Sorry if it's been asked but I'm trying to avoid reading the thread too much because of spoilers. There has been any info about that. I would like to know too  I hope that Day9 would at least posted something. If it's corrupted then I would just watch the other ones, but know I'm just waiting it to be uploaded | ||

Watching the game I thought it was probably a bad move NOT to go all in. What I mean by that is he chose to expand again. The All-in move would have been to take his second gas and pump roaches instead of lings. I have a feeling that would have made the game even easier for him than it was. | ||

Now when Dimage wins using such a strategy vs. White-Ra my guess is that people project their ideas of fair-play on White-Ra and feel sorry for him, even if White-Ra can't possibly hold some kind of a grudge against Dimaga for using an aggressive strategy, because both play to win. The actual definition of cheese isn't anything like what it is used for in the above paragraph anyway, so it's at the very least sloppy to use it that way. | ||

I infinitely prefer his style to Idra's. Idra is so boring. How is making lings/banelings exclusively on one base while not teching vs a 2 base toss not all-in? Part of the game either way but still. :/ | ||

If you do enough damage to even up the economies but don't actually win, I would still call that an all-in. Just a successful one. Something is all-in because you're putting everything you have in an effort to get back in the game/win outright and failing to do so will mean you're dead. By your definition, it seems like there's no such thing as a successful all-in. | ||

An indisputable all-in would seem to be something that you simply can't come back from if it doesn't outright win you the game. But this terminology seems so awkward when you think about it. How is something an all-in if you expand afterwards? How is something not an all-in if you're at a huge disadvantage when your army gets squashed? (When are you NOT at a huge disadvantage after your army gets squashed?) | ||

He had like half the workers of Whitera, no expansion, and no way to deal with the Stargate that was coming up. If his attack failed, he would have lost. And that's what I would call an all-in. All-in is not really that overused compared to some other terms but I will say that people use it as if it's cheating or something more often than they should. | ||

Early aggression that you sacrificed economic power to execute does not need to be all-in. You just made an economic power-aggressive power trade-off.

(When are you NOT at a huge disadvantage after your army gets squashed?) It was all-in in the sense that he would lose 100% if he didn't break through White-Ra's defenses. | ||

I guess whitera did an allin wall-off. If it fails to hold, he loses. But seriously, I wouldn't call this an all-in, just early aggression. early aggression has a follow up if it fails. dimaga had no follow up and put evrything on a single attack. | ||
