hm...scouts....very rarely used in games because of their high cost. maybe depends on the timing, the map, and the bo's of both players for this strat to work well. also i believe that terran can counter it by pumping out marines and a 1 or 2 medics to stop that easily. then guard the armory until its ready. or they can guard the mineral line for a few turrets and your scouts cant get anything done. i guess this would work best if they fast tech and go straight to metal.

scouts rush is really good if terran doesnt expect it at all. one time i just made 1 turret at my exit, and my friend suddenly is flying with 6 scouts in my main.
WTF?!

I wouldn't try it, you could go for early Arbiters as in at the same timing as you wanted to make the Arbiters now, but the Scouts are just too early and too expensive, if you do something like that and Terran will notice, he'll just play defensive and exp and harass with vults for example. Or he'll go for a timing push, both ways you're screwed, I wouldn't do it:P

But what about a surprise 5-6 scouts that are microed as mutalisks taking off SCV's with "one shot" at a time also picking off any scv's trying to build turrets?

uhm... 5-6 scouts will make you die cause of the loss of minerals + gas for it.. when you show those scouts the enemy has already killed you or already taken full control of the map

275*5 is much minerals and its hard to hide that because he will notice on the lack of units you have and thereby attack at once cause he knows your doing some hidden shit :)

oh and one more thing... 8 dmg x 6 = 48.. wont kill an scv in one shot :)

I tried uploading a replay so I could post its url in here but it is not showing up after I uploaded it. Are you aware of any other ways to easily post a replay here?

It's just a variation on the stove.

I'm not sure why the original had any success at all; basically you'd transition into DT tech through fast scouts intended for surprise harassment and panic. But if you're already forcing him to make turrets..?

This is a better idea, but it's too risky, and a fast/smart player will either adapt quickly, or figure out you're doing something weird, shown by your lack of units, at which point he'll decide to run you over like a tank.

But at least you make them micro a lot more than you have to, although they're already inside their own base, while you have to switch between the action and producing your own probes/army/gates/tech/expo.

I cant say I do but it seems like a fun game to play, I think it's very good to try different strats and play as different every game you play so your opponent dont know what you're gonna do and just play different. I think that can help alot.

It is great seeing people saying "shitty build" "noob" "inefective" and so...
as LoC said before, this build is similar with Stove (Scout - Dt - Arbiter) rush, which is VERY efective due to facts:

nobody expect it
terran is quite a slowteching in this time
barely anybody know how to react

This build is risky, ok, but every rush is risky :)
