If there was no risk of rushes and early attacks, people would do nothing but mass workers and expand early game, and it would be really boring to watch. Thats what i hate about wc3 is that everyone has a planetary fortress in their base by default. | ||

Pro humans t1 tower rush NEs sometimes. Also can die while trying to xpo, or occasionally bolt/surround enough stuff while getting xpo up the other guy ggs. There's also UD double crypt ghouls vs NE, and NE has various mass t1 strats which are in use and lead to early strong pushes which can kill. And 10min is actually enough to get t2 up, there are lots of early t2 rush strats. | ||

He means that strategies shouldn't be considered cheeses but just more aggressive strategies, or risky or w/e. Different people have different ideas of what cheeses are so it can get confusing. I think SC players generally consider a wider amount of strategies to be cheese because in SC even the slightest risk when it backfires its a huge deal, at professional level its rare to see anyone comeback if his cheese build does not do significant amount of damage. | ||

Let's be honest, his insane macro skills make him a cheese magnet. Who wouldn't want an early advantage against him? Idra has played very well in this tourney, he can handle cheese often enough. | ||

A very early rush strat or an overall strategy that either succeeds or loses you the game if it fails? Hm, second definition is ok, though I think you can "cheese" but have a good follow-up. Like, back in SC1, 8 rax in the middle into bunker rush is cheese, but there is/was a possible follow up with either an expo or fast vulture. Meanwhile if you do 8 rax bunker rush and bring all your SCVs that'd be more of an all-in cheese. | ||

Though to be fair to Ace, he did this kind of opening to Artosis as well, so Idra should've seen it coming. | ||

The way I see people talk about it, it's like a bad thing to do or atleast if you win you get looked down at for "cheesing". | ||

Oh I definitely agree with you both, it's just sad seeing people write off reaper rushes and similar as cheese when they are as legitimate as any of the other possible openings. | ||

Alot of people just think thats a stupid way to play | ||

6D Zergling rush, is either win or lose if it fails. You can call it cheese or super risky. 7D Zergling rush, you can have a pretty good follow up and keep pushing your opponent in a defensive situation. It's a very well calculated strategy on some of the maps base on the distance between each other, the amount of minerals you can get from your workers and your opponent's possible amount of defence force. That's why when Loner did the 6D rush the day before yesterday, his couch, one of the Chinese commentator said that Loner is playing too risky and should do a 7D rush instead of 6D. 5D Zergling is stupid. | ||
