2hat muta is based on early harassment and it has to do damage to be able to carry on to mid and late game. Now if the build is working real good and doing insane damage why not continue pumping units instead of workers and finish it right there?
You ppl have really forgotten what cheese or all-in means.
Cheese is when you vastly sacrifice the number of workers you have to make a lot of units to kill your opponent. When you have less drones out than mutas you've made then you're cheesing. Just because you can make drones later doesn't make it not cheese.
Is this somehow new to people that 2hatch muta CAN be cheese?
It's not an insult, either. Hydra spotted the positions and made the decision that got him the win. Flash cheeses about as much as any other player, I am by no means insulting Hydra for doing it.
That's not cheese. Probably all-inish, but not cheese lol. Cheese a blind strategy like BBS, proxy gates, where you rely on luck to beat your opponent (him not scouting, not walling, etc).
Btw you keep mentioning the amount of drones and that's exactly the amount of drones you usually have when you 2 hatch mutas, you start with more, but then you need 2 extractors, the spire, maybe a sunken, etc.
What? That's absolutely not true, you have way more drones because you don't make even half the number of lings hydra does when you do the standard 2 hatch muta.

I'd define cheese a build that takes the opponent by surprise, hides something (proxy for example) that is easy to counter if scouted and hard if not.
All-in on the other hand is something that cuts economy or tech to make one attempt to take the game and finish it and if countered it's hard or impossible to recover.
2hat against 14cc, pure BO advantage and abusing that fact. Cutting workers doesnt make it cheese, it could make it all-in but I wouldnt call this all in either.

that wasn't cheese by Hydra lol.. Flash got the imba position anyway, any competent Zerg would've won getting those positions
Did you notice the observer hovering over Hydra's drones multiple times? Now did you count the drones? Now did you count the number of lings and mutas he made in comparison to those drones? IT was absolutely cheese.

can we stop calling anything that isn't at least four base play cheese
Hydra had 15 drones, it was cheese mate. There's nothing wrong with cheese, it's flash's fault for losing to it.
2 hatch muta isn't cheese... You normally are pretty low on drones until your mutas are out.
It was cheese because of the number of mutas and the lings, not because it was 2hatch muta. Notice how I never even said "2hatch muta is cheese," But that that many units with that few drones is what makes it cheese.
I don't really wanna go much further with this, but even 2 hatch while making a lot of units in response to something isn't cheese. If that's cheese then jaedong used to "cheese" in 3/4 of his ZvT games. Making units because you see an opening isn't cheese; hydra wasn't sitting there praying flash died as he a clicked, he just saw a 14 CC and an opening and so he exploited it.

Yeah, but why would he not make lings when he sees he can get in and punish Flash?
"Oh no, the liquipedia 2 hatch muta page says I must have X drones, I will not take my opportunity get in Flash's base". Don't be ridiculous. Flash goes 14cc and you are calling 2 hatch muta cheese.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? I didn't say Hydra shouldn't have done it, I've just always said anything where you massively sacrifice drones this early in the game to kill your opponent as cheese. :> You're the one who said he had the normal number of drones which is farcical.

You are confusing the definition of cheese and all-in. 2 hatch muting cutting drones = all-in. But it's NOT cheese.
A blind 5 pool, proxy gates, bbs, 11 fact vulture, no dragoon DT rush, etc <- those are cheese builds.
Why are you guys talking about lurkers? Lurkers are awful vs mech. Hydras are just needed to defend vultures, there was no fake lurkering and I'd be surprised if the terran thought that, lol.

it's as stupid as OZ fans, who blamed every loss for about half a year on "JD looks tired and doesn't get enough rest" in 2010...
.............. are you really buthurt about people caring about their teams players conditions? Hydra outplayed flash and hit the "before marine range" timing perfectly?
Please just get-the-fuck-out if you dont think either are whats bothering people, cus you know what? When Jaedong comes up to the stage with bags under his eyes, when flash uses most of the time before the match massagin his wrist? guess what, there is probally something wrong.
Please just THINK before you post bigotry like that

Maybe I'm being too hesitant to call something an all-in because I got in a massive semantics argument about it not too long ago. EITHER WAY, Flash used to have an impeccable sense to defend that kind of stuff and it's sad to see him lose to it a lot.
