Because the best time to try cheese (if ever) is when you are ahead because even if he loses he is still 2-1 ahead.

He was up 2-0, that's a perfect time to try some cheese.


I can't really agree with that due to the fact that nAni scouted it right away and built his gateway earlier than WhiteRa did. I believe the correct response from WhiteRa would've been to cancel the gate.

He couldn't see the scouting probe.

I agree that he should have probably cancel it. But 2-0 is still a good time to try cheese, if ever. The fact that Nani scouted it was just bad luck. Doesn't mean he shouldn't have tried it. Cheeses are always fifty-fifty

I highly doubt WhiteRa intended Nani to scout his pylon. Yeah, maybe should have cancelled but he would be incredibly behind either way. Losing a pylon that early is horrible, and it would be 1 gate no cyber vs. 2 gate. I'm not even sure he knew it was scouted before it was too late, high ground and all.

It was a cheese, it didn't pay off. He's still up 2-1

I didn't question the cheesing in general... Just thought that it would've been the better decision to give it up when he saw that nAni's gate was coming up earlier.
Other than that, I agree with 2-0 being a good time to cheese, if ever.

You might be right, sir.

Appereantly he never did saw the probe scouting his pylon so that would explain why it backfired so much.

Not like he had an option once it was scouted? I mean cancelling isn't an option, it's just insta-loss. Microing zealots incredibly well away from opponent zealots and getting probe kills was the only way he'd be able to save that game.
