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.

Monk, you've outdone yourself this time. I have not read a single guide that comes close to surpassing this, and I thought Belial's guides fit the word comprehensive well enough. Good god. I love you.

Wow, i am speechless rly great build//guide//post Awesome guys! gj My only complaint (wich is not rly a complaint about the guide itself but still) would be that the ultimate answer to the matchup is carriers in this guide and i just can't agree i think carrier take 1-too long to build and 2- they can be focus fired by corruptors wich the zerg can remax on soo quickly compare to the production of the toss player. But yes i do agree that the carrier route has not fully been explored yet has the potential answer to zerg lategame, but i wouldn't say that it's THE answer yet because in my opininon this is simply not the case at the moment.

Very nice article, especially when you read between the lines: FFE into all-ins or be prepared to lose most of your games.

The detail that has been poured into this article, or rather, more aptly, handbook, is commendable. It is things like this which make TL such an awesome site and also to some degree the whole community. This is passion manifest folks, doesn't get much more awesome than this.

Wow, just wow. This is an amazing compilation of stats and facts about this match up. There is so much more depth than I ever expected.

I'm only part way through it now, but I just wanted to type "BRAVO!" This is incredible. It is answering so many questions I've had about both the way players play and the things that casters mention something that I don't quite follow.

Certainly much more detailed than the regular just hit the vortex theory

This guide is insane, I'm looking forward to making a good read of it with a few cups of coffee.

This is fantastic. I can't imagine how much work went into this. I would love to see the other match ups written about with this much detail!
Edit: saw that they weren't panning on making the other match ups, but that doesn't take away the depth of this article and how much TL readers appreciate it!

"Protoss versus Zerg is a very dynamic and asymmetrical match-up"

What

whaaaaaat

You mean it's not "scout the P doing an all in while macroing to broods, all game every game"?

Very nice guide, of course, but I personally feel ZvP is the stalest MU in the game.

That doesn't necessarily have to mention the fact that most BOs are similar, or even that there is a general flow that 90% of games have to go through. It also is worth mentioning that the matchup is almost entirely different from any matchup in the game.

This is unbelievably awesome.

Will need to take some time and really sift through it.

Great work!
