There's a new opening that I've seen from Terran GM Eu today. Gas first into SCV scout into reaper viking first, do u think it is a good opening?


There was a similar opening mentioned in the article if you read it.

It's just a reaper expand into 1/1/1 viking raven with blind turrets and a delayed raven.

You just drop ebays at the beginning of starport and build turrets

Example:


This is really the standard macro oriented defensive opening with an economic focus. As the article mentioned you need to be careful against early tank pushes and mass reaper strategies.

Scouting with your reaper is very important, if you see mass reapers build a bunker in your mineral line and put marines inside.

Holy shit, epic guide. I usually do pretty well in TvT mid/late game but struggle in the early game, maybe because I literally only ever play reaper into CC (ok sometimes 1-1-1 all-in banshee/tank pushes if I'm on tilt).

This should help! :D

Nothing is old in TL strategy when it comes to terran.The thing for it is for you to digest and react about it?Does it gave you a winning rate or a losing rate.
example:
Tvs Pvs Z....actually you use reaper to scout his base and you use 4 reaper to kill all his probe
then save those reapers if ever you manage to survive..then you approach it also with hellion drop reaper again..
just imagine if 4 rea[per 3 hellion can go to a base to harrass probes,scv and drones...

12 rax
12 gas
reaper production
build the usual 111 style
..We have to love the old build.You only have to experiment on it and gave it a try.A practice or make it a goal.
Timing can kill speed.

Oh fuck, there is finally a very strong textbook about Terran.

I guess that LotV put the pressure on Jer, as all of this is going to be voided when the expansion comes out
