If you don't know how to post in a live report thread by now, be advised: don't whine about game balance and don't bash players/casters/interviewers/staff/other posters. And don't start the USA USA USA!!! stuff.

wtf, chessed = manhandled?
Scout cheese that's been existence forever. Fail to hold it, fail to deal with it, continue to drag out the game to the point where your opponent is mocking you by building units that are nearly unviable in the matchup.

That wasn't cheese. That was 1 rax reaper. Destiny didn't respond to the bunkers right and just assumed goody wouldn't make bunkers after his drones pulled out.

Yeah, drones and lings.
Well you can't stop it with lings; by the time they're out the reaper is sat behind a building bunker or on the low ground and you can't kill it with slow lings (or even fast ones). I think if the bunkers go up you lose; you need to pull enough drones to stop it as someone else aid.
Jup, just kill the scv or get enough drones to kill the bunker before it goes up(is possible)
Not so easy with 1-2 Reapers killing your drones... ^^ As they said on the stream, many good players already died to this.

He has kind of a point. HSC is invites for skill but also for personalities since there is so much player interaction. Destiny and Incontrol might not be the best players but they are big personalities in the scene. Both have done pretty good casting. It's supposed to be kind of a chill tourney, not a super serious GSL level players only

That's why you stop it with drones AND lings. If he's building on the low ground it gives you time to get 2 queens and a spine crawler. You lose to it only if you don't know how to pull/micro drones or if you don't scout it.
