Starcraft 2 Terran Megarax Rush

By:


Overview

The Mega Raxis known as a all-in cheese that depends on your ability to flood the enemy base with unlimited streams of marines.Its viable against all races,and may offer decisive and swift victories if carried out properly .

This build is even more succesful when you avoid scouting,and proxy your barracks near the enemy base.

Procedures For The Build

1.Supply Depot At 10 food

2.Once you reach 12 supply build your Barracks at the Ramp

3.You need to proxy a Barracks near his base arround 14 food

4.Get the Orbital Command upgrade at 15 food

5.At 16 supply place another supply depot

6.Proxy another Barracks near his base at 19 food count,this is the third Barracks

7.At 21 supply place a depot again

8.You'll need to proxy another Barracks near his base,the fourth Barracks,do this at 24 food

9.At 27 supply build another depot to keep supply count steady

10.At 33 supply place the last proxy Barracks (5th Barracks,4th proxy)

11.Finish the order with a final depot at 36 food

Executing The Attack

The strike begins as soon as your 4th Barracks are done.Pull some SCVs within your mineral line and have them on standby in your proxy zone,there you are able to construct a bunker outside his ramp and then try to break thru.Once inside his main,construct an additional bunker near his mineral line and micro arround his defenses ,concurrently keep constant production from your Barracks and keep a stable supply count.

Transitions

1.In the event you dont compromise scvs to aid the rush you can put 2 more barracks and begin expanding from there.Such things happen in the event you scout his ramp using a handful of marines and believe that you wont get past his defenses.

Its most effective if you try and keep him pressured in the main,construct some bunkers at the base of the ramp and keep a steady defense line.This offers you an edge as you freely expand.

2.You can go for huge rax build devoid of proxy or pulling scvs .Here it is possible to strengthen your base with bunkers as you get gas and add techlabs/reactors on your Barracks.

How To Counter Mega Rax
Scouting is the better counter to the rush.If he goes for the 4 proxy rax ,you'll be able to strike them before they come online,leaving him with one Barracks and lost minerals.

1.Countering as Terran : never rush in on his proxy if he places bunkers near them,alternatively try and go for cloaked banshees,tanks or hellions to counter.

2.Countering as Zerg: as the mega rax rush relies mainly on secrecy it isnt very feasible for the zerg,but if he does it,the simplest way to counter is putting spine crawlers and training speedlings.Baneling raids are also great.

3.Countering as Protoss : Do not make the blunder to get cannons ,zealots with sentries are a good way to hold the ramp obstructed or separate his forces up.From there you can go for a 4 Gate push,or one base Colossus.
