orb is just trolling his thread now, I think it should be closed as we have enough feedback/counters/advice to this TvP opening.

I've been proxy rushed reaper quite quick, i just used 1 zealot, and surrounded with probes to kill his first 2, stalker was out in no time, reaper rush over, I end up winning as he has to lift off and fly barracks back.

if this build is so impossible as orb suggests, why doesnt every top level terran do it? and orb is known for exaggerating small problems.

I know one guy who went from bronze to #4 in platinum by only doing this rush, another reached #2 in platinum. This is a major problem and no replay in this thread actually shows the real rush.

http://www.sc2rc.com/index.php/replay/show/1413 is a replay of a bronze guy doing it against a platinum player (on the worst map to do the rush on). Having a Reaper inside your base at 2:45 with a bunker being constructed at the same time is almost impossible to deal with unless you are a much better player and got some luck with scouting.

You guys are being ridiculous. Here's me playing that "bronze league" player and winning easily. This is the easiest strategy in the game to stop and come out ahead unless you go for 13 gate. If blizzard patches tech lab build time to compensate for this non-issue, it's going to ruin early and mid game PvT balance (and imo, as a toss player, it favors toss since the marauder change). This is an all in strategy, and you need to lose literally 7 or 8 probes to come out behind.

Yes, with his 50 apm he couldn't micro and stop my probe from killing his scvs, but still, a player with perfect micro is not going to kill enough probes in time, and won't recover from his horrible economy.
