What? 12 gas openings in tvp are often designed to expand afterwards, since successfully 1 base all inning a protoss who has a MSC doesn't really exist anymore. He cheesed vs DRG. Other two were pretty aggressive openers but hardly what you'd call cheesy. | ||

not with a CC o.o its pretty standard, and can transition into lategame, although you need to do some damage since your bio upgrades are generally delayed but you dont really sac econ to do it, just stim/shield timing and upgrades | ||

Thats like saying a 1 base roach all in with a follow up hatch isn't a cheese | ||

He didn't build a CC behind it, he wasn't ahead despite his 11kills on workers. He was fully relying on Tails attacking into him and not getting detection, and Tails delivered. | ||

He was relying on tails losing every single zealot he had without doing damage, on tails collosi attacking refineries until they were killed by vikings, and on tails archons patiently waiting behind the immortals, before waltzing into mines. The fact that all of that shit is required + a hell of a lot more for the game to even be winnable by maru after his 11 probe killing 'harass' tells us that it's definitely not a cheese. rofl. I'm sure the 1/1/1 siege tank into raven build off one base is as standard as it gets, and I should be ashamed for having the gall to call that a cheese! | ||

He expanded behind the first drop in that game, that's not a cheese. | ||

If they werent a cheese, then they would be played. But as is, such builds rely on the opponent fucking up his scouting/reaction, which is the exact definition of cheese. | ||

This game greatly misses an early and a midgame, which is so bad that a lot of people actually call you a cheeser if you don't NR15. | ||

I don't know what you expect more, 11/11, 1-1-1 drop into drop into cloak banshee, 2 blink rushes, 2 oracle rushes, another 1-1-1 drop... | ||

It's just going to get better in the upcoming rounds. I'm actually pretty pumped about SC2 for the first time in... ever? Let alone for the real playoffs. You should be too. Great teams, great players, and people putting it on the line. I say bring it. | ||
