Look, if you're the better player, scout it, defend it, counter it, even execute it yourself, especially in a BO5 where the better is suppose to win. And apparently he did. | ||

Despite the seemingly relatively high success-rate of 5 pool in the pro-scene (Jju, July, Luxury, etc.), it seems like not a whole lot of people actually even TRY it, much less in such a high-pressure situation. No, I am not joking. 5 pool is 5 pool. It doesn't take much "mental fortitude" to 5 pool. It's either a quick or a quick loss, to the hell with it. | ||

Cheese to me is all-in, it's do or fail. When cheese fails, the "cheeser" ought to lose. So when a cheese fails and the "cheeser" still wins, it's not the cheese, it's the other player and his lack of "mental fortitude" to me. If you get unnerved and can't hold your water steady, you lose baby! | ||

fOrGG is a fucking bitch because he has no chance in hell to beat Jaedong in the finals and i think he was jealous that Flash was supposed to meet jaedong so he thought up a plan to thwart this by cheesing him. he's a greedy little bastard who will lose 1-3 to Jaedong in the finals. no doubt. fuck fOrGGedit: FUCK FORGG!!!!! | ||

Then I cry myself to sleep. Seriousy though, I like cheeses. It means a fast paced micro game, and we don't get enough of those. | ||

Everyone knows you can't rely on cheese to win games consistently. I mean, I'm baffled when people made a big deal about July. This is the guy that all-out ling rushed OOv when he had firebats blocking his choke. Fucking July! | ||

So what happens when a pro cheeses a newb? Does your point still stick? It's not the strategy itself dude. It comes down to who pulls it out the bag. The more popular player tends to be seasoned vet like Boxer or July, who weigh their chances carefully and clearly aren't desperate for all-in wins, especially if they cheese in a MU that they are strong in. Who's a vet that is desperate? Gorush and his goddamned ZvP all-ins. | ||

Flash was probably so fucking sure he was going to beat fOrGG that he didn't practice that much, and instead started practicing against zerg. fucking fOrGG had to be a little cunt and do some unexpected shit, rob all of us, and most people who watch starcraft, of one of the most anticipated finals ever, since Flash and Jaedong have already played each other in 3 series and are equal in games against each other. i was really really hoping for the clutchest player ever vs the most dominant player ever in the most important tournament of the year and now we, all of us, can't watch it thanks to a little jealous bitch named fOrGG. edit: ......seriously flash? | ||
