Not excatly the best tips; Battlecruisers are terrible in TvP, as Protoss has masses of Dragoons at that stage of the game; EMPing the arbiters would be better. Also scouts are almost never used in PvT unless you're Bisu. Recalling archons would be pretty ineffective you wouldn't be able to squeeze many in there. Zerg needs more gas than Protoss for Ultralisks and Lurkers. These tips were probably made when the game was released and there wasn't much strategy


I can't tell if he's joking or not.. =(

i think its the same guide that came from the battle chest i bought my sc bw from...so im guessing its pretty out dated and was made before the korean pro scene was known to the gaming community..or something like that lol nevertheless its kinda funny to see how what was considered good advice then is laughed at now haha

ROFL Prima guides are all shit. Full of supposed "pro-gamers" quoting shit and random dumb examples that don't add up to the gameplay.
No dough, no go. And no mercy.

Actually the guide is quite intelligent from a theorycraft perspective from the pre-progaming era.
Unfortunately there are large, practical and basic logical aspects which were completely neglected even then, for example how to obtain the optimum mineral income from one base (as fast-expanding was inexistent) as fast as possible, as in, the author(s) never conducted any precise tests of the gameplay, more specifically, they vastly neglected the economic part, which is normal to consider in a strategy game that requires resource gathering.

Prima isn't an innocent noob, he's just a noob
