[s]starcraft[/s] I have noticed very little on new or old strategies being published lately on any news site. So I took the time and found three interesting short and good strategy posts. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. All are light reads and can be appreciated by any skill level player. This week I will start with Protoss.

Anticipation - by Protoss
The first is made by by Germany DeF_SauRoN_eX in March 2004.
This is a short summary on how to scout Temple by Protoss, anticipate and know what to expect from ‘most’ players in all Protoss match ups. Of course it includes typical responses and does not take into account, nor does it claim to, tactical ruses by sneaky opponents. Read time 2 minutes.

Cannons farmers.
The second one is an analysis made by New Zealand cute_angel_nz in August 2002.
We all know that a goon is mobile cannon and when possible it is better to have a goon than a cannon. This little strategy analysis, despite its years, still holds much truth. She explains in detail why making too many cannons early on in a game is always a mistake and should be avoided. Read time 3 minutes.

Manner Pylon
The third strategy is based on the use of Pylons at your enemy's base, also know as ‘manner’ pylon or rather ill-mannered pylon. The only really effective way to judge this strategy is to actually watch it. Watch Canada Remi_le_fenit try to swindle Canada Scolio a victory. Remi’s was obviously messing around, but note that had he added one cannon and made maybe a pylon less, he might have just pulled it off. This one in no way tends to be a serious strategy, but it does exaggerate the idea of manner pylon by making a good parody of it. Viewing time 12 minutes at fastest speed.

» Remi's crazy replay. Enjoy.

I would like to dedicate this article to Germany DeF_SauRoN_eX, New Zealand cute_angel_nz, and the infamously legendary Canada remi_le_fenit.
