You're assuming everyone instnatly rages at any cheese attempt, that ain't true. Thing is, there are more 'real' games than cheesy games so I don't see what your gripe is. The players will obviously play to win, not to entertain. | ||

Seconded. Everything you've said has been said many times, just let it ride. If you honestly think you need to explain why proxying or cheesing can lead to wins, then you are clueless. It's an LR thread on a match being spectated and most people find cheese fucking boring OR they don't like seeing a popular player go down to it. That's it. | ||

But I love it how some players feel the need to lash out, hope that helps you sleep at night. Claim whatever you want, its fairly obvious why you would quote such a statistic after such a game. Likewise, I'm sure it helps you sleep knowing the only reason you lose to Terrans is "imbalance". On topic, excited to see the first zvz (i think?) of gsl. | ||

How many proxies have you seen in this tournament again? It's certainly not about doing it every game but when you mix in a random cheese strategy into your arsenal it makes you a much stronger player all around. This makes the sport stronger in the long run in that the top players have to be able to defeat it. Top level toss player? Can't beat cheese? Well you're not going to win a huge tournament. How is that a bad thing, it's not cheating comparing it to doping is stupid. | ||

Okay, that was a dumb question. JSLZenith is Terran  Seems like there are a lot of 1000+ Zenith players on the Korean Ladder. Popular name I guessEDIT: Is anybody still following the game? I'd like to know what's happening | ||

Oh dammmn conspiracy time!.... he threw the game. Think about it, top ladder player thinks he can't win the whole thing so decides to make some money. 1) scouts hilariously late 2) when he does scout game 2 he doesn't scout the main and "coincidently" misses both proxys. 3) responds horribly, pulling way too many probes/controlling poorly/not killing bunkers. | ||

Did you seriously just do that? Unreal... | ||
