Damn I really want to see the socke vs sen game now. Seems like a lot of Socke's games have been epic macro matches

People like aggression and cheese from time to time. But where complaints arise is that every game IdrA plays in a foreigner tournament (hell, arguably GSL to) is him getting cheesed. At a certain point you just want to see a standard match.

If IdrA played one tournament with a focus on stopping cheese instead of wishing for a macro game, people would have to second guess their cheeses. As it stands, IdrA is inviting cheese. He's a greedy player and is convinced that will work. It usually does too, but people are finding holes in his mindset and he will likely need to change his style to stay competitive.

i love a well-executed cheese, and I agree that it makes the game more interesting


Cheese keeps people honest, it is the reason you can't 14 hatch on close positions on small maps. It is a good thing for the game.


This + Keeping cheese out of the game would make it "20 minute without attack please, this is a game were you have to build a base, etc," game

Love cheesy play from time to time. If every game would be 20 minutes+ macro games, i dont think many people would have fun watching them all day/night :p



If you were to play a 25 minute MACRO game, the game would be boring, it would essentially be, make units, make more units then your opponent and you would win.

Cheese allows us to have micro from both players, where some of the true skill is shown.

I think we can all agree that the only real cheese we saw today, was TLO spawning as Terran :p
How funny it would have been if he just continued playing.. Then at the first scout, ZOOM in to his opponents face!!

Machine vs Incontrol finals, calling it now.


That would be amazing, especially if inControl knocks him out in the Bo7.

PS Tyler fighting! Painuser is a tough cookie but I think he can pull this off.

I've seen him lost 3 match ups in the last couple of days, every time was due to all in attacks or cheeses.


Zergs have to FE. 1 base play is basically all-in.

I know!!! I have NEVER seen a game on Scrap Station where someone even took one of those bases with the small bridges (9 o clock and 6 o clock). At least not a high level game... I think I remember some PvT in beta where it went very late.

Maybe he shouldn't be such a macro-oriented player then. If someone is strong in a certain aspect, you hit him where he's weak. This is common sense. When the cheese stops working, there won't be cheese.


IdrA isn't weak to cheese. His problem is that's all that happens to him. Let's say IdrA has a 60% win ratio. If every game is a cheese, he still fends it off well enough, but that still means all of his losses are from cheese.

I agree with some others saying there has to be a time where IdrA accepts people wont play him straight up, so he should play more cautiously with later expands though. He suffers because he's the person to beat. People have ideas set up specifically for IdrA.

You have to get a second base but not necessarily before pool.

Sigh. A "greedy" zerg? What else was he supposed to do? And it's not really punishing something if you go for the proxy blindly..

Oh well. Zerg should probably "just learn to play better" again. Show us how it's done Liquid zergies! And Jinro, I want to see more Jinro!
