The Proxy Reaper Rush for Terran is one of the moves that is usually used for openings which is way effective. This tactic is designed to be able to cripple your enemy’s economy and for them to lose their effectiveness. Talking about Reapers, they are very immune to the first tiered units except Zerglings on creeps and speedling which are able to catch up and be able to surround the Reapers.
A number wants to start the game with this strategy because they have the ability to jump along the cliffs that would increase their survival rate.

Some players think it is impossible to counter the Proxy Reaper Rush Strategy. Some would also say that is is easily countered. The Reaper Rush are easily detected mid game or later in the game if your opponent does good scouting techniques. There are effective counter for Proxy Reaper Rush which will be discussed on the succeeding paragraphs. The effective counter tactics would depend on what type of character you are playing.

If you are using Terran, it is easy for you to counter the Reapers. It would only require a Marauder. It is suggested to build the following:

• 10 out of 11 supplies of Supply Depot
• 12 out of 19 supplies of Barracks
• 13 out of 19 supplies of Refinery

When all of these are present, you need to build a tech Lab onto the Barracks and when it is done, train a Marauder and then research Concussive Shells. Have your Marauder right next to your SCVs. A marauder has the ability to destroy a number of Reapers. Use the slowing attack, this will not let the Reapers run away from you. You now have the advantage and it will be an easy kill for you now.

Lets talk about Zerg players. Of all the living specie in Starcraft 2, Zerg has the most advantage against Reaper Rush. To start with, 2 Reapers can be easily destroyed by just one Queen. It only needs 3-4 Zerglings as the offense and defense of the Queen, preventing the Reapers from hitting the Queen. The easiest way is when you have 4 Zerglings, chase the Reapers, leading them to you Queen. Now, as I have said, its an easy kill from here on.

Last but not the least, as Protoss. Countering a tactic of your own kind is the most challenging. However, there is still a way to counter that. Firstly, you need to build the following:

• 9 out of 10 supplies of Pylon
• 12 out of 19 supplies of Gateway
• 14 out of 19 supplies of Assimilator
• 15 out of 19 supplies of Cybernetics Core

when all of these on the list are done. As soon as the Cybernetics Core is done, you need to use the Chrono-Boost on your Gateway to be able to produce a Stalker in a fast pace. A single stalker has the ability to kill a group of Reapers easily. However, don’t think that you don’t need a defense side. You will still need it just in case. Place 2 Stalkers to protect your minerals. Like what I have said, It is challenging to be against on your own kind. Even if you have done this perfectly, if your opponent is good, your stalker would be few seconds behind from your enemy’s Reaper.

So just be haste and just like any other games, always have a second plan when all else fails.
