His 9pool, stupid chancy shit against the standard 1rax cc opening is actually pretty good on a mech terran like upmagic. Dude got caught the 2nd time going double cc. Economic opening is not cheese though. I'm gonna have to do a writeup on this whole cheese business. A normal economic opening is not cheese. Ex: forge FE, 12 hatch, 1rax CC 14CC is definitely 'economic cheese.' | ||

I agree, I always counted cheese as a far earlier then normal production facility not inside the main. A BBS proxy is a cheese, a BBS in the main... well no one really does that but I wouldn't really consider that cheese. Easy to scout. A 9 pool never was and never has been cheese. It's always been a viable build, especially against a mech terran. Now it's still bleh that Savior really only won that game because of BO but that should get the message across that mech terrans can't always 14 CC. Upmagic didn't 14 CC the first time Savior went 9 pool and lasted a great deal longer. | ||

It's just that when Upmagic opens 14 cc vs. Savior, it's a cowardly cheese move. When Leta opens BBS against Flash, it's a clever strategy. Just the facts. | ||

He went double CC into double rax. Double. Rax. DOUBLE. DOUBLE. Man I'd love to know what would've gone down if he showed what he practiced. | ||

Well as much as i love Savior, i was still pulling for UpMagiC. Well, GG from the Maestro 2.0 Leta vs Flash 2-1 Flash TT.TT i guess the WL and double starleagues are killing you Hwasin vs Luxury 1-2 Well. Hwasin had to run out of feul somewhere. GJ to Lux for keeping his flame alive. GOGO MSL WIN Free vs ForGG 1-2 Free...you lost to ForGG?? Really? I want to cheer for you man, but you're making me miserable | ||

Anyway wait for the writeup. 14cc is definitely cheese, as is 5pool and BBS. 14nex usually is cheese in PvT, but sometimes it isn't on certain maps, because it doesn't lose to standard TvP (factory). on some maps 14nex can defend everything but a BBS (see Medusa or Katrina). 9 pool, especially without gas ZvT, is NOT cheese in any way, regardless of whether Upmagic is a mech terran or not. 14cc is not an "economic opening", it's just as cheesy as 5pool. Are you saying 5 hatches before pool or 3 nexus before gate is not cheese because its an "economic opening"? That's ridiculous. | ||

In my definition of "cheese" it is a build order to get the maximun number of units into an opponents base, with the opponent not knowing what is coming. 5 pool fits that , as does BBS. but 14 nex just secures an early expansion, much like a 14 nex or a 12 hatch. | ||

You're actually advocating that UpmagiC might have gone MnM??!!?!?!?! See the shock of him going double rax (as if this were a totally uncommon build) is really a showing that Upmagic never really does anything but mech, yea I would have been interested in seeing his MnM push myself. Is his control with MnM so bad? Is that why he avoids it? | ||
