I was trying to use this as a catch all. First I was thinking of what Tastosis said about Fruitdealer when he won the GSL, he did an economic cheese because he sort of looked like he was going all-in, then switched to mass drone pumping and came back in that one game against Rainbow(?). That made me think about Mules on gold and chronoing probes when you have a good defense. So basically anything that is risky but gives an unusual amount of economic advantage. Maybe expanding blind is a good example, yeah. Maybe faking a rush and then expanding in such a way that the enemy can't respond... like fake 3 barracks but really go 1 barracks expand. Or fake a 4 gate and take a gold???? | ||

So I guess every zerg cheeses in ZvT (*coug Muta *Cough) All these openings are cheese, but DT openings are not, stargate openings are not, fast roaches to harass teching terran is not, baneling busting FE terran is simply punishing him for being greedy and etc. Wow, I can well the bias already. Worthless thread IMO. Yep, basically every build in the game is considered cheese. thats what this community has turned SC into. if the game doesnt go into the 45+ minute mark, with every mineral in the game mined out, its considered all-in also. | ||

I remember a recent game where the Zerg got to about 60 drones, then stopped producing drones. He only produced units and went into aggression mode. People were like "he's all-in"... Can't remember which exact game it was but come on... I also remember a game where Protoss did a DT expand, and people called it "cheese"... The examples are aplenty. There comes a time when one must stop blindly categorizing strats. | ||

14+ is absurd maybe 4-5 for terran (1 base mass rax, proxy rax, bunker rush, proxy/2port banshee) more depending on how you count variations of these. EDIT: how could i forget marine+scv 'semi all-ins'  for z... early pool, roach rush, baneling bust.. 3, again more with variations on how many roaches or when the banes come.. perhaps slow drop but i've never seen anyone try that. protoss, proxy voids, proxy gates, 4 gate, cannon rush, DT rush (maybe, although less cheesy with the archon buff) so 4-5 again imo z has the worst cheeses because of larvae making any recovery so difficult, and they are very scoutable as mostly require you to not expand which will always raise suspicions, | ||

True that. Everything that is just not defending is an all-in because I think Idra has put into the minds of many players if you attack you are all in because there is a chance that you don't do enough damage. | ||

+1 Korean 4 gate is when you go all zealots an pull workers off gas right? PvP only I think. +3 regular fast 4 gate vs all races. +2 fake expand into 4 gate, sentry heavy. Saw it against Z and T in GSL. +2 dark templar rush. I think it's garbage PvP, might work on ladder PvZ, and see it GSL PvT. Personally I think it's very risky though. +2 Air, usually voidrays, + gateway unit rush against Z and T off one-base. +1 Double stargate voidrays... saw someone try it in old GSL. Maybe someone against Idra. Is it legit? +2 Blink stalkers from one base. Almost forgot this but saw Naniwa do it vs Thorzaine. PvT. I guess you could consider it an all-in for PvP, but it seems more like a transition build to me. So I get 12 or 13 that I can think of that seem different and usable. I don't think there are any obvious all-ins with heavy phoenixes, immortals, colossus, or other tech that I can think of. Maybe somone else would consider 3 gate robo immortal a usable 1 base strat, but it doesn't seem like it can kill very well. If we get some decent links that aren't obvious, I'll put them in the OP. Some obvious ones to follow. Links: Korean 4 Warpgate http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Korean_4_Warpgate_All_In_(vs._Protoss) | ||

(profit) 4.maybe 5.never seen this, don't know 6.yes, but you can't list every possible point in the game as a point where terran can pull all workers and all-in as a seperate cheese. 7.sounds pretty solid to me. 8.yes 9.oh shit he built hellions gg. 10. yeah. 11.isn't that what terran wants to do every game? marine tank is what terrans go vs z.. 12.essentially the same as 6 but not as good 13.isn't that just a hidden 2rax? it's a little cute but not like he can't recover. 14.generic posting in forums and whining about terran edit: total 4 yes and 2 maybes imo btw... i play z | ||

Pretty much unless every player goes for a fast 3rd its a 2 base all in in his mind. He always say zerg has no aggressive option versus toss. Yet when we watch Nestea play. There are so many 2 base timings to abuse against certain toss builds like ling/hydra versus pheonix opening+roach ling versus 3 gate sentry expand. | ||
