But, do you really think you'll improve cheesing? You basically toss a coin and pray they dont scout/are prepared for whatever you're doing His point is that people with bad build orders that are exploited by abusive play call people cheesers and get mad, when they only have themselves to blame for it. If they were really good, their builds would be cheese proof. This guy is a baller by the way, he played vs korean pros in WCG. Also, he's not saying the korean scene is strategically stagnant, he is saying that foreigners on iCCup have stagnated. | ||

what build was being used. I remember cheesing Yellow[arnc] 20 times in a row (every single one different cheese) and winning more than half of them. Was he mad? no. Was he a better player after those games? yes, more anticipation. Was i a better player? yes because i was categorising builds as effective/ineffective. Then again, kiante will call me a test dummy. | ||

You always remember some really good cheese! But cheesing would lose all its mystery and all its wow-factor, if it's done too often. It's balancing on a knife's edge. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img.dailygame.co.kr/news/201107/attachments/20110714_cda1107e28029358e846b1c628c2d73a.jpg) | ||

What you listed are openings, only a fraction of strategies. Openings are mostly mapped out because they're easy to calculate and figure out. The real fine strategy lies in the early-mid/midgame, which is still constantly evolving | ||

Cheese is part of the game, but I think once you start doing it every single game it starts to get a little old and people will not like to play you. Boring it would be if it was the same kind of cheese every game. But this will be weak of course. For me it is boring to play 4 out of 5 games standard macrofest game (which also makes you tired). Ideal for me is something like: cheese 1/3 of games, get cheesed 1/3 and normal macro vs macro 1/3. This creates a dynamic balance which may eventually lead to other balances. But if someone is playing greedy, the proper punishment is aggression, which gives advantage, greed gives only equality. Think of it as rock paper scissors: cautious greed cheese cautious beats cheese cheese beats greed greed beats cautious I find that in the current metagame greed is too high and cheese is too low, which makes cautious play weak. This is the case because its often advised that the cure for greed is more greed and if greed gets punished by cheese, cheese doesnt take credit. | ||

 I sorta agree. A fine tuned, well prepared cheese is so awesome to watch and I agree that players on ICCup should play more "strategically" every now and then instead of solely working on their mechanics. But I also think that it's more fun to do these kind of things when you're playing against a same opponent for a lot of games, instead of random players on ladder. This way you can see each game how your opponent reacts and adapts to your "strategies". | ||
