Amazing guide thank you so much! Ever since I switched to random I've been having such a hard time vs Zerg. I think the main issue is that since Zergs were so underpowered for such a long time, zerg players had to overcome so much adversity and practice so hard that once they received a few buffs that set them even with other races, well... zerg players skill level in general did all the talking. AMAZING WORK.
Never pass up a good thing.

Wonderful work, guys/girls. In depth, very detailed, and well written.
Shame I can't use it, being Terran, but it should help me follow and understand the PvZ matches in tournaments I'm watching. Kudos.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Any plans for another matchup writeup in the future? Im serious about the donation, does TL have a way to donate to TL? I know you guys didn't do it for that but. . Well tis the season I guess .

Tbh, I would accept donations if we actually had expenses when making the guide. But there's honestly nothing significant I can think of and I don't want to take money from people if it's not directly going to help with the upkeep and maintenance of this guide or to help with the writing of future guides. If anyone has any ideas of ways money could actually go to the guide, I'd be up for that.

In other news, thanks for everyone who responded to me, offering to volunteer for future updates/guides. I now have a team of at least 10 additional people who offered to do busy work. And even though there are no concrete plans for a future guide, there will probably be future guides. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but I'm currently trying to recruit a team of guide-writers from other races. Hopefully, one day, we can get all 9 match-ups.

As i recently decided to do somewhat of a switch into protoss (platinum), i've found this guide tremendously helping.
Mostly it has helped me with timings, which i find crucial for the todays PvZ. Also, the viable late-game setups.

This will be my bible and my coursework.
Thanks to monk, Alejandrisha, CecilSunkure, rsvp, Teoita, wo1fwood, Blazinghand, and others.

Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

Awesome guide and really great in-depth explanations. I think there is a typo in the Hero Stargate FEE build though:

On November 23 2012 03:49 monk. wrote:
Hero standard build(Stargate into Robo into 4 Gate)
Recommended Build Order:

From the first Gateway-Zealot, Stalker, Zealot, Sentry.
5:30: Stargate with your first 150 gas.
6:45: 3rd gas.
Stargate units: 1 Void Ray, 5 Phoenixes, optional 2nd Void Ray.
7:10: Robo.
7:50: +1 Weapons.
7:50: 4th gas.
8:25: 3 extra Gates.
Robo units: Observer, Immortals as necessary .
10:20 (ideally): 3rd Nexus; because of the initally low unit count it might be delayed .
10:50: 2 extra Gates.

Pretty sure the 3rd gas timing should be at 5:45 and not at 6:45.

It's correct actually. HerO delays his gas a TON with that build since he gets such late sentries and +1.

Wow I thought most stargate builds get 3rd gas before stargate and 4th gas once it finishes. Do the extra minerals help with getting the faster robo? Isn't it a bit unsafe to delay your sentry in case of any Zerg all ins?

You wouldn't go into that specific stargate build that cuts sentries if you don't see the third hatch. You can reactively choose to do something like that, or a different build (like mc's) that gets faster sentries off 3 gasses.

I agree it's a bit of a funky build, but it does work out really well.

Have you considered that your time is worth an amount of money? How many hours were spent putting this together?
