ive learned that you can only do it against toss/zerg, and against zerg you dont want his overlord to see it otherwise ur dead. the 1 time i caught the toss and overwhelmed him with my terrible macro it felt pretty swell.
I got to rank 1 masters last season on my friends account doing variations of this rush, you just have to adjust to various crap you see from different races.
For example, any protoss who is platinum or higher won't let your 20 marines pour up their ramp because of force field, so I fixed this by building a proxy rax next to the protoss base and floating it in just before I wanted to attack with all my marines and SCVs. E v e r y single protoss (including a few GMs I got matched vs. near the end) would invariably take all of his stalkers and sentries, and right click the floating barracks. Then all my stuff poured up his ramp and viola, free win.
The biggest trouble was just competent zergs who opened 14/14 and scouted well and then there are a few blind random build order losses when playing against terran.
