So I didn't really want to post this rep up on the Strategy forum, because it was a game that I won and I think if I posted a game I won, I'd probably be criticized or I'd probably look arrogant. I decided to post it here in my blog.
I opened up with the normal Siege expand -> Flash Build, choosing to make 3 marines because the entrance is unblockable. My opponent went an extremely early reaver rush, which essentially caused no damage, because I was able to build turrets + siege mode came just in time to defend the rush which coulda killed me if I didn't have turrets + siege mode. I then put up 4 more factories quickly, because I saw him take his 3rd relatively quickly. I went for a 5 fact timing push. However, it failed. The game eventually went into the late game phase and I eventually ended up winning, which I don't understand how I pulled off.

My question is, how could I have protected the gas expansions which I tried to get up when I don't have much units because I'm running low on gas? Why did my Timing push fail? Should I have went for mass vultures based on the very low amount of gas that I had? Thanks.

Why are you still playing on Luna?

Use more vulture drops. And more dropships in general.
Entry level StarCraft players -_-

It was on East and newer maps generally aren't circulated that well on East so I just joined a Luna game. I'm not sure a drop would have been a good solution, mainly because the problem with dropping is that at most of his expos, he had cannons so vulture drops probably wouldn't have been very effective. Also, I devoted most of my resources to that timing push so a drop would have been extremely late.

Im gonna check your replay soon, but as I was reading your post it striked me the first mistake you were doing was trying to do a flash build. There's no close 3rd gas here so that build is obiously not good.
And second of all I think that map Luna is a little bit shitty, and few players even plays it anymore. So I would suggjuest you to play more modern maps. You can't even accmulate the same gas amount as in other maps, cuz u would need 4 scvs to get full gas saturatation. So a normal timing push in the mid game should be with only one machine shop if u want to make a quick one.
