Here is a great game showing an uncommon Terran strategy the Barracks Proxy Rush. It is between Tribunus and Suspekt playing as Terran and Protoss commentated by MrShavvo. Proxy rushing works best on maps where there are only two spawn points and you know exactly where your opponent is without having to scout, because rushing is all about timing and pulling it off before your opponent is able to get enough combat units to stop you.
The Protoss sees the Barracks being built and builds a Pylon right next to it so the Terran can’t build an add on upgrade. That turns out to be a mistake because the Terran is able to destroy the Pylon and supply lock the Protoss for a little while. The Terran builds a Bunker near his Barracks so he can defend better, and then tries to leapfrog his way to the Protoss mineral line by building more Bunkers closer and closer. The Protoss does a good job of defending against the rush by building Zealots then switching to Stalkers as soon as possible. The twist is, the Terran realizes early that his rush is going to fail, and does a great job of building a good economy in his main base and massing an army of Marauders and Siege Tanks but ultimately is countered with Immortals. You have to see this watch it now.
