Because a Hail Mary is......a Hail Mary? A last-ditch desperate attempt that miraculously works despite all odds. Who doesn't love the underdog getting beaten to hell before coming back at the last second? And then we have a ling flood, creeping up behind the other player and shanking them in the back. Don't get me wrong, cheese is necessary part of Starcraft. But one player's workers dying to the other player's units is not entertaining by any definition (unless you are a big fan of one player of course, but even then it's more "Yay my favorite player won" instead of of "Yay look at workers dying") | ||

I'm exaggerating of course but you see what I mean. People have different expectations for game quality I guess, I loved GSL's group H with all my molecules Except there wasn't action. TIME got surprised and more or less died immediately. He let the lings in, mismicroed his reaper/hellion, and then it was just a drawn-out death animation. Action-packed cheese games are amazing, like when Maru and Inno both double proxied each other and the game came down to a single reaper grenade. But when one player just sucker punches the other and the game ends instantly? Not my idea of fun. | ||
