Great writeup, but the word "eco cheese" or "econ cheese" is one of the silliest words to ever be mentioned in starcraft, and was widely abused during Flash's reign. Please don't use that word, the correct term should be "greed", e.g "greedy play" or "being extremely greedy".

"Omfg Flash is terrible, he wouldn't have beaten Jaedong if he didn't econ cheese" *facepalm

Very nice writeup again though, enjoyed every minute reading it.

Probably one of the most eye opening articles out there. I can't even imagine the uproar when FD won those games. I know even though I was playing back then, I didn't know anything about this. Though I feel this was probably the best thing to ever happen to the zerg race (in terms of learning and play)
Do you see what I see?

Interviews like this one need to be thrown out whenever clowns start talking about Koreans have no personality. I love how a lot of Koreans seemed like they took lessons from WWE when they first came overseas to compete. Nada and MC come to mind easily. Need more of this.

Hey man, it shares all the features of a regular cheese, except it aims for late game dominance Nothing wrong with being cheesy, nobody thinks Flash is bad for bunker rushing or 14ccing or Jaedong is bad for 4pooling or any number of actual SC2 examples. If anything a proxy rax is just as greedy as having no defense, only it's greedy for blood instead of minerals.

Doesn't quite give me the same chills as I get every time I read God of the Battlefield.....but I guess that's because I was never a huge fan of Kim Won Ki.

Still great job, wonderfully written piece.

Great work, this is the kind of perspective that could easily be applied to BW games aswell.

HINT- Terrans, watch some flash and L2P mech.

Fruitdealer's story is still the most compelling in Korean SC2 to date in my opinion, it's fitting that he should be the first SC2 gamer to have an FE written about him.

GMarshal, you've done him proud, nice work ^^

Absolutely fantastic - soundtrack was amazing, and I stopped halfway to watch the highlight video again. A truly great story and one that will be remembered throughout Starcraft 2's history. We will look back and reminisce, at what was.

I love this article! It makes me happy that other people still love FruitDealer too. Maybe he'll come back for HotS?
