wtf is econ cheesing..are people just making up terms these days?

Econ cheesing as a term has been around forever ... I was always under the impression it meant playing super-greedy and/or planting hidden bases.

nexus first, and yeah, this is the counter to max roach. I lost to it yesterday too. Think protoss have finally learned the counter. Like finally.

blind 17 nexus pvz, cc first into fast 3rd cc, Ret droning to 70 drones with 2 lings and 1 spine

how are those things different from cheesing with 4 gate, 11/11 rax, 6 pool?

you are taking an absurd risk that is a complete coin flip hoping it pays off.

He probably is.

He said by MC winning, it'll definitely force an extra game, implying we'll see four games no matter what instead of the minimal 3.

I don't consider it an actual counter though, similar Stargate play was a good counter to the old 1/1/1 but was pretty bad against a lot of other builds

Plus it's an all-in. We'll figure something more versatile out

I hope the dong gets good too we need more consistent zergs. Leenock, losira are both disappointments..

When the player cuts too many corners (no army, no defense etc) in sacrifice for their economy. If unpunished, it is almost impossible to beat them in late game, but easily punishable with agression early game.

Stephano is so damn good, I don't get how he does it. I don't see Squirtle beating him but I'd like to see him try.


In this case: MC was too aggressive. He kept pushing out when he should have sat back and maxed. 3 base toss v 3 base zerg is a bad situation for the zerg.

MC pushed out with 147 supply against 200.

He was way ahead even before that. But I was pointing more to how Stephano just keeps crushing top Protoss after Protoss like it's nothing.

He thinks that ZvP is imbalanced in favor of Zerg. He even said P might need a buff.

Pretty funny how every protoss keeps bringing this up. You should mention too, how every terran say protoss is imbalanced yet have no problems against zerg


difference is they are just being bias for their OWN RACE.

Logic is not allowed.

So disregard what Nestea and DRG say and agree with stephano? I dont know whats balanced and whats not but that doesnt really make sense.

Econ cheesing is when you invest a lot in a later game economy but leave yourself extremely vulnerable to any sort of aggressive build early on.
