Scout faster.

Seriously. Send an earlier scout but when you scout make the SCV do a round in your base to check first since theres no way you would've seen that probe as he sent it almost immediately.

Haha, I learned this the hard way when I was trying to learn how to play Terran. Destination was one of the MOTW, and the first four games I played was on that map, and all four of them involved an in-base proxy 2gate. I didn't learn better until the fourth game.

Wasn't there already a thread about this... search for it and look at some of the youtubes about defending horrorgates.

Other than that, scout faster... look at the reps and watch for warning signs. Just play it safer than you normally would

afaik all the pro terrans send one of their early scouting scvs to a round through their own base before heading towards the enemy.

Always, always, always scout your own base on Destination, and if you are not very confident, scout early. I like to scout at 9, then my depot don't get delayed, and I can see all kind of rush coming.

Scouting your base cost almost nothing. Maybe 8 or 16 minerals, or will delay your scout a tiny bit.

Get your turret timing right, especially if you don't scout range upgd, and it should be fine.

try analyzing the reps yourself first, sometimes you can solve your own problem right there.
or else it just looks like you put no effort into it.

I bet the term horror gates came from someone misunderstanding WHORE gates, which seems more accurate...
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I dont know why you wouldnt scout for in base proxy gates every game. I have only had that done to me 2-3 times, but after the first time it happened I have made sure to check every game.

edit: and please dotn call them horror gates. They are called in base proxy gates.

Destination is the map to expect cheese. The other maps ain't so bad (Except other 2v2s)

Somehow, a lot of Ps love to cheese on this particular map lol.

If you don't scout your base on destination, then you are basically just asking for this to happen.

Another super common cheese is protoss making a robobay at the 3rd base with the bridge and reaver rushing, so scout for that too. Also they sometimes make gateways in your expansion on the far side, so might also wanna scout for that Man desti is the ultimate cheese map lol.
