DT's were an excellent choice and he was safe light on units because he scouted a gasless expand from jinro. Choya was safe, if you can't see that you should be laddering or watching day9 VODs to learn this game.

Are people still debating whether DT early game is cheese? Why? Because protoss has limited units? Let's say he Jinro had a turret up and 1 DT dies. Choya still has map control with DTs (deny unit scouting, control watch towers etc). If Jinro wants to move out to attack, he either has to get himself a Raven. Early on that delays his tech a lot, which means later stim/combat shield/factory/ghost tech etc. Otherwise, P can split his DT's up and force T to drop mules, that means T's reinforcements is slower, if T has no scans remaining, he MUST retreat to wait for another scan. While doing all this, DT's buys tons of times for the additional gateways P makes to increase his army count fast.

How is that cheese? He expanded faster than Jinro :f Jinro with bad scouting. It sucks but dont blame Choya


Gosh, you can always save up 400 minerals and expand, it doesn't mean anything.

It was absolutely cheese, when you warp in 3 DTs it's completely all in. There was no way choya could have protected his "expansion", it was just part of the deception.


It would have been cheese if Choya somehow pulled his probes with the attack or something. If the DTs failed utterly, he could have tried to get a wall or at least a few cannons at his natural and build up more zealots/stalkers before transitioning into whatever. Going fast DTs and attacking with them is not cheese - it's just a form of pressure.


If DTs failed choya would be dead with zero chance of recovery.

Going fast 3 DTs is absolutely cheese. There is a DT expand build that's somewhat stable - but this isn't anywhere close to that.

Well then, if Choya had gone DTs (which he did) "Jinro would be dead with zero chance of recovery", so therefore, what Jinro did is cheese. Amirite? Because you know, his build was instant lose to DTs. Get it? This is stupid, if it was the other way around people wouldn't care.

I've noticed that Jinro has been quite susceptible to unorthodox strategies in the past few months. Seems like he just hasn't found the time to sit down and figure these timings and strategies out. Let's hope he can regroup in the lower bracket.


Void ray pressure and dt expand are super common in Korea.

Punished for being to greedy, i dont why Terrans blow all the CC energy on mules so early when they are vulnerable to DT rush


Terran needs MULES early game. If a Terran player isn't MULing properly and a good Gateway Timing push comes, they'll lose the game. You can say that Jinro lost because he was greedy or didn't scout enough, but what it comes down to is that Dark Templar are the stupidest thing in the game. They give free wins to Protoss players who don't deserve them, such as Choya over Jinro. Or how about Puzzle beating MMA. Puzzle would have lost first round were it not for the stupidity of a unit that instantly wins you the game (anybody who didn't watch those, basically Puzzle DT rushed two games in a row, MMA forgot Missile Turrets, and later in the game despite MMA microing far better and outplaying Puzzle, he was too far behind.

Basic recap of those games:
Game 1: Jinro plays far better than Choya and wins with great play and NUKES!!!
Game 2: Choya abuses Metalopolis and wins because of a map imbalance and cheesy play.
Game 3: Dark Templar.

Only one of those games is worth watching, I bet you can all guess which one it is.



DTs are no different than cloaked banshees, you can call it a build order lose, but all the same, if you are playing an opponent who is known for this sort of tactic then you have no one to blame but yourself

Jinro is fantastic player and he plays the game the "right way", but sometimes he is frustrating to watch cause he keeps dying to what most people meet in gold\p[lat division. His late game is fantastic to watch if he makes it that far

I don't watch GSL much, but hasn't Nestea lost to bunker play from terrans? I mean you meet that in gold/plat division and it doesn't mean at all that Nestea is a bad player.


Not recently.

Cloaked banshees are nowhere comparable to DTs.
DTs have unlimited cloak, banshees do not.
DTs start with cloak, banshees need them researched.
DTs kill workers in one shot, banshees in two.
DTs are produced by the very beginning production building, making higher number production [like 3 at once to split everywhere] far easier than starport production of banshees.

I'm not saying anything about overall game balance, but it's just absurd to put banshees on the same level.

Hmmm not sure if trolling or Painuser?

hes basicly right though so how would he be trolling? Also would be the same vs a toss or a zerg where no detection = auto lose or huuuuuuge economic damage where later you lose because of it.

Because he's defending his friend and fellow teammate who has absolutely no reason to get hated on? The Choya hate here is completely unwarranted and you know it. Don't blame Choya for Jinro's mistakes. I love Jinro as much as the next guy, but he made mistakes that lost him the games.

remember the time when fxo absorbed fOu.
well choya is on fOu.
now boss is defending his player


Afaik Boss and Choya are pretty good pals as well (something about Boss paying for Choyas trip to MLG as Choya helped em out when FXO came to Korea), so putting in a word for your mate and team member against the mass retardness of people being dicks to Choya who doesn't deserve it at all.

Children please, read the sticky, stop the petty fucking arguments about cheese. Choya won fair and square - can't believe there's some idiot saying he hates him and wants event attendees to disrespect him...what a dick.

Terran has scan earlier on, while Protoss needs Robo and observer or cannons.
Gateway, Cyber Core, Twilight, Dark Shrine vs Barracks, Factory, Starport with Tech Lab.
Banshees can be repaired, DTs die in 2 seconds.
Banshees can run away, DTs once found are dead.

I can do this too. What's your point?

Still don't know how that was cheese or an all-in.

If the DT's failed? A setback for Choya, but he could transition into a very normal game. Jinro just played that wrong. Stop bashing Choya for something Jinro should have scouted/been prepared for.

The reason why Choyas build sucks: Its fucking unsafe. He would've died to ANYTHING except for what jinro ended up doing. Choya just threw a dice and he got extremely lucky and won.


LOL please go play the game.

NO ENGY BAY NO SCANS is safe?! Jinro played extremely risky and greedy and payed for it. He didnt even scout it.

Choyas build would've died to: 2rax pressure, 3rax, 4rax allin (obv), cloaked banshees etc. Choya PRAYED that jinro wouldn't do any of that and won.


The what if game can be applied to every series. I am not going to bother getting into that kind of reasoning.

Also. Jinro went cloaked banshees. And theres this thing called scouting, y'know?

Quote for truth.

Jinro had a hole in his build, Choya put a shotgun through that hole and pulled the trigger.
