Idea for this thread comes from frenchman Taiche. Basicly from now on I'll be adding a link to any threads that contain good advice whenever I spot one. Threads will be listed by matchup. Hopefully it will become a handy list in time.

I'm sure this will prove to be useful to both noobs, as it will be easier for them to find quality advice, and average gamers, as topics in the strategy forum won't be as repetitive. Thanks for keeping an open mind and taking others' proposals into consideration.

I want to stick to the stuff I think is good strategy


i didn't like that shadowmaster stuff too much, even though i realise he put alot of effort into it and I didn't check that much of his stuff out


and i've never read a guide outside of TL that didn't suck
