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.

This is an excellent guide; however, I found one mistake.

Protoss versus Zerg is a very dynamic and asymmetrical match-up in which both sides have a myriad of strategies to pick from and their own unique racial advantages. At different points of the game, one race will be driving the direction of the game while the other has to react. A typical modern PvZ has the following major stages:


It should read something like "both sides have myriad strategies..."

Ha, this is awesome. It's is the first sc2 dissertation. You all deserve to be awarded a PhD in pvz studies.

Really nice guide. Probably the best resource for P players on the internet.

Jesus christ, this is looks absolutely epic. i hope their will be something similiar for TvZ/TvT/TvP one day.


What's T? Is that like a third race or something. All I see is Protoss and Zerg in every tournament :p
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

This is not a guide, this is a thesis on PvZ. Well done.

I've been look over this for quite a while now, I must say this is beyond impressive. Thank you so much to monk and everyone else who contributed.

I'm not currently playing Protoss atm, but I just came off a few months of playing as them and I may start playing some more Toss just to put this guide to use for me; PvZ was by far my worst Toss matchup.

As Protoss has been struggling so much against Zerg lately, this was definitely the best choice for the first matchup to do this for. I don't know if you guys have plans to continue this kind of guide for other matchups, but if you do I will be so grateful, as will many other players I'm sure.
