Kind of a quick TL Strategy update:

We've been a little dry over the past couple of months because we've all been busy with lots of school/work stuff. However, we have a few new writers now and we're working on releasing more Terran and Zerg content for the future. I have been playing Zerg fairly seriously for the past 3 months and I'm about ready to start writing confidently about it; you may have noticed that I already comment in the HotS Zerg Help Me Thread quite a bit. My current project is on the subject of scouting in ZvP, which I hope to be finished with by the end of the month (and released sometime in early May).

I hope everyone enjoyed the Protoss Book of Bullshit. Along with Teoita and Whitewing, it was a pleasure to write and really fun to joke around. I understand we may have upset some players in the community, but we're trying to undo the damage with some Terran and Zerg content .


TL Strategy goals at the moment include:

  • Game Analysis from WCS/IEM
  • General Zerg/Terran Guides
  • TLMC Analysis
  • Maybe a Player Spotlight/Map Analysis



If you have any questions, ideas, or requests for guides/game analysis, let me know!

A map analysis would be really cool, especially since we are seeing more diverse maps. A contrast of strategies for different races/matchups on the different maps would be a nice read!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

All the TL strategy in-depth articles have been phenomenal; both pushing the boundaries of theorycraft (I imagine most pros/teams do analysis too but prefer to keep it secret), and educating the community at the same time.

In terms of content, I wouldn't mind seeing an "out-of-the-box" piece, on something like series planning and mindgames, or trends in player development (who's influencing who); although all the standard stuff is awesome too.

John you're my favorite. Also yayyy more zerg content. I've actually been playing the game, so maybe next time I won't have to cheese :D

You, Stuchiu, and I could make a fantastic guide full of zerg bullshit, Just gotta wait for zerg to start winning everything

Good point. We'll look into doing that with the new map pool since we've had such a huge change in maps.

Possibly! If we see another amazing Bo7 from sOs, I think something like that would definitely be worth a write-up! As far as general mind games go, however, a lot of times it's just more useful to do a game analysis on a particular brilliant game than to try and generalize it and make it applicable across several games. Main point: there are so many variables within a game and series, a lot of times it's really hard to pinpoint exactly why someone did something and exactly why it worked. However, whenever sOs does it, it's perfectly seamless and beautiful hehe .
