An Easy early Terran push with stim and combat shields vs Protoss.

This build is good for Platinum league and above, all the way to pro-level ( lower leagues can try as well, the build is not too difficult and practicing efficient builds is a good way to improve).

This build focuses on mass production of units, and very early bio upgrades (stim and combat shields). It gives the Terran a very powerful early timing, with the potential to outright kill an unprepared opponent. However, the lack of Factory and Starport mean holding early all-ins is harder, and the engineering bay is very important for detection and dealing with air units (this is why we make a blind turret).

To execute this build at the highest level, you can notice uThermal pulls 2 workers off of gas. This optimizes the gas and mineral saturation and makes the build flow a bit faster

I assume there is a Reaper built early on?

Reaper 1st is one variation on this build, that gives you scouting at the cost of fewer units but for this one, the focus is on reactor first to start the marine production a lot faster.
