EPTI don't get the hate for Flash in that game really. Cheese can be fun. BBS or 4pool would have been a little lame but a proxy 7rax targeted at the scouting overlord is hardly a standard cheese build. The pulled scvs were just a reaction to JD's 12hatch.

BTW, my jaw dropped when Flash 8 rax bunker rushed Jaedong. WHO THE HELL DOES A CHEESE AGAINST YOUR STRONGEST RIVAL IN FRONT OF THE BIGGEST AUDIENCE ON CHRISTMAS? Also, screw those guys who claim Flash's strategy isn't cheese. There is no dictionary definition for cheese. There is no wikipedia entry on starcraft "cheese". It is CHEESE when the player pulls off a cheesy move to end the game in an anti-climatic fashion. So 2 hatch muta is also cheese? It ends game often quickly in an anti-climatic fashion. Lets just adopt completely arbitrary standards and call cheese anything that leads to our favourite player losing. | ||

Lets just adopt completely arbitrary standards and call cheese anything that leads to our favourite player losing. 2 hat muta with a bunch of lings is certainly cheese, and 2 hat muta without many lings can transition into a long game just fine and what flash did is obviously cheese, 7 rax and pulling 4 scvs? it doesnt really matter if it was a good decision or planned out or what, he was going for a quick kill and if it had failed he would have lost. that kind of build IS what cheese is. the fact that it was really likely to work just means its a good cheese. | ||

The TEARS! DELICIOUS! A few points: - Flash almost definitely would have stomped JD in a long game, anyway. - Flash doing 8rax was brilliant because he hasn't done a build like that in so long, and JD probably thought "Well, he can beat me with a safe economic build, why would he do that?" - Zergs in the future will have to shit bricks wondering if Flash is going to bunker rush them; they might hesitate to go 12hatch so often. It's a move that will pay dividends in the future for Flash as well. So you JD fans can cry all you want, but you know that you'd be going 'OMFG JAEDONG IS A FUCKING GENIUS' if he successfully 4pooled Flash. And 8rax isn't even close to 4pool level of cheesiness, either. About Shine vs Stork, I'm really sad for Stork since he's my 2nd favorite player. The 2nd match was an awesome game by Stork. I'm upset he lost too, but there's no need to take it out on Shine. The kid probably works hard, and his grandma was there at the match, that was cute. JD didn't look nearly as tired this game as he did his first. Flash probably cheesed because he was up 1, and didn't want to face a fresh JD if he didn't have to. It was HBR, which is for some reason a map that JD struggles on so Flash was likely to win anyways, but I don't see why he had to cheese. Secondly, it was a 7 rax not 8 rax. Then, it was a 7 rax PROXY, into a BUNKER RUSH, with 3 ADDITIONAL PULLED sev's. That is far more cheesy then a 4 pool. Cheese is never fun to watch. Ever. I don't like it when anybody does cheese. People who are happy now just want their favorite player // race to win rather then to see a good game. | ||

What do you mean by "personal level"? You mean hating them for their personality? If I can't hate a player for his personality, what am I supposed to hate him by? His stats? Win/Loss ratio? Number of golds? My favorite player of all time, Reach, has only won 1 OSL. But I don't like Reach because he won the OSL, I like Reach because I like his style and personality. Is this "not intelligent" to you too, because I like him for a completely subjective and biased reason? | ||
