The Terran Reaper is my favorite unit in Starcraft 2. The thing is, most players have no idea how to use this unit to its ultimate potential. Most players try to sneak 3-4 of these units out early, jump up the back of the enemy's base, and head right for the mineral line and try to take out codes reaper 2 as many harvesters as possible.

How well has this worked out for you? Let me guess:

- It worked great in the Bronze league and this strategy often won games for you outright.
- It worked okay in the Silver league, and you were able to pick off a few harvesters before the enemy could respond.
- By the time you got into the Gold league, the other player always seemed to have a Stalker, Marauder, or automated defense there and waiting for your Terran Reapers, and then you went on to lose to an early push.

Sound familiar? The fact is that your typical Reaper rush is overdone and over-hyped in the lower leagues and as a result every player in the Gold league and above has already seen this and can stop it in their sleep without even trying. At this point, you need more advanced tactics.
