In which case I'd say it's more like early pressure than cheese, possibly a bit on the all-in side, but not really(since you know what your enemy is doing and it doesn't really matter if he scouts your baneling nest, not to mention that it's conceivable that a zerg with lots of lings can deny scouting altogether that early in the game).Isn't baneling bust vs Terran cheese aswell? Nice post  and: guardian = broodlord right?  A blind baneling bust without actually scouting the terran wall-in is a cheese in my book though. If he sees your baneling nest relatively early he can just make a proper wall and win. | ||

By this comment you reveal that you either are in a bad mood or are in a good mood but are a meanie. TossNub, they often overlap, but not always. For example, 14CC is cheese because ur dead if it is scouted early, but it does have a very clear followup (a normal game with economic advantage). | ||

There's nothing mean or bad about that comment whatsoever. From Zatic's definitions: Cheese: If scouted, the strategy fails and puts the executing player at a severe disadvantage All-in: All available resources are put into this one attack and no follow-up is being considered. There is overlap, but not complete overlap. | ||

While your comment to TossNub was technically true, I think the way you formulated the sentence might have been aimed at insulting him. Why else put such focus on what his comment revelead, instead on focusing directly on the misunderstanding he made? Cheers, good sir. | ||

It was specifically used to reference strats that were commonly thought probably should be nerfed a bit (again, huntresses being a good example depending on the patch.) Regardless of your definition, I'm 100% certain that the liquipedia explanation involving korean words is way off the mark. Calling things "cheesy" (to mean lame or dorky) is very common in english, and that's certainly where it comes from. | ||

For example, 14CC is cheese because ur dead if it is scouted early, but it does have a very clear followup (a normal game with economic advantage). Can you give me, a total noob, another example for cheese which is not all-in, since the 14cc is the only example for this? Also where is the difference between cheese and a "bold move"? Can cheese only happen in "early game"? Assume midgame - enemy has been on 1 expansion the whole time, so you're behind economically. Now you try to take 2 expansions (1 hidden) at the same time (while only having the army to defend one). By only taking 1 expansion you stay behind, because the enemy had his advantage longer. You just got even (so not really an option). But if the 2nd expansion is scouted and killed you're even further behind (definition of cheese). | ||

Can you give me, a total noob, another example for cheese which is not all-in, since the 14cc is the only example for this? Any kind of economic cheese. Hidden expos, for example. Also where is the difference between cheese and a "bold move"? Can cheese only happen in "early game"? You seem to be laboring under the belief that "cheese"="bad". It does not. It's simply "cheese". If you're behind and you have to cheese to get back to parity, do it. Don't be afraid of what things are called. | ||

Prior to the queen and spine crawler nerf: the build a hatch + cancel + lay egg + build spine crawler build was a good example of cheese that was not an all-in build. 2gate proxy is another example of a cheese build that is NOT all-in | ||

And by their very nature, they inflict way more damage in their first attack if you manage to catch someone with their pants down. | ||
