All cheese strats can go HORRIBLY wrong if countered. Say 2 proxy gateway, some quick lings, marines or z's plus some worker help, you may aswell count your chickens before they hatch. Cheesing is in some ways a lot harder then microing up because it takes a lot of macro. If you can pull off a good cheese, its fine but its at A LOT of risk.

People are not reading the thread properly and repeating discussions now, the problems highlighted are to do with those who cheese 24/7. Who wants 50% of their games to be defending cheese, even if you win 100% of the time.

And for those who say winning any way is acceptable, no point in you commenting here really is there? Go do some of those 6pools that make you the 'good player' you clearly are.

I can get a bit annoyed when people just want a fast win and cheese their way to diamond but its fun when you counter it and they leave immediately.

There is no point in practicing timing push builds if u cannot handle cheese, I'm 100% fine with cheese in the game.


Not accepting cheese as 100% right and in it's place is like not wanting pre-flop raises in poker.

Um....no because that's (pre-flop raises) standard.
Cheese is more like aggressive bluffing.

Anyways, it's a part of the game and you can't do anything about it.

It's a part of the game and I guess most of the people, who are complaining, just did mistakes of their own, e.g. late scouting. If you're at a point, where you know how to handle the different builds, you probably won't have a lot of problems against it. People who want "noble" victories just aren't using the full potential of the game.

The Diamond league in American servers is a cheese-fest at around 300 points...I have never played a protoss who didn't cheese.
It is what it is...

Cheese is part of the game. If there was no cheese there would be no tension in the early game.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Yeah they always two some chessy 2-gate zealot thing instead of letting me fast-expand in peace so we can have a nicely balanced mid-game. Oops, is my probe showing?

Sounds like anyone not cheesing could win easily by playing safe?

Good players will often cheese once or twice in a bo5. If the same rate of cheese doesn't exist in the ladder then overly economic and risky openings will be more successful than they should.

People complaining about cheese are just bitter. Either you aren't cheesed more than what is necessary to keep you honest about not playing too economically or you're being cheesed so often that you can gain an advantage by playing safe.

Just adapt.

The problem won't get to that point specifically because of the same things you mentioned. Cheese players aren't hard to deal with. If cheese becomes anything more then a minor annoyence for some players, then you're going to get a lot of practice against it whether you want to or not.

If someone cheeses 100% of the time, they aren't going to go anywhere. They're going to get a decent ladder spot and get repeatedly beat by anyone better, will never win any kind of BO series or tournament, and won't even come close to being a recognized SC player.

Players who cheese all the time aren't a problem (unless you lose all the time against them).

only cheese i really hate is the proxy reaper (im toss) seems this comes out a little too early (stalker prbably just started building). also when randoms six pool thats the worst. occasionally i will lose to cannon rushes but thats normally cuz im asleep behind the wheel and imo prob the least aggravatin cheese.
fuck the haters

I hate it. It gives players the impression that they're good while they actually completely lack skill. Still, they can cheese, I'll just play macro, get better, and actually work my way up the ladder while they can remain the kings of silver league, winning every game with 2 proxy gateways or a 6pool.

I don't hate cheese that much, but I refuse to gg if I lose to cheese. It's simply not a good game then, no other way to put it.

depends on the type of cheese. if they just rally point everything into ur base mindlessly and kill you then it is kind of annoying since nobody wants to sent out a super early worker to scout every game. but if the cheese involved a lot of micro then its nothing to be mad about

How can there even be an option: "Dont care either way"?
Either you hate cheesing or you don't care (which implies that you are ok with it)...

I for my part am ok with cheesing. I try it every once in a while, when I get bored or have lost a few games in a row.
