First is scouting. You should be scouting early enough to get in before wallins/marine/stalker but late enough to actually see the opponents gameplan w/out sacraficing too many minerals. Secondly is knowing when you are ahead and when you can stop/start producing units to protect against the cheese. This also goes hand in hand w/ teching to protect against the cheese. An easy way to hold cheese in bronze-gold is to constantly produce workers and supply so you are naturally ahead of your opponent. I would also advise to go for heavier barracks/gateway armies. | ||

maybe blizz can implement a f2 hotkey for idle harrass units? (e.g. for speedlings, mutas, reapers, DTs) PS. i watched all your vids...kinda sounds like day9's (watched all of those and going) PPS. Terran is pretty hard for me...the constant production out of all the buildings is just a little crazy (i really wish blizz changes this and allows a selection for constant production when there's resource)... another thing with T is that it's so beneficial to do the drops, reaper harrass, and hellion harrass... i'm just not really into hurting my opponent and feel harrass is worse/more cowardly than cheese :3 i like the big push sorta thing and not the "in-and-out" feel PPPS. T can also get map control...with sensor tower/PF/turret combo... and with marines... the supply depot costs more than the marine due to the time scv is not mining (39 minerals/min)...and losing the depot to a ling is not only humiliating but means you're back in the dark...while losing a marine frees up supply and can be easily replaced. | ||

And also, because I'm zerg and I have the QQ gene and the BM-chromosome would you be so kind as to choose zerg for some of your tutorials? I know most people will say "what's the difference? The core mechanics are the same" but really, they aren't. Since with zerg your attention is spread among executing your build order, managing 2 hatcheries, checking your inject timing, scouting, creep spread and reacting to your opponent's tech choice. | ||

Cheese defense is at least 50% scouting and realizing what things you see or don't see constitute red flags.Cheese defense is usually nullified by having good macro since the cheesy leagues are usually the lower league. Lower league cheeses tend to come very late or not perfectly timed so with good macro you usually have more than necessary to defend the cheesy even if you dont scout. Of course it varies between the cheese but in general this is how it is from what i have seem | ||
