I have yet to win outright with this build, but I haven't encountered too many Terrans on ladder. | ||

Most terrans expect one reaper as a scout or to try to do a little damage but almost never expect three. Usually the delay in attack will have your opponent assuming you are just holding a watch tower or thinks that you know they know you have a reaper and you're just deciding not to use it as they would normally expect you to. Depends on the opponent really though since as this build gains more popularity some might know and expect it in which case all I can say is, like any other risky opening BO, hope you don't get scouted during crucial moments. | ||

This isn't really designed to make you win outright. It's just designed to do good amounts of damage to your opponent to put you way ahead, causing a snowball effect. | ||

I'll be interested to watch your replay and try it in 1v1 I think I played you 1v1 play and you thought I was doing this, got concussive shells to hard counter, but I was actually just doing reaper into siege expand and your bio crumbled to my bunker + siege. | ||

Another time you can do is as soon as that scv starts scouting your base, have a scv follow it until it leaves your base.

(cant try this out for a while since my comp at home is broken) You have about 5-10 secs before the first tank pops out.

You saw your opponent see your reaper and yet you hop the ledge that is the most obvious of all reaper entrances. I don't get tvt.. lol. Not surprised you consider this "creative." the beauty of tvt, the act of surprise. | ||

Now i'm happy. i'll use it. i dislike the TvT tank Viking games hehhe, its still a terrible unit imo. On June 28 2011 08:51 antz0r wrote: Works very well in low level gold. I used a partly made supply depot to deny early scouting, and continued as normal although it threw out some other timings and felt less smooth. It totally caught the other guy by surprise and I took out 10 scvs, and held that econ advantage for the whole game which turned into a viking tank snooze fest. If you're able to take about 7 scvs, the game is practically over as long as you don't make major mistakes. | ||

How many SCVs do my 3 Reapers have to kill for me to be ahead considering the cost of the Reapers, the later Orbital upgrade, and the brief pauses in SCV construction? | ||

My Reapers have nothing to do but hold watchtowers at that point, and SCV kills are sparse. How many SCVs do my 3 Reapers have to kill for me to be ahead considering the cost of the Reapers, the later Orbital upgrade, and the brief pauses in SCV construction? You're only cutting effectively 1 scv, and are behind a negligible amount of time on your mule. I would say you need to kill just 1 scv to be effective. If anything it keeps your opponent in his base, you pick off a few marines, and you have early map control. One might even argue that map control is reason enough to cut an scv. | ||

I feel that if I play someone that has seen this build before, he is capable of holding it easily, and you have a long long time to scout it before the first reaper is out. On most ladder maps (excluding TDA and possibly typhon?), an SCV will reach your main. This gives more then enough time for your opponent to prepare perfectly and you end up behind. Your opponent will be either up in tech in case of 1-1-1, or up in economy in case of a quick FE. You're then left with 3 fairly useless reaper, who act as your threat of counterattack until there's 2 tanks. It's got very high 'shock' value, and might be slightly better if you proxy a 1 rax, to hope your opponent prepares for a 1 rax reaper (rines on cliffs), but when trying that myself recently I'm hitting opponents that prepare for this build even if they only scout 1 lab. I think it will die out in a couple of weeks on the ladder, only to then return as the occasional cheese to see if people still remember how to hold it. | ||
