If you really want to talk about what you want to talk about then please please please PLEASE with cream on top just refer to early attacks as "rush", not "cheese". more like strategic play | ||

Starcraft has a risk reward system much like that of poker.. it's not to say early aggression isn't fair... if it fails you're at a huge disadvantage.. Larger maps are a type of anti cheese in and of themselves.. but interesting idea OP | ||

What is your next suggestion going to be, "No humiliation mode." Where nukes, units similar to Scouts, and pylon hearts get disabled if you have a significant lead? | ||

Please, kids, just don’t use the term “cheese” if you don’t know what you are talking about. And better, even if you do know, still don’t use it. It’s the most misunderstood term around here. While there is no clear definition on what is cheese, most will agree that it entails a strategy that relies heavily on deception and not being scouted or recognized correctly. But even that is not universally agreed on. A very early attack on the other hand is called a rush, not cheese. It does not primarily rely on deception and not being scouted, but on getting a military advantage extremely early. Both are not mutually exclusive, yet are not the same. Many rush builds are way more effective, or even only effective if not being scouted, however their main strength are the early units, not deception. On the other hand, there are “cheesy” strategies that involve no rushing at all. You can call a 14cc cheese just as you can a 5pool. With no clear and generally agreed on definition of “cheese”, it’s better to just not use it. For every situation you want to describe there exists more fitting terminology anyway. Calling every rush cheese is certainly wrong at least. | ||
