hi would like to bump this thread re: pushing on Desti:

I played vs a C- highest toss (im D at the moment, 1st season iccup) and he went with 2 gate triple nexus (which i was too afraid scout for fear of heavygoon) and i went for the 6 fac push. I moved to his half of the map and was trying to hardpush into his army and got totally raped by zeals.

Me spawned bottom, toss spawned top

Question here is, where do i start setting up the slow push? I'm thinking of making an oblique line from the 2nd bridges to his right and shelling his gas from that side as that is the narrowest line possible, but that way i wont get leverage on his 3rd base, so what would be suggestion?

I also realised that his ridiculously fast expo meant a booming econ for him and a huge timing window that i obviously did not take advantage of.

Rep here, please comment on the (several) mistakes that i have made thanks:

i tried to ask the toss for his comments but he speaks spanish. i would say the average apms would be about 220ish for toss and 160 for myself.
Thanks in advance =D

i think what idra is saying applies to progamers and A players.. for me as a C player i think timing pushes are still good and can still give you easy wins. i know that macroing up on 3-4 bases is also good but playing every TvP like that just makes me crazy.

rep link doesnt work but your push came too late. thats the danger of 6 fac. if they got the double expo up really fast and see your push coming they just cut probes and go 9 gate speedlot. against something like 2 gate triple nex with no tech its better to go fac cc fac and attack with 4 tanks 4 marines and rallied vultures, or something like that. the timing window comes very early, because the 3rd nexus and economy kick in so fast that your 6 fac push will be too late.

Hmm i'm having much problems with defending harass like DT drops and macro, but most problematic now are the push mechanics and defending arbs (which i assume that most D players have to overcome before going up to C and beyond).

im gona take another look at fantasy's tvps on desti and see if theres any optimal way to push into the P's half of the map since on desti they can just take a roundabout and counter your nat ez
