I’ve not long ago started a new team. All the players are individually talented, no question of that. But our pushes a little off.

I was thinking of reasons why and it’s mainly our ubers leave a lot to be desired. So I’m thinking of ways to improve them.

Then I watched Day9’s (sc2) funday monday where he imposes silly restrictions on players and then he pulls out good aspects of games that are submitted.

Here’s the thing I want my team to try and do –

play a whole map without using an offensive uber – only using ubers to save points or the medic.

Then, once we’ve done well at that a few times, try it the other way around. No defensive ubers.

Opinions?

If your pushes are off, it’s better to work on offensive ubers first. You won’t learn much about pushing by wiping their uber and going in when no-one is left on their team.

It sounds to me like your players aren’t really sure what to do during a push. Just try and work out some coordination between your players, like who goes in with your medic with uber, who goes to the flanks etc, and work out good timings on when each player should push in and what they should be doing during.

Introduce them to my bondage boutique… It motivates them not to fail.

that, plus maybe have (if you split up) the scouts tell you when they’re ready etc and have ONE person call the *go now*.

so you’re all telling me that if we did these no-uber pushes, we wouldn’t learn anything from them? We’d just get rolled…

sounds like a challenge to me

I still don’t understand why teams wait till they have uber. If you both don’t have uber 6v6, just push!

Just send in a class to suicide them and force their uber early, fall back and counter push!
