Still I'm thinking you've missed some regarding TvP evolution: Fall 2014 moving away from the standard 3 base scv pulls styles that were pretty much standard meta since the death of hellbat drops in early hots. The 2 base widow mine style of play has pretty much defined the korean meta since last fall. Rarely do we see standard 3 racks openings into a 3 base scv pull these days. Even more recently the popularity of factory openers (w/mine/hellion drops) pushed korean protoss into opening stargate almost universally, which allowed Terran's to start opening 3 cc before 2nd/3rd barracks/factory to the point where the old scv pull style has had a small revival. We even saw phoenix colossus become the fairly common metagame in June of this year as a response to the vikingless style that became massively popular on maps like Expedition Lost, etc. ' | ||

So yeah, early HotS PvZ is my favorite match-up of all time, hands down. | ||
