That wasn't a DT rush or anything, that was just using DTs when your opponent has no detection. I don't see how that is in any way cheese.

Inc was completely outplayed, his macro wasn't even close to Darkforce's. He got back in it because the Protoss ball is sick and he did some DT cheese. Mechanically he was so far behind Darkforce.


DT cheese? WTF? That is strategy.
Eliminate detection then using cloaked units is a strategy, used in this real time strategy game

Mechanically behind? If the zerg doesn't have more units than the toss it is the zerg who's mechanics are lacking, not the other way around.

I don't even......


Yeah, the classic get 70 supply behind your opponent, snipe all detection and then spam DT's build. Smart strategy from Inc. No idea why I've never seen MC try it.

Can you please stop perpetuating this nonsense? A zerg will always max out well before a protoss if he goes hydra/roach.

Yes, it's very standard for the Protoss to be 70 supply behind.

That's exactly right. It's totally normal for a zerg to max out on hydra/roach while the protoss is at 130-140.

The second they are built it becomes cheese apparently. I think they are great to take advantage of a opponent not having any detection.

It's pretty standard for people in LR threads to consider any protoss unit that does something gimmicky/abusive.

Sometimes, players like to put some pressure on their opponent so that can safely expand.

gimics? when a base trade situations looks like its happening DTs are pretty much standard, incontrol took out the capacity to detect and therefore went for cloaked units. they worked and did a lot of damage. it was an excellent decision


Not disputing that it was a good strategy.

However incontrol wins more games agaisnt GOOD players with gimmicky play, rather than balanced play.

I doubt there is a high rated toss that uses dt's more than him.

There is a reason for that.


Just stop. He doesn't do gimmicky play, he does builds and play that punish his opponent. Just like in MLG against TLO, when he built the pylon in TLO's base. You call that gimmicky, I call that punishing the opponent for making a mistake.

Forcefail by incontrol, how he managed to send his sentrys close enough so the roaches could hit them from behind forcefield on ramp is pretty fail. He could have won the game right there with better micro.

getting a bit annoyed with catzpajamas casting. he says stuff that just isnt true. gateways going down left and right seems to be his favourite line, even when gateways arent under attack

So he was way behind and came back to win? Where I come from people are praised for that.

Yeah, I personally think DTs should be the standard when Zerg put down their third.

He didn't win. But the DT play was pretty good. People claiming that incontrol 'deserved' to win that are being stupid.

Being 40-50 food ahead is not that meaningful when it's in Roaches. Stalkers are almost twice as expensive as roaches and cost the same food.
