I quit Z for T at the beginning of the infestor/broodlord-era and then went to P at the beginning of hots-beta and now I thought I'd complete the circle so this is perfect for me.

One small thing: after today's matches by DRG this overview needs at least a small mention of burrow and its application as both scouting and counterattack tool (not to mention freaking terrans out and making them waste scans).

A way to know if the Protoss is doing some weird early DT or stargate build is his expansion timing; if he’s doing a tech build with a tech building before expansion, his expansion will start a lot later then normal (the normal gate expand player takes his natural at 3:45-4 minutes).

Advice like this is probably why Zerg players freak out when they play against me...

Sick guide, though! It's good to see that the non-Protoss guide writers are finally stepping it up.


I would personally have said the gas expenditure of the Protoss is more important - the number of sentries would be a lot lower than usual if the Protoss is going for DTs.

I have trouble finding the ZvP and ZvT progames in the replay pack, I take it I'm doing something wrong?

Looks good so far, Brade!

Great guide, nice work. And I'm glad you don't advocate Stephano style Swarm Host + mass static defense turtling. Effective it may be, but that style is unfun to play, unfun to play against, and unfun to watch, so I hope it just dies out.
