| This term means a special kind of [[.gaming_theory:rush]] in [[Starcraft 2]]. It can only be implemented by [[Zerg]] players. The concept is to only mine minerals, not building any infrastructure except for the [[Spawning Pool]]. All minerals are spent on the spawning pool, once the required amount of minerals has been mined. By the time the Spawning Pool is finished, the minerals are already sufficient to spawn 3 times [[Zerglings]]. The player then has 6 Zerglings at his disposal, which he directly sends to the opponents base. This is basically the earliest attack a Zerg player can muster. It is considered a "lame" strategy, called [[cheese]] in the Starcraft context. | This term means a special kind of [[..:gaming_theory:rush]] in [[Starcraft 2]].
