I am highly impressed by the quality of the writeup, the depth undergone (including specific timing windows and objectives vs all MUs), the examples provided, and by the TL Strategy community in general. Although this is a Berlin Wall of text, it is surprisingly dense. I applaud the links to the various parts of the MU as it makes navigating this guide much easier.

My one nitpick is that the font color and size makes it difficult to read. Hah, large text = hard to read? Yes. I liked the dense introductory paragraph's font size much more. HOWEVER, that is a very SMALL detail in an otherwise IMPECCABLE writeup.

Thank you again for your (collective) efforts!

impressive write up, the amount of work is tremendous and the guide is very well done.
I am a Z and I will have to hunt you down for providing a full guideline to TvZ to everyone out there.
Unless... unless you do the same for Z!

We're not accepting donations atm, but the author of the guide doesn't have TL+ yet, hint hint. I'm sure you could find a post of his in this thread.

What an absolute terrible piece of work

I mean, just look at this weak writing:

Use medivacs and mines to ensure that you do not lose any units. The main target is creep and you should be using medivacs and mines to ensure that you do not lose any units.

The whole thing is riddled with redundancy and repetitiveness.

For the swarm!

Nice guide, I just hit high masters (top 3) yesterday playing random, and surprisingly a ton of TvZ wins got me there.

I usually follow up the reaper harass with a widow mine drop (cc factory cc starport) though, and I find it more effective when my zerg opponents aren't at the highest level. You force spores and early lair when the zerg player sees widow mines, and sometimes you even net quite a few drone kills if they aren't watching the minimap.

The damage done (drone kills, forced zerglings & spores) usually allows me to safely take my 3rd behind a few widow mines and some marines, and with the faster starport tech I can constantly drop safely (since no mutas would be out at that timing) or at least scout with the medivac saving a few scans.

Any thoughts on widow mine drops in TvZ?

TBH, even if the guide is aweseome (wich it is), I don't like it, because as Terran I would prefer a new build or something more else, not the most-used mix on the entire metagame, from pros to noobs on Ladder.

Anyway good guide, but please try to do others more useful about builds or mixes that are harder to play, require more skill, or at least are different from the bread and butter on TvZ nowadays =/
