Using the first SCV, build a bunker in front of the hatchery in the natural.Once the first rax finishes, upgrade the command to an orbital and start pumping out marines.After building the first depot, send out another SCV to build the second rax.Send out the first SCV to build the first rax as soon as the game starts (in a good location on the map that’s both close to the natural base of Zerg but also well hidden so that an overlord will not likely see it).There can be many variations of this proxy rax build, but the basics go like this:.Early marine pressure will stunt the growth of Zerg and make them incredibly poor, setting the Terran up for a superior economy the later game goes on.All you need to do next is to start transitioning to factory based macro back at home as a followup to close the game. In a most ideal situation, a canceled natural is guaranteed.

Because Zergs usually don’t usually expect this kind of cheesy build out of Terran, they may not catch your proxy rax building until it’s too late. With its high risk, the potential for a return for this build is also huge.Go nuts with marines produced out of your rax outside your opponent’s base from the very beginning. With this super early game aggro build, you don’t have to restrain yourself. Macro can be very hard and boring since the fun part (all the unit micro) usually comes later in the game and you need to patiently build up your economy until then.First and foremost, I would say this build is one of the oldest and the most fun to try-if you are like me and got into Terran for its fun micro, there is nothing more fun than stutter-stepping your marines against slow lings to get a quick “gg” out of Zerg.Since Zerg mainly relies on melee units to defend in the early game like lings, if you have solid marine controls, this build may bring you lots of joy and early victories. But the build is still quite solid and can definitely get you a quick win against Zerg-especially if they are caught off guard. I should warn though, this is Maru we are talking about, so it may very well be one of those “don’t try this at home” kind of situations here. He does not proxy as much anymore, but Maru is still most well known for his crazy proxy rax opener that somehow always gets him ahead. How and when did Maru become the best Terran in the world you ask? It was when he seemingly proxied every single game a few years back.
