CMStormPolt 2 rax reaper into marine tank push (TvT Timing Attack)

Description

this is a build polt did in the most recent tournament (which he won) against the grandmaster terran player KoMA. you make 4 reapers total while pooling them back at home and once the 3rd and 4th reapers come out you make a reactor then a tech lab for fast marine production and stim. you push out when your combat shields has only been going for 10-15 seconds so that you show up just as its finishing. with this push you should have a group of marines, 3 tanks, 2 medivacs, and 1 viking. if your below masters this build will most likely kill your opponent but above that it should contain them while you get up to 3 base and rocket ahead in economy. id recommend watching the replay that is attached to this build order just to see how a pro like polt tries to play it out, i condensed the build order down to 5:30 as opposed to the standard 10:00 since i feel that after that point its all standard reactionary play and no longer part of the build order. if you feel differently the link attached to this build will take you to the full 10:00 version.

P.S. the turrets he puts down at 5:14 and 5:15 are reaction to scouting possible banshee. they are not part of the real build order but if your less experienced id recommend doing it anyways just for safety.

Analysis

im currently masters terran on EU and NA, i find this build to be extremely effective on all maps except dusk towers due to how hard it is to get reapers to do any real damage. but its still doable, you need to poke up the ramp at his marines instead of jumping up and going for the SCV line like you might do on maps like central protocol or orbital shipyard. make sure you save a scan on dusk towers so you can get some kind of scouting at around 4 minutes to see what he might be throwing at you. you probably wont need to do this on any other maps due to the reapers getting any and all information you might need.

Side note the only build iv gotten shit on so far is thor rush with a medivac. but since that's such a rare build i wouldn't worry about it too much, good luck and have fun. If anyone would like me to put together a build order for a specific match up or a specific play style leave it in the comments.
