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.

I noticed there is no real discussion of cannon rushing the zerg's fast third base.

This happens relatively frequently in pro level matches and it's never quite clear to me the state of the game after the rush ends.

We literally looked at almost every PvZ in every major tournament in the past 9 months or so, and the only successful cannon rushes are in this guide.

Legendary. This does the game justice.

I enjoyed the history/evolution of the matchup the most.

I'd like to mention... Although you are correct that roach/hydra/corruptor uses too much gas to transition into infestor/broodlord, you can actually go for a hydra/broodlord composition instead.

It is not as resilient as infestor/broodlord without fungal growth, but the hydralisks are just like infested terrans, except they are permanent units. It's not as strong as infestor-based hive armies, but the transition is very quick and smooth. The threat aggression hardly ever stops.

i feel like its too "zerg mistake" dependent for it to work because lings will be out/checking for the proxies. I feel like cannoning the nat would be more effective since the pool most likely wont be done. I also cant really think of any game other than symbol vs seed where it was successfully done.

Too bad there's no need for a ZvP equivalent, LOL.

This is amazing. Well fucking done.
