It was quite common in Wings of Liberty.
My favourite example is this game between jjakji and SuperNova, where both players when for the proxy marauder rush! Very entertaining game.

Its only 3 years old though
I remember having to face that thing in WoL beta when I was Protoss. That was before they made the depot a requirement for Rax. And when Marauders came with concussive shells built-in. So you would face something like proxy rax on 8 supply, it was so hard to hold xD

You're just asking for a proxy.
That's a bit harsh. He had his reaper out and obviously was going to scout.
It's pretty rare to scout before rax or anything.
Who would expect proxy rauders?
You're playing versus Maru. You have to except a proxy everygame and play accordingly.
In TvZ sure. Don't think anyone would in TvT.
Now they do
I guess quite often in Code A or RO32 you'll see Maru in his 'don't give a fuck' moods and he'll do this stuff all day. Still, didn't expect it in TvT too.

3 years old already? Wow, well granted I haven't seen a lot of TvT lately but still...first time seeing it live for me

He went marine before reaper which is IMO just silly
By then Maru would either have a reaper out before flash with flash not having enough firepower to kill it or he would have enough marines to stop the reaper. Feels like it was planned to be a no scout and then flash changed his mind or smth, just odd
No, that's the build. The Reaper is precisely here in time to welcome the other Reaper (see here for example).

It was ugly, but it was well earned. Maru controlled his units brilliantly at every stage of that push. Those WM baits, even attempting to get Flash's mine to go off on his own SCVs...
