        I like surgical cheese. When you just know it's right to use at a very specific time and place. : enyakk

      Today I had a guy try to build a rax with a tech lab right by my base on Xel'naga Caverns. I succeeded. But I had 2 raxes in my base pumping marines nearly as fast as his first reaper got to my base. He didn't even bother to continue the game. Just quit. So yah, these strats happen all the time, especially on small maps when against a random player.
