Very helpful post. As a player just starting to learn the game it's very helpful to know not only some good opening options, but also what times you can expect certain units to hit your base. And seeing what the precursor unit and building timings are to units and pushes it gives a better idea of what to scout for other than just obvious early cheese.

The most common insights given to low league players are "always build harvesters, don't get supply blocked, focus on mechanics, and keep your money low by always building units or structures". All good general points and very important to do, but it seems like the most difficult things to do are 1) know what units to build when (easy to spend money building 'something', not as easy to know what to focus your funds on); 2) knowing when to move forward and 3) knowing timings when certain units of your opponent can be on the field (cloaked banshees, etc). And really, if you read one post about SC2 gameplay you'll know all the general tips (economy/macro/hotkeys). It's good to see some helpful content that falls between the very basics and discussion on high-level builds/games.

I think it would be nice to have the timing of the expansion. for example in "reactor hellion expand". it would be nice to have @MM:SS OC lands at natural

So that if it doesnt land at that time you know somethings going on.

Great job by the way please keep it updated and rolling!

Does anyone know the quickest a terran can get banshees to your base if you steal one of his gases? This would be a great help to us zergies.

It's the same time as normal. They just won't have cloak. A gas steal doesn't even slow down Banshee builds. It just prevents cloak by about 1 minute game time if he doesn't add a 2nd gas. It delays it by less the quicker he takes his 2nd gas.

The gas steal stops Cloak, Thors, and Siege Tech. It does not stop Stim or Blue Flame.

Thank you for keeping the OP current. After the D9D about deductive scouting knowing the all the timings for every match-up is critical. Someone should make like a timeline for each races builds, that would be immensely helpful for the deductive scouting theory.

This is such a great reference but I was wondering if there were any plans to update the Protoss section to reflect the longer warp gate research time?
we make post and then we defense it

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but life keeps interrupting me. I hope to remedy that soon.

Yeah this is very helpful.
I would appreciate the timing of a 6gate vs Terran.

Wow, OK so I finally got off my ass and updated this thread to include the 1.3.3 changes. I've also removed some obsolete protoss builds (in the deprecated section), added two PvP 3 Gate builds, the PvT 2 Gate obs(incomplete) and the TvT 3 Reaper opening.

Edit: 2 Gate Obs Expand is now complete

Can't thank wo1fwood enough for this thread! But I can try. Thank you very much. I'm surprised that liquidpedia doesn't have an entry for Forge FE • +1 attack +14 stalkers +4 sentries @9:30. I remember Artosis saying in SOTG that this heavy stalker play is becoming dominant in Korea. Prevalent may be a better word for it.

That covers the build pretty well, but I'll look into some reps to see if there are any differences or major swings in timings.

EDIT: OK, looks like MC's version is a 3 gate » robo » forge + twilight » +3 gates. the timing is 10:50 for it all to be done. Aaand added the 6 gate.

♥'s man. I did this because TL.net has already helped me be so much better than when I started a year ago. I may actually be OK at this game now (maybe) because of this community.
