Hope to see the same about PvT. =) Me too. I love PvP and understand the matchup well. But my understanding of PvZ and PvT are more limited. Probably won't happen as PvT and PvZ are both much more complex than PvP and it would take way longer. There were some talks about a PvZ guide by me, cecil, and alej, but that project is on hold for now.

Well written! Really nice.
Greetings.

Great overview on PvP and some really nice analysis on the MC Genius match. I really hate the way people judge PvP, and fail to notice how much it's evolving and developing. It's not a perfect matchup, but as a Protoss i always learn new things about PvP when I'm watching or playing it. The match up is surprisingly complex and it's frustrating when people don't educate themselves on PvP and say dumb statements that were true like 6 months ago.

Finally got to reading this today, great overview monk!

There seems to be something missing here.

Examples: Like one player goes blink the other goes phoenix. gg for the phoenix guy. Player opens phoenix and the other player opens DT's - gg for the phoenix guy. Player opens 3 gate blink obs and the other guy opens 4 gate blink - gg for the robo guy.

This is amazing!! I especially liked the MC v Genius analysis, there's so much more going on there than I was aware of!

you forgot the hidden 2star gate switch into mass voids lol. i actually lost to that opening phoenixes because i missed scouting it......... don't ask!
very nice write-up monk 
also i really like that you stressed that you shouldn't go speed immortal drop on a whim. can't tell you how many times i've run into that going 1g sg phoenix and got flamed for having luck boxed into a free win :D

Your whole post is wrong. If you replace "gg" by "disadvantage" in your post, then maybe there is room for discussion.
Even then, doesn't really mean anything. There are greedy phoenix builds which die to DTs and safe phoenix builds which are good against blink and dts. Same for blink/obs.
To be frank I expect clarification from your post rather then monk's "or not".
