I used this on close positions (air) The Shattered Temple and it worked fine, didn't outright win the game but I got a decisive lead. Early tanks and marauder kinda killed me on another game, he went rax->techlab->marauder/concussive shells, not much a reaper can do at that point.

Pro indeed, Pride :D


I'm actually going to try that today, with the marine and later reapers. It will look even more liike a reaper expand :D



Awesome build pride! gonna try them in ladder. Where did you find the replay of Merz doing the alternative build?
it says right in the quote that you already read, EG mastercup. search yo


I did, but I can't find it. Not only I'm not familiar with such thing as EG mastercup, I'm not sure if he said it was Merz vs Cloud or Merz vs Cookiemonster

Rotfl, what? You don't even have starport finished at the time reapers come in.


I did the math and the banshee is building before the reapers get there and you only need to stall for a few secs to get it out. This is gas first btw.

I use this alot when I am close air position TvT in shakuras.....works really well.Youc an save your reeapers and when the enemy attacks your base, you can wreck havoc on the mineral line.

I played against this or similar to this.. last night. It indeed did huge damage aka killed like every marine.. :D and few scv's..

It looks just like reaper expand and I wasn't expecting to see that many reapers when it is usually that 1 scouting reaper

I was tired and I wasn't kind of interested in that game anymore so I did all-in with marine+hellion+scv. Basically I just walked over him in the end.

Maybe I'll try this someday in my TvT's, sounds fun to play with but pain to play against

I use a very similar build in 2v2 games and it works very well... I'll be interested to watch your replay and try it in 1v1

At that point it's best to pull the reapers back and keep map control with them, when he moves out you can still move your reapers into his base and either do damage or force him to keep units in his base to defend (which does damage in its own right since it means his push is weaker to make up for the fact that you are a little behind).

Cool rush, thanks for sharing!

Reapers can beat Hellions, unless he has more Hellions than your Reapers and he is able to get splash off.

Here is a link to the VOD. The actual attack is pretty disappointing though... And as said he doesn't use the reapers like Pride describes, so I wouldn't really judge Pride's build based on this.

Game 2 (with the reaper rush) starts around 15 minute mark.

I think reapers > hellions only applies when hellions aren't micro'd.

Well, reapers beat Hellions 1 on 1, so if both sides micro, the reapers will win.

Also, gosh darn it! I should have played my ladder game before, I was on a 9 win streak.

I face this Terran, and im like hahah hes going 3 reaper rush, good thing I read about it. But then his reapers come in an unexpected angle and my clever bunker placement wasn't so clever no more. And he sniped like 3 of my marines before they could get into the bunker T_T lol.

Anyways, dang this rush is strong!

Uhh well hellions win when both sides micro because the hellions control the micro battle with their higher speed and range. 5 hits to kill a hellions vs 4 for a reaper and the hellion can make the hits trade at a 1:1 ratio. Not to mention the hellion can always run to get repaired because it's faster.

The insane computer opponent will go with a similar build on certain maps in TvT.
From my experience, it seems to really be a great build if you have the multi-tasking to pull it off. The computer used it on XNC vs me, I had plenty of marines, but the computer kept going up cliff into main and back down, down other cliff into my 3rd, up other cliff into my natural, etc.

Reapers do insane dps to buildings ofc too, that game he took out my CC at my 3rd with ~7 reapers very very quickly, seriously took like 5-8 seconds to blow it up. nice for taking out add-ons in the main if you get enough reapers to kill it in a couple volleys.

Anyway, just wanted to say that they used it as not only an opening, but they kept about 7-10 reapers around in a pack almost all game and kept them out of harms way and constantly picking at me. I ended up getting tanks in good locations to stop the harass, but they had out macro'd me by that point. Seems like an interesting style and fun.

Holy hell, that was you, wasn't it? You talking about the new maps should have tipped me off, but figured i'd try it anyway.

I've been using this a lot in the past few month, but without cutting scv or delaying orbital. This means my reapers popped up only at 5:00.

A good counter is to simply keep all your marines together. Spreading marines to deny scouting is too risky in my opinion (against marines/scv, ghost openings, reapers openings, you want to have your 5-6 marines together).

3 reapers can take 4 clustered marines, but no more, and they will suffer heavy damages.

this is my Go to Cheese for TvT
I will do this build, expand as i leave (incase I do no damage, if it does damage i still get extra scv prod and mules)
then add 2 rax with reactors get Stim and combat shields and push with about 30 marines plus the upgrades.
if you've done significant damage to their econ, it's impossible for them to catch up to your production, and they'd need a ton of bunkers to beat stimmed shielded marines.
