If "cheese" is defined as strong all-ins, there should be 0% disagreement that Terran has the strongest (Tank/Banshee/Marine, Raven/Tank/Banshee/Marine, 6 Naked Rax, 2 Rax + SCVs, 3 Rax, etc. etc. etc.) Cloaked banshees ARE cheese. If you scout it they won't do anything at all. The only matchup where they aren't would be TvT, and thats due to mobile detection being harder to attain. | ||

I always defined cheese as an all-in that will only work if it isn't scouted or you get lucky. This all-in is pretty easy to scout (low ground wall-off) but at the same time, low ground wall-off doesn't necessarily mean this build. I've done it and followed up with a CC on 18. Generally people will overreact to the wall-off and fall way behind economically. I guess I would agree with you. Since it's easy to scout and less easy to prepare for, it's really an all-in and not a cheese. | ||

As im sure you know T: Bunker - win P: Senties -win Z: Make shit that isnt drones - win If its scouted, it loses 100% effect as its very very easy to counter. The whole point is that its bitch difficult to scout. | ||

When I play against this, the T never CCs. I would be equally as rage-filled if you CCd on 18 because I do shift my build order to react to this and I play extra defensive (and fall behind economically). | ||

Even if he double CCs on 18 and you dont expand for 5 minutes you should still be ahead economicly... | ||

I think the zasz was saying he sometimes do a wall off on the bottom of the ramp, then go for 18 cc instead of 3 rax. | ||

I feel like this build would be better if he skipped the OC, simply because having mules won't change if you win or loose. Depending how much damage you're doing with the group of marines you have in their base, its nice to mule to be able to stream a couple more marines just in case | ||

Oh wait...... Oh btw have you heard of combatex? Cannons/2 gate proxy in master/GM and oh look hes really really good at it and rapes top players. Before you post think about what youve written. If its silly, dont click that post button you can open DT and transition into a macro game quite easily...it's a pretty standard build to go vs T and Z. you dont need to really cut probe production and can expand behind it quite easily. T definitely has the most varied amount of all ins. | ||

Due to the defavorable concave when waling at the bottom, the zerglings have much more surface area than your scvs. I haven't actually tested this but I'm quite certain that they out-dps your ability to repair. | ||
