I second chameleonia. Excellent guide. Teaches not only a specific BO, but also Zerg moves and how to react to them.

I wish I could read Korean XP that PGR site looks like it's full of great guides.

Good God.

Reading this guide compelled me to sift through the rest of the material on pgr21 and try to translate. I completely forgot that I am hardly fluent in Korean. It took me several minutes to translate the title of one guide, and all it came down to was reading phonetically English words spelled in Korean.

Poo-roh-Gae-Eem-Moo. etc.etc.

Very well written! I'll definitely give this a read when I get home.

Thanks a lot! This is actually really close to what i've been doing recently in PvZ, but it's nice to know the korean timings to get the most efficient build

Exceedingly nice guide, it incorporates so many aspects of the matchup, even some that are not specific to the build.

nice strategy and nice explanation
if u see den or den/spire dont go more then 1 sair and save gas for goon/ob speed faster tech and higher upgrades
watching lately pvz in kor league with mass sair +1/reaver/zealot style,zerg starting to kill that sairs really easily and reaver harasses doesnt do much dmg lately due to good hydra micro or drone burrowing
rather spend gas for early upgrades or high templars
if u lose that 1st sair start another one to go one more scouting in betwen your 2nd expo and first coming out or first battle to dont get countered or fucked up by switch muta counter.

You know... I've raped a lot of people with surprise 4 gate builds. Generally Z will assume you're doing a safe expo with some sort of quick tech as defense, like sair/dt. When Othello was MOTW I think I went like 10-1 doing that vs B/B+ Koreans a couple of seasons ago. You just have to hide it well and watch them closely so you get the right upgrades/tech/units... sometimes you'll want zeal/temp, other zeal archon, sometimes even zeal/dt (6 zeals 6 dt are pretty harsh vs an unprepared zerg).

Fun stuff.

Plz, don't even compare. Tiki doesn't even run anymore and no Eagle can compare. Jacobs wouldn't even run if Tiki felt like playing. -_-;; Tiki Tiki Tiki, he is the Ultimate Warrior. Plus, he's tele-genic. Sorta like George Foreman is ~_~ You have terrible taste.

Why did I ramble about such things? Cuz I updated the guide and no 12-girl Japanese teenie bop band lover is gonna tell me about no runnin backs. You never touched a football in your life!!!!!

I think I am finishing up most things, but PvZ is a stupid match up with so many variables and to sort through comments to see who's are worthwhile and who's are absolutely jokes are hard. Then you have to translate it... Then you have to... ... O that's it. But it's still a pain.

According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

I was reluctant to use this build because I'm so used to my 4-6 sair, reaver harass into hanbang off 2 base. I finally used it on Destination and won. I love this build now and it's much better for these newer maps.
