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 nexus first 7 gate only counter to max roach for protoss? seems legit..

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

yeah.. its pretty blind, but its actually quite difficult to hold especially if a zerg only knows max roach 3 base. Still, I would say it works until diamond.

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

people have been tossing that idea around forever, where've you been?


what is it suppose to mean exactly lol?

an example would be if zerg powers drones really hard in a time where he has no way of confirming toss/terran won't just push and kill him. He has not attained enough scouting information to confirm a push is not coming and is essentially crossing his fingers as he has no way of stopping said push if it does come. It's a really risky decision/build (as cheese usually is) that if you get away with it will pay off big time.

Rofl, MC must have been confused when he saw the Spore Crawler.

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.


Oh.. so its just REALLY greedy play (very high risk, hence the "cheese"), with perhaps a bit of metagame involved
Interesting

Meanwhile, MC in a pickle

Edit: or maybe not

So econ cheesing is basically what FD did in GSL1 (and rightly so considering how imba Terran was back then).

Come on day9, Stephano stopped to drone at 48 drones instead of 60 that's why he can defend >_<. Also the pylon was not nearly as well placed for MC.
