Please move this to the sc2 strat section so it gets proper attention.
There are so many people asking for help on TL who should read this.

Awesome read, thank you so much for going through the trouble of writing all this. Easily the most throughout guide I've ever read, and I've read a lot. Really made me look at my own game differently.

I do have 1 request though. Could you post a couple of replays of those TvZ/TvP/TvT builds you mentioned?
Do feed the Troll.

Seconded. I was only slightly confused when I read this as a blog and not in the strat section. Great info overall, just add reps and this would be complete.

Here are some replays, I've been experimenting mech in TvP a lot during this month, I believe there is only 1 bio TvP game. The others I am still testing around aswell. As soon as I start playing more and spend more time refining them I'll release a more serious replay pack later. Overall this one will suffice enough with the builds I currently has posted. Watch the TvP mech games for your enjoyment =P. Most of the games are high level masters on korean server.

I am high masters but as you said I am quite 'afraid' of laddering. There are so many people that still cheese on the ladder is unbelievable. However, I am also afraid that I might lose too many games in a row and lose my motivation to ladder/play as I think I am simply shit (which gives me the idea of smurfing to make myself feel better!).

However, reading what you wrote actually made sense. There are countless guides on how to get good and how - however reading about this made me feel... somewhat better about myself.

Thanks mate. :D

Thank you, gfever for this amazing post! It shows that you put a lot of time into it, and the insight you give is very interesting.

I have a question about your TvZ play. I can see the potential of the banshee harass, but not the reason why you get that raven out that early. Is it to detect for creep tumors?

thur, thur, thur, thur...It took me a few seconds to figure out what the hell thur was meant to be.

I'm switching from P to T right now though, so at least now I know, I'll be coming back to this thread all the time.

Great read, I want to do what it takes to break into GM and this certainly has opened my eyes. This thread needs a lot more attention than it's getting.
