the other day someone scold me for sending my 6 zerglings to claw his SCV and SD in build.

i suspect is Asian, probably from MY / SG. and i also suspect (from the way he scold) that it wasn't his first or second time getting zergling visitation. biggrin.gif

but 5 rax reaper is consider a cheese strategy?

hmm.gif I don't think so, its more like a reaper rush... and its not really effective depending on the map

yeah. which is why i ask. it's a reaper rush of course but was wondering why is it considered cheese? considering people would actually build at their location and move the reapers to location.

imo, it's not cheese as when you are doing so it's practically a double edged sword. either u fail or he fail. however, if you add a bunker behind the mineral line in addition to those reapers, then it'll become cheese tongue.gif
