what do you mean? every game except game 2 on LT he tried some early marine push with SCVs, more or less SCVs than what he usually does, but still generally the same. I think it was interesting seeing a mid-game strategy that was effective for boxer.
Any early pressure against Zerg is actually quite intelligent play. The Zerg function by overwhelming with a stronger economy, so if you put on strong, early pressure, you force the Zerg to make units something they don't want to do early, they want to power drones for as long as possible and then just make enough units to hold, but if you put a ton of pressure on you'll normally freak the Zerg out enough to make too many units and then they won't have the drones to get to a lair quickly which really produces the units that both the other races struggle with, more so Terran players, however.

OMG how can you say that! the man won 13 games in a row and took 2 games from boxer.. he made some mistakes but everyone makes them..
He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

No you're right, the most balanced map in the game is totally zerg favored. Basically any map that isn't a free terran win is zerg favored. And even in metal, if the game is in close positions it's basically an auto-win for foxer just like the fruitdealer game.
the fruitdealer game I thought was close if I remember correctly? and I really hope that we get to see metal, it's fairly balanced (way more so than half of the other maps in the map pool at least

And still each one of them is 10 times better than any blizzard ladder map. Funny heh ? This destructible rocks thing on each 3rd expansion in 75% of the ladder maps is just a joke.

i have no idea what ur definition for the word "cheese" is, but after the first game, technically none of the games had cheese in them, even the first game is arguably "cheese"...

Pretty much. There is a 66% chance it will be a reasonable map for zerg and a 33% chance of being a terrible map for zerg. Meta definately isn't zerg favored, but they feel comfortable far away from people
EPT
Foxer vs Kyrix game 5 comes to mind
