Really? Out of all the players people claim to abuse reapers, Byun is the ONLY one that has won significant tournaments because of it.
In Europe, when we talk about the very best players, we have Elazer, Showtime, Nerchio, Snute, Serral. uThermal is nowhere near the conversation.
In America, most would recognize Neeb as the clear Top player with Major, Scarlett and Kelazhur close.
And come on, who won the last WCS? Elazer !! A Zerg !!
If reapers are really so breaking, Terrans should be winning everything !!
This isn't like gglord/winfestor. That was broken because zerg was winning everything with it at its peak !! Suddenly every top player in the scene at that time and up and comers were all zerg ! Those units were broken.
It is not like Terrans are winning everything with reapers. We don't even see foreigner terrans dominate the scene with it.
Sure they win some games against Zerg with it. But i have also seen Korean zergs completely shut it off when other terrans try it. Good example would be Maru. He just wasn't good enough at it.
I still stick to my point. It is not reapers which is OP. It is Byun. Some people are hating on it just because they don't like to see people win games with Micro. But guess what. A lot of people also enjoying seeing Micro skill instead of just Macro skills.
And some more numbers for the haters.

June 2017, out of 1546 games, TvZ win rate : 47.15%
May 2017, out of 1684 games, TvZ win rate : 47.15%
April 2017, out of 1597 games, TvZ win rate : 49.03%
March 2017, out of 1406 games, TvZ win rate : 48.08%
In fact you had to go back to Jan 2017 before Terrans had a over 50% win rate over Zergs.
But yeah, people would just ignore it. This is why people like trump become president.

great post
this is exactly why people like trump become president, people can watch 15-20 min long games where soo is up 50 supply, watch him crash like 40+ supply of banes into tanks/marauders and at the end say "darn those reapers to hell!!!"
