I just got accused of "cheesing" because I built three gateways. WHAT? Just wondering if anyone can confirm whether or not what I did was considered "cheesing". Because this is my usual build.

Not going to watch your replay, but i'll just take your word for it. 

grilled cheese is delicious

Disregard what people tell you in multiplayer. Sometimes I think that everybody I play with is either a sociopath or a 13-year-old kid. 80% of the matches I play just degenerates into insults and name-calling, regardless of my strategy. Of course there's no way that building three Gateways can be considered "cheesing". Hell, even if you were cheesing, it's a perfectly legal strategy that's oftentimes very successful. Do whatever strategy works for you, and ignore what you hear from other players.  Sadly, this is just something I've learned about StarCraft 2 multiplayer.

God, I wish I hade some cheese right now.

On a scale from American to Limburger in stinkiness, your cheese was American- so it isn't cheese.
 
Cheesing, correct me if I'm wrong, is when you try to build, for example, a barracks in your enemy's base and pump out marines as soon as possible.

I could go for some Venezuelan Beaver Cheese right now.

this thread is everything I wanted and more.

Not gonna watch your replay, but I will say that early 4gate is a legitimate build-order, so I doubt you building three gateways is cheesing.
 

Other dude just sucks.

I had some cheese from sandwich stuck in my beard yesterday and it was still just as tasty today as it was then.

Whatever works for you, man.

" cheese is a term thats just thrown around, generally by people when they lose to the simplest of SC2 tactics that are easy to counter "

Whoever said that needs to try the "suck less" defence. It works really well.

Exactly. Cheese only exists if it can't be negated. The closest thing to cheese in SC4 is everyone on a single side in 3v3 or more zergling rushing onto a single base. Because it can't really be defended against, cus SC2's maps and shit suck on 3v3 or more. That's where ragequitters go. Anyhow in 1v1 or 2v2, nothing at all is fool proof. Therefore, there is no cheesing in 1v1 or 2v2. Just sore losers. "

For my mind a cheese is a build that can't be recovered from, or at least the chance of doing so is really low. The kind of build which is all out win or lose. Something like a 6 pool zergling rush is kinda borderline but I'd definitely consider a reaper rush to be a cheese build if you go and invest in more than 3 of them. A 3 gate protoss build sounds very standard though...

" Cheese -  a negative expression which refers to a strategy that is highly unconventional and designed to take one's opponent by surprise. In general, cheese is nearly impossible to defeat if it is not scouted but easy to defeat if it is scouted. "

" @Crocio: Who said it was bad? "

Well the P cheese build is 4 Gate. So 3 Gate is actually OK. U can go 3 Gate Robo on one base, it's actually pretty standart built. If you're macroing fantastically u could skip one of those gates, but 3 Gate is still OK. U shouldn't feel bad about winning a 4 Gate all in, its annoying and wont make u much better at the game but its still a kind of viable strategy. 

Cheese is a kind of meat, a tasty yellow beef.
