New extremely effective reaper opening

[Ja Karta]

All my openings for reaper are variants on that. It's always been effective. (Unless I blunder. For which there's no excuse as things are pretty mapped out. You can also keep the heavy higher up and use it to attack the witspace.)
The general idea is to harrass the wit space, kill the sniper, and move yours down the right.


Clever league:

(I blundered turn 9 by moving units in the wrong order . Runner should have spawned first and killed runner. But had I not done that it would be a guaranteed win.) [I was at a friends house ; still annoyed I don't get reaper very often and it probably cost me my master's promotion ]

I'm a bit disapointed that this is now known, as it is very counterable. The opening is pretty telegraphed. :/

Its a gimmick, just make a medic

Or kill the heavy and bring a soldier

Medic to sniper is good, but doesn't fix it.

Nor do other medic or soldier spawns.

The key to stopping it is just moving the heavy to the right spot.
