Awesome posts. I'd love to have these guides in .pdf format to print and keep on my desk for easy reference and maybe to give away to some people who normally donn't read TL.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome job!

I would love to see an alternate guide after you learn to use infestors.

This is a great post, parts of it remind of Sun Tzus art of war.

Thank you.

This might seem a stupid question.

How do you deal with THE CLIFF on lost temple?
You might find it impossible to believe, but i played around 1k games without anyone ever abusing that against me. in the last few days Ive gotten thor/tank dropped a few times, and I had no idea how to counter it.

vs a thor drop, I can delay it a little bit with a couple spines on the low ground and overlord spotting, but then they'll bring a second thor and repairing scvs. its impossible to take out repair thors with the number of mutas you can get out before they kill your nat.

tank builds will also have a ton of marines which will shoo away mutas.
Ive tried getting ov speed and drop as soon as lair is done instead of spire but I still cant get that up in time.

Excellent Guide!

I found your mindcharts a bit hard to read so I made a flowchart out of them:
[image loading]
I think I'm prob going to try to sum up the entire guide in this style then print them out so I have a quick reference.

You don't seem to have a chart that encompasses late game strategy so I'll probably end up extrapolating that from your guide.

Scouting alone deserves its own chart so that'll be next on my to do list.

Best most detailed post to date in Starcraft 2 Strategy Section.

Only part I would disagree with is the 20 muta's to kill a turret by scv's. I would think 16 would be the better number however of course 20 is better.

Yeah, 16 Mutas sounds like a lot less than they actually are. 20 Mutas is a game-winning number if you can get to them without getting fucked over economically.

Wish there were a way to permanently store this so that it doesn't get lost in the infinite amount of posts in the Strategy section.

This, and Plexa's PvZ guide (which has sadly been lost) are some of the real standouts!

Very well written guide dude. I think you did a great job of covering most of the things that T can throw at a Z. Only advise I have is to maybe include a few screenshots to make the wall of text easier on the eyes.

GOOD JOB WRITING THIS! This will help me a lot in darker times ^^ Sometimes I just lose it and forget everything I know because terran has 10zillion diff openings and timings. This helps me to grasp the basics again! A recommendation for every zerg!
