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.

Only about a fourth way through, and I'm already happier than a pig in mud. Though, will this guide be updated with metagame changes and/or hots release?

Thanks TL for screwing over the low level metagame not that anyone cares, but w/e



I'm high master EU and I have been struggeling to find out how to approach things like hatchblock or 2 base muta.

This guide has something to offer for every single Protoss out there that hasn't played Code S.

This guide is possibly the most exhaustive piece of gaming strategy I've ever seen. Awesome.

Oh god, I feel like the most commonly used part of the guide will be cannon rushing.

LOL that made me lol irl

I've always had trouble PvZ, maybe with this i'll start off racing again (used to play random and kept switching races)

(my pvz is my worst p matchup, and zvp is also my worst z matchup)

Holy hell this is comprehensive. I'm not sure I'll be able to read the whole thing, but I'll certainly give it a go.

Haven't really had the chance to read it in depth yet, but from what i have read, it seems like a great guide! Sorry if you mentioned this in the article and I haven't read it, but, is this the first in a series where matchuups are broken down or just a one off?


Considering it took 9 months of work, we can't start anything on the other matchups at least until HotS is stabilized, and even then doing something like this is so much work, it's unlikely we'll do anything else at this point for a while.

Holy shit. Just, thanks to everyone that had some input on this. This is amazing.
