Yeah but seriously there's a 2/3 chance his opponent is Protoss or Terran why would you go for blind 2rax in that situation?

And I know 2rax isn't insta loss against those 2 races but it isn't very good most of the time.



You can beat Protoss with 2rax if they open pretty standard or delay the MSC at all. Just bunker hop to the Nexus. You can also defeat many TvT build with it as well including the two common cloak banshee openers. It isn't that bad a decision.

I dunno I've been 2 raxed by Terrans a couple times using a variety of builds and I've never lost to it in TvT. I'm not Balloon or Bomber level but I've found it to be not that hard to hold. Still wish he would've picked a different build.

My *guess* is Bomber saw how badly his micro outclassed Balloon's in game2 and figured 2rax is, generally, a build where the more skilled micro player wins. Its just versus 2rax Reaper it doesn't matter how good your micro is and how bad your opponent's you are going to lose.
