Why do people refer to that as cheese, because he used void rays? It was just a timing attack, wasn't a proxied stargate or an all in. If it isn't zealots and stalkers its hurr durr cheese amirite?

Cheese is a pejorative expression which refers to a strategy that is highly unconventional and designed to take one's opponent by surprise.

Minus the 'highly' I think that about sums it up.


Quoting liquipedia?

"In general, cheese is hard to beat if not scouted but easy to defeat if it is scouted."

He scouted it before the first VR was even out, responded by building addons instead of pumping marines and didn't get enough bunkers up.

"If a build order classified as Cheese fails, the player using it will usually be far behind in the game."

As it was not an all in and it wasn't pure voidrays (he had a sizable groundarmy aswell) he would have caused considerable damage even if he had been forced to retreat so again it doesn't apply here. Not to mention he would have gained map control regardless as the terran would have to turtle up.

"Finally, the usage of the term is often restricted to the victim of the "cheesy" strategy, to play down the opponent's achievement. "

Now that sounds about accurate of this situation.

He scouted it late the voidray was almost complete. And if the rush had been scouted earlier and failed I'm pretty sure the protoss was at a significant disadvantage.

-_- The thing is that the chance to deal damage is so high that there's no real way that ITR could easily have defended it even after scouting it without taking any damage and still being in a substantial lead. Do you really call a 1rax 1-marine 2-marauder with concussive an allin because you're behind if you deal no damage and lose all your units? No, because you're 99% guaranteed to deal some damage with okay micro.

I'm not calling anything 'allin'. I'm calling it cheese. If rainbow had better scout timing he could have seen the stargate building and build ample marines to make it a lot less effective. He was pretty much caught with his pants down. Although as already mentioned it was probably a bad decision to go reactor on barracks once he spotted it.

By calling something a cheese, you're calling it an allin. Please learn the terms before arguing.

Argue more than semantics before pressing 'post'. It was my understanding that 'Cheese' more specifically defines play that is unorthodox and unexpected whereas 'Allin' refers to any play that looks to end the game right there be it at the beginning or mid game with SCVs for example.

Either way, I'll agree to disagree because there's a new match on and I don't want to spam this topic arguing with you. =)..


Cheese - because of negative the connotation - is often used to describe unorthodox play that is inherently weak upon scouting, and often will die without the all-in. Otherwise, if you aren't set back because of the attack, then it was just a timing attack of sorts.

@Choya - Sending that second observer in doesn't really do that much =p

I love rainbow but he was just as outplayed as choya was here.

I wish people would stop trying to degrade the validity of the other players win vs. rainbow..

Those banshee's have so much DPS, range, cloak and decent speed.

Good play by hannibal

Edit: Cheese or not cheese. I don't understand one thing, why building cloaked banshees is a standard strategy while DTs are cheese/allin?

Because banshees are safe. Imagine if you could transition out of DT's into something like ravens without having to build any new structures.

DT's are a dead end for tech. Even if you dont want ravens, you can just swap your techlab over to something else and start making medivacs or vikings.

Depends on the timing of the DTs, but generally banshees can get away a lot easier than DTs.

I guess it's because it's not exactly the same, banshees are harassing workers while void rays are destroying the whole fucking base.

Anyway rainbow made mistakes (should have focused the VR whith his bunker, should not have made that reactor and build a 2nd bunker earlier instead)
But blaming his scouting is not fair, he couldn't scout the front and had a great reaper scout. Blaming his scouting althought he scouted as soon as humanly possible isn't fair.

That scv was so close to scout that hidden DT tech (Dark Obelisk?), hidden at the edge of another nat.
If only P would wait longer and get more Dts instead of attacking a depot

That game was so sweet. Pulling all of P forces including all Stalkers to sneak a cloaked Banshee in AND kill all of the zeals. And then keeping P in his base for good with 2 Banshees, keeping them both alive till the end of game.

Current game: TvT proxy rax fails
