Good guide man! Nice how you support everything with videos.
But you forgot to mention when to build the second depot in the 1 rax gasless expo build^^
extended thermal lances aka extended imbalances

Thank you for this build guide. I used your second build and scouting technique. It was amazing! Stalker poked and I went in with scv and saw 4 gate. Really good game to watch [image loading]

Excellent resource. I've actually just started to be swayed to going the 1 rax - CC - 3 more rax build and your video guide is a good explanation of things to look for and things to do.

Nice work. Thank you very much. I haven't checked it out yet (I'm about to right now), but when people spend the time to put things like this together, especially with videos, it's very helpful. So thanks.

That is his sc2ranks profile btw

Cool little guide I guess, conc shells + rauder count and turtling onto 1 base is the proper response to blink play.

I want to thank you for making this guide. Up until now, I had no idea how to deal with TvP and after reading/watching your guide, I've learned a lot about scouting openings. You have no idea how much this helped me. ^^

I like this playstyle, but do you ever find yourself having trouble vs people doing weird 1 base 4gate robo all-ins?

I find that the two immortals or extra stalkers that they put up hurt a lot.. however I normally get 2-3 bunkers at most and you have many more. That might be the difference.

Excellent guide dude, this should be linked in the Guidelines thread as a prime example of what kind of thread the Strategy Forum should consist of :D

Is there any chance you would be willing/able to make a similar guide for us mechers?

A TvZ guide would be much appreciated!

Thank you very much for this excellent guide. I'm a platinum Terran and normally I get absolutely crushed by Protoss. After using your scout timings and first macro build... the TvP matchup now seems almost comically easy at my level.

Thank you sooooo much!!

Looking forward to a TvZ guide, my TvP was already pretty damn good but now with ironing out the appropriate scouting times, I just haven't lost.

Thanks a bunch, great guide.

Great guide! I am also in top masters and matched with GMs now and then. I learned a lot from your build and analysis.

I like that you know the scout timings. Would be nice if we could have a longer list like what time does the first colossus come out after a fast exp? When would a DT rush come? whats the fastest storm timing?

Awesome guide, I really enjoyed watching through that long game with you commentating your decisions, etc. Really looking forward to the next guide!

PS: gotta love them bunkers.

You are making more threads vs Zerg and vs Terran, right? This is probably one of the best guides I've seen.

Unless you've already made those guides and they got buried.

Love these guides man, especially the youtube vods. Makes it so much easier to understand if you can watch and hear at the same time. Would be awesome if you could make a whole macrogame vod and explain your thoughtprocess through the game, think many terrans are abit lost when they get to mid-late game.

something you forgot that is _ABSOLUTELY_ essential:

if your scouting SCV only sees two pylons in the protoss base by the time the cyber core is finished and a stalker is being produced, there is a proxy pylon somewhere, 100% guaranteed. run the scv out and find that little bugger immediately; chances are it's probably a stargate (proxy for twilight council can come after 3rd pylon, but your scv won't survive in the base long enough to see a 4th pylon go down).
my hair is a wookie, your argument is invalid

is your 1 bunker on the high ground? because if it isnt its way too late to play on a not tal darim map. boxer gets it after his second supply depot on every map. Really nice write up otherwise but id wish you would go more into the mid/lategame.
