-maelstorm-plague-ensnare-epic-hour-long-pvz reminiscence of Reach vs Chojja.
And then the fucker puts down a pool.

Fuck you jju.

as for korean amateur leagues such as e-kasa, barbara, and whatnot, they don't allow 4pool, BBS, and other proxy all-ins, because they want quality games out of each clan/guild.

i agree, i'd rather see standard games out of By, Shield, Sea and others.
