Game 1: Cloud Kingdom Hero starts as the orange Protoss in the bottom left position. Squirtle starts as the blue Protoss in the top right position.
2:00min Both players go for normal Pylon-Gateway-Gas timing, neither of them is scouting just yet.
4:00min Hero scouts for proxy Gates and then sends his scout cross-map after starting the 2nd Pylon and the Cybernetics Core Both players take their 2nd Gas and a 2nd Gate, Squirtle is slightly ahead on the 2nd Gate but still not scouting at all while Hero sees everything that is going on in his base
Regardless of the outcome of this match, we'll have a perfectly balanced ro8 again. Good to see! Especially because it has more terrans then anything else :p

Love Hearts micro heavy playstyle, just need less slips in it and manage his macro a bit better while doing it and he would be really scary. Wish more would play like that since i enjoy midgame battles, who are pretty rare nowadays. But atleast I get to see a pvp now that could turn out interesting. People slowly start to go away from derping around in pvp.

Still, well played Hero for showing Heart that 1-1-1 isn't the only way.
Korean's have a different few on the strategies we call cheese. Some players get flak for only all-inning but that's because they become too predictable with that. If players mixes their play up with quite some early timings that is not seen as a bad thing.
Oh, I'm well aware that there is no such thing as "cheese" in Korea, it's just another strategy. It must just get frustrating when he all ins you every time you play. There's a difference between mixing greedy play, safe play and cheesy play together, and doing pretty much nothing but all ins or econ cheese.
