I feel like Kyrix should took the gold right after cancelling hatch in his natural. Tester wouldn't have done much against that because he had no units.

I thought Kyrix responded pretty well to the cannons, but baller forcefields from tester as always just completely screwed him over. And amazing positioning and warp-in timing. Would've been cool to see whether Tester chronoboosted his WGs when he saw the banelings.

If you can tell your opponent before the game that you're going to do a strategy and you'll still be fine - that's not cheese.

Kyrix actually did an AMAZING job coming back from his early mistake. If sSKS hadn't had those perfect forcefields on the banelings, saving his zeals and sentires, Kyrix might have won the game.

It's only cheese if there is no a follow-up plan. Ssks was forge-expanding at same time, thus it's not cheese or all-in?

It's an aggressive forge expand that was there to punish zerg fast expands. There was a follow through behind the strategy, so it's not cheese. Also, it's SKS

Didn't kyrix made too much drones and not enough units ? Or there is just no way to come back from that ?

Yes at the end he lost cause he didnt have enaugh units. But he would NEVER be able to come back with like 10 Drones or what he had after the cannon rush. So he lost cause he had not enaugh units but it was " a good way to lose" cause he would lose the anyways with less drones

A lot of people don't recommend the Tester game which is surprising, zerg players hurt or something lol.

What's the point in recommending a game that's basically over in the first couple of mins, using a cheese build that's very popular on ladder.

Calling Tester's forge expand cheese is like calling MVPs 2 rax pressure on Fruitdealer cheese.

It isn't. They applied pressure to prevent the Zerg from getting their 2nd hatch up and running efficiently and then they were in a huge lead.

He could have come back if Tester had left him alone for a long time, but there is no way somebody like Tester would make that mistake.

You can play the game 100 times after that cannon rush and Tester would win 100 times with ease no matter what Kyrix does. If he goes allin, Tester will stop it with cannon and sentries. If he drones, Tester gets 4-5 gates and attacks before Kyrix can get units out. It's impossible to come back from.

Hell, Tester can even tech to voidrays or phoenix or whatever he pleases really and still win

Lol, I love how this forum is full of people calling that cheese.
The only reason that was a cannon rush and NOT a forced cancel of his hatch is because Kyrix didn't cancel.

Only reason the game was just a little good was because kyrix reacted the way he did. 80% of the time you would see cancel followed by one base roach all in, but I guess people would still think tester ROCKS in such a game...
