What exactly is a “cheese” in Starcraft 2?
StarCraft 2 - why haven't certain players been promoted to higher leagues?

Part 1: feeding and cheesing. Is feeding in a 2v2 game considered cheese? I played a few with a buddy (we are high bronze), and he has been feeding me resources as Terran while I go mass blink stalkers, w/ 3rd tier upgrades if the battle takes some time. Is that cheese or is it legit?

Part 2, the upgrades/matchmaking system. We are in high bronze in 2v2, and win well over 60% of the games we play. Recently I've been checking the ranks of the people we beat, and we have been beating golds, silvers, and a few plats (we stomped a middle-ranked plat team with the feeding strategy). So, why aren't we getting promoted to silver (at least)? Any info on either of these questions is much appreciated. Thanks!

    You should probably break this up into two separate questions. They aren't really related. – Uticensis May 22 '11 at 23:43
  • sorry, they seemed related to me at the time of posting, but in hindsight they do seem unrelated. – snerd7 May 23 '11 at 00:23
  • Your second question really needs to be re-worded as well. As of now it is too localized. You should re word it to asking how the matchmaking system works - and make a second question as stated by Billare. – Wipqozn May 23 '11 at 01:28
  • Welcome to Gaming! As mentioned, please do not post multiple questions (especially very distant ones) as a single question - it makes it difficult for the answerers to properly address the question, and for our voters to properly address answers. And, well, as it seems, your questions appear to be duplicates, which is a separate unfortunate scenario of its own. – Grace Note May 23 '11 at 17:46
  • Feeding your friend means hurting yourself, turning it into a 2v1 essentially. I would guess this wouldn't really fly in gold or platinum.

  • Regarding 1: It's not a 2v1 by all means. If you have enough production facilities and your ally provides you with lots of resources, you can produce an army that is bigger or equal the size of the opponents army. In addition all your units gain from the same updates and you create one big Protoss death-ball. Definitely a viable strategy even in higher levels. – bummzack May 23 '11 at 05:40
