While gas first opening and Reaper opening are the mainstream builds in TvT, a gas first Reaper opening relative uncommon. The build I’m covering isn’t new, but I think it is worth blogging given the background behind it.

There is much truth in “you can’t go wrong with a Reaper expand”, but there is more depth to a Reaper expand than many think. This post is about the variations of Reaper expand in all three match ups. Continue reading “Reaper expand for all match ups”

Gas first openings are the norm in current TvT and cloaked Banshee is arguably the most bread and butter build of them. Since I’ve not covered this before, I should.

The build that I’m discussing is at least one month old since its first notable match in IEM Toronto between Flash and Taeja. Since then, I have seen INnoVation used it in GSL against Cure, and ForGG also used it against MMA.

This post is a sequel to the previous post (scouting basics), whereby we look at how to hide information from the opponent. It is essentially about scouting, but from the receiving-end perspective.
