I just hate this matchup. It really isn't that fun at all. Between the manner pylons and proxy gates every game to cannnon expands and storm/dt drops it is probably my least favorite matchup to play. This is a problem because I can't go not playing through 1/3 of my matches.

Maybe it's because I'm not that great at the matchup. Maybe it's because almost every protoss I play happens to be better than me. Fuck pvp -_-

Yeah, I find it pretty bland myself.

The problem is that the pvp/total match ratio is bigger than 1/3 on iccup

the reasons you hate pvp is the reasons everyone hates playing against protoss. Your just a really fucking gay race to play against.

edit: only 1/3rd of your matches? I haven't been on iccup lately but when I was playing vP was like 4/5 of my matches.

pvp at D = usually easy. Think of a starting strategy, 1 gate or 2 gate.. If he goes 1 gate and then core, but yours was up first, I sometimes hold a goon and zeal at my choke and get DTs before he can cannon up. Once that becomes ineffective, expand because you'll be ahead in eco. Then you can throw down like 4 more gateways, get obs, and just micro your dragoons at him. Just make sure to keep pumping goons after 2 DTs

PvP is fun when you defend manner-pylon-2gate-cannon-rush-proxy-rush-noob-strategy then get a 14 kill DT... and then get steamrolled cus the other guy just made dragons and observers...

No, it sucks.

I'm about to start playing PvP myself in 15 more games, than I'll have 100 PvT games down, the first/only MU I've learned.

I like the idea as it is hard counters, and not having to see vulture mines for 200 more games (doing 100 PvP than 100 PvZ, than all).

And I will defiantly be walling on Destination like a madman! I've heard Tasteless say about a billion times how important scouting is on PvP, I'd prefer to let him only see my gate, pylon, and zealot/probe.

I do got to admit I'm not going to be looking foward to manner pylons, and dt rushes, they r my fav tricks in PvT now it'll be revenge back at me! lol
