Whats a RUSH, anyway?
This question is here pretty much because “rushes” are a hot topic in the newsgroup, yet there seem to be as many different definitions of “rush” as there are people screaming about them. Here’s the final, definitive meaning: RUSH (n.): an attack within the first five or six minutes of the game consisting of the basic units (i.e. marine, Zergling or zealot), that may or may not include peons (i.e. SCVs, drones, or probes). Any attack that comes after six minutes is no longer a True Rush. By the very nature of rushes, a “Battle Cruiser / Guardian / Carrier Rush” is impossible in a melee game. These are swarms, not rushes.
