Well everyone knows this build,you constantly build queens till 4 or 6,at 6 minutes you take third base and 2 gasses,get speed with first 100 gas,double evos,lair,baneling nest etc...

I think I replied with a snarky comment to some nonsense he had written at some point so I assume his comment is pay back for that. In any event, yes, you're right. Many people call such builds macro "cheese". I didn't mean it pejoratively (as applied to Oz). He executed the build so well that Stephano was kind of out of luck when he half committed to punishing it. Oz did that same build against Nestea on Daybreak and Nestea had a similar initial response to Stephano (with a lot of lings that did nothing) but then he transitioned into mutas and abused Oz's delayed tech and won. If Stephano just took a fourth, he wins because he's a lot better than Oz assuming they enter the midgame on about even footing.

Oh, so you're only allowed one wording per a thing. I didn't get the memo.
Does it apply to player nicknames? Does MC have to choose between ObamaToss and BossToss? Hm, maybe no nicknames at all, since he is already called MC.
Also, even if I disregard that, what you said isn't even true. Being greedy is squeezing extra drones prior to building a pool or prior to pumping army (imagine Ret). Doing something like 4 hatches before pool (or even 3, I'm no expert) would clearly be an extreme version of greed, and would justify the term 'macro cheese'. I'm not familiar with the specific game you're talking about so I don't know wether Oz's build falls into one category or another, but the point applies to what we're discussing now: wording and semantics.

youll never ever hear a caster ever utter the term macro cheese, youll hear them say greedy plenty though because greedy is the accepted term for builds that sacrifice safety for economy just like MC is the accepted name for MC (unless your in Korea cause im pretty sure they pretty mcuh only use real name) using a term like macro cheese that was just invented on the spot and probably only uttered seriously by 5 people in the history of ever only annoys and confuses people

Humans made up the language and continue to do so every day, we weren't given a list of words which we can use and directions how we should use them by some God. You could say that any wording that makes sense just waits for a person to popularise it.

Good Luck at MLG! Hoping for the best after your trip to Korea.
Guys, this is the Stephano fan club, not the terminology discussion thread.

Stephano plays the old style opening ZvT of getting your gas at 17 supply. After the queen buff, gasless 4/6 queen opening became the standard because it allowed you to get an early third while droning heavily. So the trade off is that you sacrifice tech for a great ecomony which eventually allows you to tech to BL/Infestor faster.

even before the queen buff Zergs were starting to take later gases the queen buff just amplified it even more (well that and the hellion nerfs)

Well cheese generally means playing extremely risky meaning, if your opponent scouts your cheese, you usually just flat out lose the game. Ex, If i play a protoss who is cannon rushing and I scout his early pylon and kill any cannons before they finish, the game is essentially over. The same goes on the opposite spectrum. If im playing a ZvT and I scout a terran doing a three cc build off one bunker, I can do a roach bane all in and the terran can't hold it if controlled properly on my end. So Macro cheese does exist.

actually if he goes fast tanks, lifts his natural and holds his ramp hes pefectly fine as soon as he has a single sieged tank the roach bane all-in fails miserably

how was that a wine......? if your opponent blind counters your all-in they should be able to hold
but since Terrans go fast tanks aproximately one game in every million its not like it really matter (not that anyone does the roach/bane allin anymore)
