If you Gundam Push and your opponent Reaver/DT drops you main what should you do? Do you have enough units at the push to just attack and win or what?

i find alot of terraners who start up a gundam push in my base, clean the min line first or set up camp at my gateways so i cant get goons out without severe damage. but yeh thats when i reaver/dt them. basically try to grab the tossers ramp and pushing from there is much easier.

when u say reaver/dt ur main, are u talkin DEAD? or just ur min line is clean...

Reaver or DT drop, the fast builds. Since both of them take away from tosses units count but Gundam push makes yours huge, could it be possible to just simply attack their base and win, or is HovZ's advice correct (I somehow doubt it).

Try placing a few mines in key spots in your main.
Most DT drops are left at the edges of your base, though reavers are always close to your mins, which can be a problem, but good micro/placement can keep you alive.

HovZ, do you ever have anything to contribute?

i just did contribute moron, if u gundam and toss drops ur base they will drop as ur guys are half way in the middle of the map. 3 mines wont stop a dt drop, and they sure as hell wont stop a reaver and 2 zeals. u lose. so u type gg and leave

Simply because you can't contend with something Hovz, doesn't mean it can't be beaten. If you gundam and you suspect a drop, leave a damn vult or two behind. They don't take long to make. He'll have low troop count. Probably no obs, particularly if DT.

How is someone who thinks so rigidly considered a good SC player?

I'm not good, but even from watching pro replays, I think gundam push is a weak strategy if you are not Gundam, and even then I have my doubts.

yes, he contributes often and I learn alot by just reading his comments.

the reaver drop comes fastest.. Don't forget that if you pull back your scvs very fast when the reaver comes out, you won't lose alot and you can just use the next tank that pops out to defend your main.

The DT drop is slower but harder to stop I think. Use a turret and 2 mines around it.. every protoss player always moves his DT towards the turret to kill it.. then the dt is gg

for both types of drop, you can anticipate that they will come if you made your bunker and sieged up in front of his main and nobody tried to stop you.

a rushed DT drop comes so fast it makes my head spin...
I think it comes like around the time you get dual upgrades for your vults if you go 2 fac speed vults.

HovZ, as much as I admire your skill, there is much to be desired with the way you articulate things.

First of all, the question is what you should do if you gundam push and toss reavers or dts your base. The fact that that you think typing GG is the only thing to do is ridiculous.

The correct answer is to infact pull your troops back and use the mines of your vultures. You have better than a 75% chance of countering the dt drop especially if you've already set up a turret.

I know more about BW than you could possibly fathom. The fact of the matter is, I'm not a good player. I know what to do, how to do it, but I can never actually do it myself; I get flustered and stop thinking in game. That you automatically concede defeat to a reaver/dt drop because you gundamed, shows that you really lack imagination/creativity.
