What do you normally do against a terran who opens reapers? The mscore itself can't prevent the reaper from scouting your base assuming the terran is at all careful- you can throw down the robo in plain sight of the reaper but not the twilight council since it'll be a dead give-away. (At high masters if its any help)

reaper typically comes before your tech buildings are down, so you can change tack before you are committed to both Robo and Citadel tech (it's reasonably close to a MSC/sentry expand with robo fast if you don't make the citadel). No idea how it would play out at pro level ^_^

And now Terrans will hard counter this and it will become near useless.

and when you see this, you laugh at how they are delaying another aspect of their push, and keep that threat alive so terrans still need to account for it.

A couple weeks ago, Artosis kept talking about how good this build was on his stream, and about how, when using this build, he hadn't lost against a Terran yet (at the time). He said it takes advantage of Terrans playing extremely greedily, since it's still quite early in the game's release. It really is a good build to have in one's repertoire.

I feel like a Reaper scout is enough to demolish this build? Or at the very least, make it very difficult for the Protoss?

This build is really good if you play against someone you know will not allin you early game, and that means it will not be good for laddering in lower leagues.

What browser are you in? It shouldn't be displaying like that.

Ah it's latest Opera on Windows7 x64. And it's fine on IE9, so it seems an issue of browser. I don't complain.

Edit: Now it's fine on Opera too! thanx!
