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. | ||

"if you suspect a baneling bust then you have to play ultra defensive" doesn't answer any questions unless you describe what you are looking for that will arouse suspicion, and how much you react to it. If zerg takes his gas while his queen is in production and your probe is scouting the 3rd, you will NOT see the gas with a probe. everything will look normal, and you have no reason to suspect anything. Is seeing 6-8 slow lings instead of 4 reason to suspect something? because that's all he needs to show you until its too late. How many cannons does that entail? | ||

Unless you're Terran, then go away. I is sad  But in all seriousness, I'm definitely keeping this guide handy whenever I get bored and make the switch back to random. I've never really nailed down FFE, so this will definitely be useful. | ||

You just have to appreciate that if you can't get a good scout off, cutting cannons is a risk. It's a risk which most of the time pays off (unless you play vs Zenio) but going up to three cannons if you are blind is what I would consider safe. Will it put you behind if they play standard? Absolutely. That's the toss up you have. | ||

My second reaction: Holy crap this guide... Literally the most in-depth guide I have seen in my life. This is amazing, I will have to put this to use and improve my Protoss prowess! | ||

One criticism i would have is the lack of depth in the gate nexus section. It seems like the creators of this guide don't use gate nexus very often, so that part of the guide seems to lack a bit of experience and mostly referred to the FFE part when it came to the midgame and defending all ins. Hopefully someone with a bit more gate nexus experience can add to that section. | ||
