2. It's pretty standard. 3. It's not "more standard" than it is because it's more easily defended than you might think (at least on most maps). | ||

Cheese is something that you can't recover from if it fails. 8 rax you can transition to mech or fe carrying on the game from there. That's not a very good definition. It's hard to recover from anything if it fails. I would consider cheese more something that would never work if your opponent knew it was coming. | ||

Cheese is something completely all-in imo, bunker rush(unless you send every worker you have) isn't all-in. | ||

Its a game winning opening if its not defended properly, and even if its perfectly defended you're still ahead. So dont be suprised if some Z players get pissed at you if you use 8 rax  | ||

Cannon rush is cheese? it is allin? I define cheese to be a build that sets u behind slightly and it is devastating if not scouted but easily countered when scouted. | ||

SRSLY: 8 Rax is a great opening that puts you in an advantage and you can transition into anything. It is like saying 3 hatch spire, 5 hatch hydra is a cheese, because it is easy executable and wins you a lot of games On December 19 2009 17:45 unSpeake wrote: if zerg goes 9 pool or even overpool you basically lose as a terran player, which is why it is considered cheese; you are assuming the zerg 12hatches without even scouting which makes it mostly a luck based build and with the recent influx of 8rax / proxy factory based builds because fantasy loves them overpool is becoming more common anyway Yeah, cuz zergs go 9/Overpool every game... The new maps have big rush distances ('cept Match Point) so even if the Zerg opens with early pool and you open 8 rax, you can stil defend pretty easily | ||
