uhhh dude I think we have a misunderstanding here lol. The early reaper that was taken away which I've mentioned is due to the speed upgrading being a factory requirement, not the supply depot before barracks change.

Speedless reapers is shit.

hmmm i did heard my frens talking about it on skype quite a while back...
though they didnt mention any tournament (and i deleted the replay they sent to me)

but it seems that select only know MMM only to get roflstomped by idra with ease when he cant MMM against zerg...
no doubt his MMM sense and control is among the best i've seen with 3pronged drops (think ITR styled but better than ITR), army trading and constant pressure...
watching MLG DC loser's bracket to see him MMM like 9 games in a row vs nony (3-1), kiwi (2-1) and HuK (2-0) is really boring...
thank god HuK did the mothership rush (which is ruined by the retarded crowd for select to scan it before atking)...

thought they on headphones and shouldnt hear the crowd? lol

as i said tell that to QXC which opened with reapers (1-2 vs idra if u haven watch)...
early reapers without speed still deal damage to zerg's FE forcing commitment of larvae into lings...
people are still using reapers as we can see in MLG DC which is just yesterday...
people are not getting to abuse it unlike the past (speed reapers > roaches) etc...

thought they on headphones and shouldnt hear the crowd? lol

That does work sometimes but good players often don't succumb to pressure like these especially when non-speed reapers can be easily dealt with by marines/marauders/stalkers and easily gets raped by unmicroed speedlings.

We're playing at around 1000 diamond 2v2 now and non-speed reapers just don't cut it anymore.

well to be fair the zerg+terran combo in 2s was pretty annoying...
speedlings + speed reapers

speedling + hellion would be a more suitable combo. the hellion would take care of any anti-zerging units(marines, zerglings, zealots) while the lings can kill any anti-hellion units(stalkers, marauders, roach)

zergling run by + reaper cliff hop can go in mineral line and gg main base and workers while hellions cannot do that.

also, what hellions can do, reaper can do the same, if not better when achieved a critical mass (similar to how mutalisks work) due to their fast atk speed as opposed to hellions slow atk and even slower move speed (compared to speed reapers anyways)

what they do have is aoe flame, however upon speedling upgrade and chargelots and stim marines, hellions would die like crap while reapers could potentially hold their ground provided numbers are evenly matched, or reapers reaching a critical mass.

i have a confession: i enjoy mass reapers in team game and just snipe off buildings (especially zergs pre-patch)... mass reapers jz drop buildings so fast and so easy to micro wit their speed... when my opponents move out i'll jz move in and snipe snipe snipe and transition to a solid MM from my rax... and the supply b4 rax wont affect me at all lol (though the factory requirement will T.T)

provided if u hv crucy and throx on ur team for customs. its just imba. 

and u as my opponent rite LOL

wif quitz as my teammate LOL
later u wanna joms?
