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.

Okay does anybody has ever seen a match-up specific guide be that deep on any game ? This is just an insanely precise and thoughtful guide T___T

Amazing guide. Read through intro, cannon rush and skimmed other sections. Bookmarked for later (and repeat) reference.

If I weren't in the middle of writing other projects and working on a UMS map I'd be inspired to support (a likely far inferior) TvT guide.

Not very in-depth, but a cool compilation of a lot of stuff nonetheless.

After HOTS is out this might become less relevant. And it's so close.

Reported. Please read the Strategy Forum Guidelines:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=338554

Thus, the first rule of opening a new thread is that all threads must have at least one of the 3 main tags([H][D][G]) in the thread title and may include the [L] Low Level tag. Tagging your threads is very important, as the difference between [D] Stephano Style and [G] Stephano Style is worlds apart. Please use thread categorization correctly as described below. It give readers a reasonable expectation of what they can expect to find once opening the thread and you will get faster feedback faster as well. Categorizing threads also makes it easier to find threads later on using the search function.

I log into Teamliquid once in a blue moon. Not only do I log in once in a blue moon, I might have posted once or twice. That being said, I would like to grant the participants of this guide the highest level of compliment. THIS is the kind of material that I love to see. In-depth, thorough, thoughtful guides. Congratulations.

I will be looking forward to other guides like this. Preferably guides on basic mechanics. In the future, I think Teamliquid should publicize their intent to make large guides like this, they might receive a little bit of help from generous TL members (if you know what I mean).

Absolutely amazing. Thanks TL.

Should we keep simple questions to the other thread or should all pvz questions go in this thread from now on?

In some of my games i like to go 14 forge, then upon scouting I pylon block the zerg hatch and go for a 20-21 nexus. Using the extra supply from the pylon at their natural. With good scouting its perfectly safe. Do you think proves viable at all levels, and f so why don't people do it?
