Kal had something like 30% winrate for the greater part of last year, I don't blame STX for deciding to drop him, especially when he probably had one of the higher salaries of all the players on the team.
Of course, now he's actually winning so...

If he pulled that many SCVs and failed then he would have like 15 SCVs left plus a ton of lost mining time against a 12 nexus opening, which would basically be complete economic gg. In fact instances of this have happened where Terran pulls a fuckton of SCVs, kills the nexus, then loses the game because of how much it hurts your own economy (upmagic vs stork). You rarely ever see terrans pull that many scvs for this sort of thing because of that, and Last just wanted to end it right there instead of doing what I would call the "standard bunker rush response" that kills a couple of probes and causes toss to lose mining time while expanding behind mines.
e: also I don't give a shit whether it's cheese or not, only that someone called it the standard bunker rush response which it was not

right, i just checked that out. notice how the bunker rush with a ton of scvs is exactly the example they use
i don't have much invested in this debate so i'm happy to concede the point, i just want to make it clear that i wasn't simply throwing a pejorative term around - i don't view it as a pejorative (i love the occasional 4pool, for example) and i also feel pretty strongly that i have a decent understanding of the term.
sorry if i offended anyone, especially since i feel it was a well-played game and a well-timed attack by last.

STX didn't "drop him". Once he finishes his Air Force ACE years, I bet he'll return, if STX still exists.

An all-in is not cheese. I don't think anyone is disputing that last was going all-in with that attack. From wikipedia's definition of cheese, based on last's actions: -Cheese is a pejorative expression which refers to a strategy that is highly unconventional -and designed to take one's opponent by surprise. -In general, cheese is hard to beat if not scouted but easy to defeat if it is scouted. Unconventional? Nope, it was a standard response to early protoss greed, especially in close positions By surprise? Yes, but wasn't planned from the beginning of the game. Hard to beat if not scouted? Doesn't apply because a bunker rush is impossible to scout beforehand. It's a spur of the moment response to the opponent's build.
from the tl wiki:
"Supposed Origins
During a broadcast game on September 16, 2009, OGN commentator Um Jae Kyung (엄재경) briefly discussed the difference between a bunker rush and a "cheese" rush. According to his explanation, the term "cheese" originated from the word "cheater's" (words in Korean are sometimes shortened by the middle syllables, so 치터즈 [chi tuh zu] would become 치즈 [chi zu]). The strategy is characterized by, as opposed to a simple bunker rush, a practically unbeatable combination of most of the Terran's SCVs and a very quickly assembled group of marines. Because both Protoss and Zerg basic units are unranged, SCVs can effectively prevent the ranged marines from being destroyed by obstructing the path between the units, giving the marines a tremendous (and thus unfair) edge."
i don't think of this as an unfair advantage or a cheating strategy, though - shy could easily have cheesed too, it's not like only one race gets to cheese

...
By definition, if it's conventional then there should be no surprise.
Cheese has nothing to do with whether it was planned. By your definition, a 4 pool is not cheese if the player forgot to build drones.
Of course you can scout it. In fact protoss almost scouted it last game.
Editing your post and replacing it with an insult. Classy.

No, you are unfortunately right on both aspects. =(
Cemented by Kal's post-game interviews...
Regardless, one can only hope...Even Goojillas can't abandon their BFFs.

i remember a lot of rumors going around about stx before the new pl format and team structure was finalized. i remember an especially odd one where stx was apparently planning on replacing every single player on their team. obviously they didn't and i'm not sure where the rumor came from. i think people were pretty scared about mbc ceasing to broadcast, and of course about mbc, wemade, and oz disbanding, so anything seemed believable
