A proxy zealot rush which nobody does and if you fail instantly lose? if terran cc first and you do a nani expand, your mothership core plus zealot will have the onus of doing damage.... | ||

And I don't see how Terran can get enough marines out in time to hold a quick oracle opening off 1 base. Especially if you poke at the front with gateway units at the same time. | ||

I don't think you know what a build order win is, else explain why Creator won the Whirlwind game in which he lost 5 probes to Reaper harass while he lost the Daybreak game in which he lost 6 probes? Or maybe the build order loss starts at the sixth probe kill and we should call this bizarre phenomenon the Gideel's Law? | ||

Yea, I don't think you understand how much has to be done from a Terran standpoint to equalize the economy disadvantage you undertake when you go reaper against a nexus first. Remember, a completely standard 1 rax CC was considered essentially even with a 1 gate expand from Protoss, and that was when Terran's CC was done significantly before the nexus. Now you are in a situation where the Nexus finishes extremely far ahead of the Terran CC at that point in the game. 3 to 4 probe kills and delayed mining time only puts Terran slightly ahead, if ahead at all when you really consider it. | ||

Not justifying balance whine but people need to understand at the heat of the moment why creator said what he did. MSC/gateway pressure is an autowin against CC First. Can't imagine how this should be held. You just can't go CC/Nexus first anymore against Terran/Protoss with MSC and Reapers around. I expected Creator to know that though -_- | ||

Because Creator is good enough to win after loosing 5 probes in the early game sometimes but obviously not every time? To be honest this reaper really showed how good the unit cabn be. Of course Bomber control was perfect so I don't say it's OP for now but the balance involved in this needs to be carefully checked in the future. Such a cheap, low tech unit for great scouting and pretty good harass ability is a bit suspicious to say the least. | ||

He might be referring to the fact that five of his games he opened with a reaper into CC into reactor barracks. Which IMO looked like an incredibly perfect build. Optimal scouting ability, able to punish greed, quick CC and more marines to defend afterwards. I was loving the opening, and he should do it over and over 1,000 times if that's what it takes. | ||

Happy to see Creator lose, probably the epitome of a deathballing player in PvT and PvZ, don't get why so many people are fans of his playstyle. Very skillful player and tactically intelligent, but give me MC and his crisp timings or Parting's sexy PvT any day. | ||

He went like reaper opening to reactor + 2 rax with tech lab and +1 rushing stim and slowly getting to his medivacs just to achieve his stim + medivacs (and the fact he wasn't even that aggressive with early drops in those games makes it very funny). I can see why creator chose to pressure/all-in and with seeing it defending it, it seemed like a pretty safe build. | ||
