Hey man, Raynor here. Them cheesy boys been getting on my nerves as well. Thing is, as soon as you see with your scout their suspicious base, start massing your first unit, that way you can overpower the opponent's initial army by making a bigger one yourself, and since cheese builds are most of the time all-in you pretty much win if you defend the first few minutes, alright?

I'm having an incredibly difficult time dealing with "cheese" strategies. Whether they should be in the game or not, or called cheese or not the fact is they will always be there and it is so frustrating to lose to it, nearly all the time.

What am I to do or how can I increase my survivability from cheeses as a zerg player?

The very best thing you can do is find a practice partner to cheese you repeatedly.

Figure out what you need to do to hold off the cheese, and then figure out how to work that into your build.

some tips to make this more effective:
- Have an good idea of the "normal" build you want to play. It might not be viable, in which case you'll have to change it, but don't go with a 8 pool before you scout unless that's the game you want to play as standard.
- You want to just barely survive the cheese after playing hard - your "normal" build generally needs to be as economic as you can make it while surviving the early rush.
- Once you've scouted the cheese, don't be afraid to do things that don't fit in with your normal gameplan - spine crawlers, extra queens, whatever beats the cheese.
- Learn to recognize whether cheese is all in. The proxy pylon you're talking about slows protoss teching, but doesn't stop it, so you'll want to be getting to whatever it is that you normally build against protoss eventually, whereas a if you just survive a 6-pool, you win.
