Maru's Banshee Cheese (from Harstem YT) (TvX Cheese)
Description
Important Timings: 2:40 - Scout with reaper to check for tech/whatever 4:30 - Move out
Attention: Make depots as necessary as I haven't specified them all in the build
This looks like a macro build but is very much an all-in, thus why it is a cheese. You will catch people off-guard even if scouted.
You can macro out of it if you do enough damage but losing your entire army with not enough damage done (10+ drone kills and 3rd canceled) puts you in a bad position.
Keeping the banshees alive can help with continued harassment if stuff goes wrong.

Analysis
Remember to take 2-3 SCV's for repairs and/or bunkers as needed. Continue production of units behind this (marines/tanks). Not losing any banshees would be ideal, as once the second one comes their threat levels spikes considerably. More Banshees to taste.
The idea here is to hit hard in multiple locations to overwhelm. Start harassing with the first banshee ahead of your push to take away attention from it and allow yourself to siege up.
Position the tank in between 2nd and 3rd if they are expanding. Force a cancel on the 3rd before turning your attention to the natural.
The widow mine should be near the tank to help defend it if your marines are elsewhere. It buys you time to move back into position.
You should always be in two places at once.
