Zealot rush with at least 3-4 gateways ftw. Wondering why it isn't called the gateways rush. No wonder it's in the advanced strategy section.

Most of this is written from a Big Game Hunters perspective (yeah the kind with 3 gas nodes and unlimited resources). The way they say "you will need 2-3 gas geysers" without mentioning taking additional bases is just an easy giveaway.
Take us into orbit Mr. Malmsteen. We've seen enough.

Shields Upgrades
By far the most useful upgrade for the Protoss, the Plasma Shield upgrade will add to the shield maximum for all units and buildings. Combined with Armor upgrades, you can noticeably increase the lifespan of your units. As such, the Plasma Shield Upgrade should always be researched as early as possible.

Fuck you Blizzard.


In all honestly, this may be the only true statement you quoted.


Yeah, thats actually my favourite quote from the compendium. So far.

No jokes here, this sounds fucking awesome.


Reminds me of a TvZ on Neo Medusa where T got about 8 Firebats, splashed the temples to death and bypassed the wall of sunkens. So kinda like that without a dropship.


NaDa vs Savior IIRC

omigod, read this

http://classic.battle.net/scc/zerg/zvz.shtml

Mutalisks are the perfect counter to Zerglings.


Zergling vs. Zergling encounters are fairly easy to manage

If built in very large numbers (100+), Zerglings can be used to completely flood an enemy base and tear everything down in a very short period of time.


Well it's a true statement, but you could replace "Zerglings" with any unit there...

You mean Blizzard didn't have a crystal ball to predict what strategies people would use ten years in the future? This is almost as bad as bnet 2.0.

From the ZvZ section:
Probably even more so than with Zerglings, having the clear advantage in Hydralisk numbers will determine the outcome of a Zerg vs. Zerg battle.


From the ZvP section:
The Protoss Scout is one of the deadliest air to air combat units found in the game.


Also, there is a whole paragraph about "Countering Shield Battery Tactics".

However, if you know your Terran opponent is going to build mass Battlecruisers, your best bet is to get as many Dark Archons as possible and research Mind Control.

And you can also use them to feedback the mass wraith army that terran built up earlier
