i love how people saying 14 cc=cheese, you guys are so stupid that it gives me pain

what is it? standard?

if jd 9pooled in game 5 he would've instantly won.

flash didnt even scout AT ALL. he would've had to hold off lings with just SCV's.

its all part of the mindgames but it is a cheese. its giving him the peak economical advantage and hes taking a huge risk to achieve it.
aka cheeesing.

You do know a standard game is the 14 CC and not cheese and all ins ? you must be new to starcraft... Flash is one of the best players ever and he should get the respect he deserves.


14cc is kind of econ-cheesing.

Ty Kentor for streaming the MSL finals. What a match. I'm glad it went to flash though really felt like he deserved it.

Yes.

First, the expansions on Polaris Rhapsody are very open, and therefore difficult for Zerg to defend. It's a 2-player map, so Terran can scout-->14CC safely. There's an easy wall-in for Terran, so Terran is safe from almost any cheesy rush with only a couple marines.

Furthermore, late game Polaris Rhapsody is very favorable for mech due to the narrow paths and ease of splitting the map, which means Jaedong has to either win early/midgame or get a large economic advantage before entering the lategame.

All of this is true of Odd-Eye as well. As a consequence, Flash opened with scout --> 14CC --> midgame all-in all three games on Polaris/Odd-Eye, and won all of them in large part because JD had to play high-econ to avoid losing in the late game.
My strategy is to fork people.

Econ-cheesing is an oxymoron. There is no such thing.

It probably influenced JD on his build.

Can't really open normal muta-lurker on this map since the third is not really defensible with lurkers and you can't do muta harass like you can on match point to make up for it.

He also might've just been expecting mech and was going for some sort of mass hydra push.


Ah didnt notice the 3rd didnt have a ramp, thanks
