Hey all, put together a build order video for Noboru's Mayan Eagle Rush that he's been doing pretty constantly on ladder around 2k ! Watching his stream I've seen a lot of people even at that level really struggle against holding/preventing Noboru from reaching a critical eagle scout mass. It has a lot more counter-play opportunities than something like a Hoang rush but I still think its a nice cheese to have in the back of your pocket.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Works better on Aztecs, can also be done on Incas. Apparently Noboru wanted to practice his archer play as well so he was just using Mayans for that 11.
