Most of zerg's special plays are cheeses. The reason is that there's no self sufficient builds for zerg. its always about trying to keep up with T and P who play follow the leader. Zerg cant lead. its not economically viable for them to do so. If zerg could, they would get even more QQ's than ever out of T or P because they can force terran and protoss responses that they can then quickly TS and punish. | ||

On a side note, I really think that as people learn to use units and tech in ways not originally planned or desired by the game makers, the game SHOULD go through rebalancing on those basis. | ||

1) Tyler for 1base blink stalkers (or Nazgul, not 100% sure on this), and 5-6 gating in pvz, and most importantly double forge in pvt. Nowadays it's such a standard build, and back in march/april he was the only one doing it (see his showmatch vs Jinro). Plus of course his phoenix play. 2) White-ra for warp prisms, even though it's not particularly popular yet, and especially colossus/void ray. | ||

The problem with this thread is that no one is checking their sources and just about everyone is completely wrong about when something first started it and when it first became common. It's not about existing forever. It's about people being shown about the fact that it can win more than platinum ladder games. So, it is actually "popularized" by DongRaeGu.

The phrase came up because he just did it every single game at a completely random timing. | ||

The thing is that it doesn't get used much in tournaments and really high level play. It is a valid built but it's just not used at the top level as far as I'm aware. It works great at the lower levels because it's really solid defensively while being good economical but at the high level it's not used (if I'm wrong feel free to correct me). | ||
