INnoVation's Reaper Cyclone Timing (TvT Timing Attack)
Description
INnoVation has an absurd winrate with this build. He used this build in ShoutCraft Kings December, and has been able to dominate many players using it. The concept of this build is to abuse the power of the Cyclone early game in TvT, and to follow it up with a Tank push entering the mid game.

Analysis
The first timing of this build is derived from a pretty standard Reaper Cyclone TvT opener, and should hit with 2 Reapers and a Cyclone at 3:00. Do not lose the Reaper in the ensuing fight, and use the Cyclone to soak damage. After this initial timing, INnoVation makes Reactor'd Vikings, 2 Siege Tanks, a Raven, and some Hellions to hit a follow-up aggressive timing.

I think a Medivac out of Starport before Raven works better to fit the timings if opponent doesn't go for Banshee. I tried to delay tanks for Stim to hit the timing with Stim but now I think of it, you're only gonna have about 8 marines anyway, so MarineLord's timing is probably better.

Tweaked. I ended up flipping some things around to more precisely match the marinelord game. Particularly, he delays the Stimpack a lot, and timings are off because he doesn't get that first Hellion. Hopefully it looks okay

Thanks for copying and sharing the build. Do you mind if I go through and link the VOD and annotate the build with more times and supplies? It would be helpful to get it in game with the overwolf overlay
