this guide is great. really awesome insight

i thought you were being sarcastic when you said mines are my friend, as i usually get pwned hard by mines due to bad micro and late observers

I've incorporated the mine dragging in this guide to pretty good effect... my opponent kept laying mines in really bad positions for himself, so I kept dragging them with dragoons and wiping out his army. He did a 2 fact and was in my natural, and I got both of his tanks, 2 marines, and a vulture with one mine drag, and a few more vultures on one shortly after (had to clear it out anyways and didn't have an obs). Then later I blew up about a dozen vultures he got really careless. xD I wouldn't have won without the first mine drag. The one that blew up almost all his vultures was just icing.

He wasn't that happy. I suppose half the battle is being aware of situations where you can use it to your own advantage. He certainly wasn't aware when he was giving me opening.

the replay pack is missing...

someone have it? i love this guide, but i cant find those reps, plz someone upload it again.

Yep, guide is awesome (and guide within it from BluzMan is a nice read too), but it seems as we should find some good PvT reps on our own - actually it will be pain in the ass for me to do it now as I just have started with BW (yeah, switched from SC2), so would really appreciate if someone still has this pack.

Like I said the last time the rep pack is Really outdated. Good, but outdated just so you know.

Thank you! I'll keep it in mind, but at my current level every hi-level replay is priceless, outdated or not.

Awesome guide :-) All-around good information!

I hope you realize the contents of this guide really don't apply to progaming anymore.
First of all,
"Stay 1 base ahead of the Terran at all times" is probably the worst advice floating around at times. The only time Protoss seems to get a quick third is when they go Reaver against Barracks CC. Otherwise the Protoss goes up to 3 Gateways and/or starts Arbiter/Carrier tech prior to taking their third. Additionally, 2 Gate Goon with Range is almost never used anymore in professional matches. And when it is used...its not used for early harassment. Its used more so to force the Terran into a position where its difficult to take the third base. Consequently tech is highly delayed in this build. But in almost all PvTs, a pro gamer will start their tech early instead of focusing on being 1 base ahead of a Terran at all times.
