You're right actually, my mistake. Definition of cheese depends on the community I suppose, I've seen it used to only refer to bugs/exploits in other game communities.

What makes it a cheese strategy? Hoang isn't actively breaking the game to achieve a win, he's using units and game mechanics in their intended function. There's nothing cheese about it, not anymore than Saracen market abuse, 1 TC 2 Castle unique unit plays, or out spamming your opponent as...

What patch does your graph take into account when comparing openings? Drush FC isn't common currently but if you just go back a year and a half ago it comprised most of the games at higher levels for certain players. At the end of the day all you can really criticize Hoang for in regards to his...

It's literally the same guy who posted a YouTube link back in January playing under the name "Drill Time", and confirmed by Moonfaller to be the same player as "MoonKiller" and "U NO WOOD", accounts which are clearly using some form of map hacks and the idle vil hack. You yourself commented in...

Yeah, I'm glad other pros would never resort to using the exact same strategy whenever possible, though it's a shame drush FC never really caught on in the meta.

I presume cheaters are playing on family account sharing smurfs rather than their own main accounts. Will probably have to get Steam involved to VAC ban accounts, since afaik DE can't seem to tell when a player is family shared from a main account.

I submitted a report with the support ticket as did my teammates, but I'm honestly not hopeful that leads to anything. The guy who bug abused and hacked to the top players a while ago had a significantly worse affect on the game than some low level TG, and he got away with it for a lot longer...

Encountered a hacker in ranked TG, currently under the name Nodscouter. Obviously this isn't the real Nodscouter, and is presumably one of the same cheaters that was using the usernames of other well known players. Hacks include: -Typing under another player's username to use slurs...

Calling someone a racist isn't a slur. If you don't want to be called a racist then don't play with people who have racist names, it's really not that hard.

JBR_aoe already streamed casted community games this week, man knows an opportunity when he sees one

Plus the lag fixes in DE, while a massive improvement, has resulted in Archer units being infinitely easier to micro. You can abuse Crossbow frame delay to stop micro down an equally sized army of knights or eagles, and even scorpions get microed down with ease. The intended purpose of...

Goths should be entirely overhauled, if not removed from the game outright. There's nothing interesting about a civ where most of your wins are due to just being able to out spam your opponent. Crossbow needs a nerf, probably their rate of fire which doesn't really make sense for a crossbow...

That's a pretty loaded accusation to just not provide any information on whatsoever, and I'm pretty sure goes against the Terms and Rules regarding defamation. So, you didn't ask Spring about it before you decided to post this? Why get the rest of the community involved in something that could...

Plenty of people discussed the other things Capoch said regardinbg qualifiers, LAN, and tournament organizing and scheduling, it's not their fault if he also only decides to respond to the most 'unimportant' point 1111

Okay, but that's not what you said. You're solely complaining about having to wake up at 7-8 am, because you have to get breakfast and warm up. You didn't at all mention "oh I play better in the evening" until people called out how whiny and entitled it is to complain about waking up at 8 in...
