I just found out that PDD apparently blocks 20 broodlings per cast. 2-3 ravens could produce some really interesting results, but between broods/mutas and even some fungals/NPs it might not be a viable tactic. I'd still love to see someone experiment with that. | ||

He respects a lot of high-level players, but only the ones who don't have a reputation for cheesing or going all-in frequently. Not sure why you don't believe in coinflip builds, they definitely do exist and they're a risk like any other. Command Center first against Zerg without scouting is pretty much a coinflip. He's hoping that IdrA is cross positions or is dead-set on playing a macro game, and neither were true. Cheese is just a term for a risky strategy that relies on your opponent's lack of scouting to be really successful. It has its place in tournaments since it can be an easy way to take a game off of your opponent, but don't kid yourself and think that the better player always wins when cheese is involved. There is a reason players get mad when they are cheesed and why nobody has respect for players that cheese/all-in more often than they should. | ||

Each small mistake builds up and leaves a bad taste in the viewership's mouth. In some of the more sensitive viewership. I could not care less if the picture they showed was of ren and stimpy as long as the game is casted properly. | ||
