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 amazingly well done guide. The information needed to go into this exists for all the other match ups, but it is important to note that HoTS is coming out. I think that information should be gathered and sorted from the beta to prepare for the creation of this after release of HotS. This should be a model for future projects; with particular emphasis on graphics and the way it is outlined.

/Cheers

well i don't think too much information should be gathered during the beta because the game will always be changing..wait until thegame settles down then start to gather a lot of info on new builds, strats etc.

Hi,
This article is huge and not everyone may want to read it in one go. If any of you travel frequently and uses Kindle (lol), this might help. I converted PDF to MOBI that is used by Kindle (not Fire HD). Unfortunately, pictures are poorly displayed and broken. However, the text remains clear and almost everything is intact.

This is the link to the file
http://zebik.republika.pl/PvZ Guide.zip

PS> THe zip file contains Cover, MOBI file (the one), and OTF file that is I believe used by Calibre to maintain meta info. If this file violates copyrights (I hope not, I gave all possible credits) I will remove the link from this forum. If not, I hope i can help others. If think the MOBI file has to uploaded to the device and it will be ready to use.

This is a really great guide. I just have one comment. A lot of gate first builds include an early forge, but many don't. If you have it, great, but building a forge re-actively to scouting early all-ins is an unnecessary departure from the build order. In the case of an in-base hatchery, it's also a great way to lose. If you don't have a forge, defend pressure with gateway units. 90 seconds of waiting for the forge and then cannons to finish plus 450 minerals down the drain is a huge waste for an attack that may not even be coming.

Amazing guide. Currently trying to learn Hero's stargate into robo into 4gate build. However I'm having trouble hitting the benchmarks since it seems like I'm just not getting enough minerals in the early game, and therefor all my buildings are late, with the stargate being made 30 seconds later than what the benchmark is. Not sure if it's because I'm not mineral stacking well enough, or if Hero possesses ancient Korean magic.
For Aiur!

When that happens it's simply better probe production most of the time.

That's definitely a factor later on, since I'm only in plat, but even in the first few minutes, where there's not much for me to mess up, he's able to get his forge about 15 seconds faster, and his gateway 30 seconds faster, which adds up over time.

Provide a replay somewhere and someone can help you figure out if you're doing anything wrong.
