There are no plans for a guide to other match-ups at this time. This guide was an entirely organic effort from TL community members of similar interests.

Wow this guide! <3

I look forward to eventually seeing one for every MU, but trying to keep this updated will be something with HotS just around the corner.

Holy mother of god this guide o.O

We need guides like this for every MU Big thumbs up for the guys Like Monk who made this possible great initiative!
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Because a Hatch takes 100 seconds to build and a cannon takes 40, a well timed cannon rush will start the cannons when the Hatch is about 65% complete to make sure it finishes right as the cannons are also finishing. If the cannons were to complete before the Hatch, the Zerg player could just cancel it setting the Protoss player behind. On the other hand, if the Hatch finishes before the cannons, it will turn into completely wasted minerals since the few Lings built in the early game are not enough to defend it.


Specifically you want to place your cannon just after the hatchery is at 960 hp.

◦Mid level Protoss players in the diamond to high masters range will benefit the most as they will be able to fill in certain strategical holes in their play.

This is just incredible. Wow. Never will I ever have an excuse to lose a PvZ! At least that's what I will now tell myself. You make the world a better place with work like this.
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums, what a shame that you came here with someone.
