Zerg Vs Terran - Beating Marines and Marauders

We Zerg players hate going up against a good Terran player who uses marines, marauders, and medivacs. Our army of roaches and hydralisks get ripped apart by the marauders getting constantly healing by the medivacs. This guide will show you how to take out the famed marine, marauder, medivac army that most Terran players are using on battlenet right now.
The key to winning this type of game is going back to the basics and by basics I mean the basic unit, zerglings and their cousins the baneling. Banelings will make very short work of marines and marauders and the speed zerglings will get upclose and personal with the marauders who like to stay at range. After the reaper rush fails the Terran player will swtich over to his main army and you will start building some banelings. The only thing you need to watchout for is if the Terran player techs to banshees.

Zerg's Nydus Network Guide

In this guide I will show you how to effectively use the Zerg's nydus network. The nydus network is an attack tool but I recommend using it to harass our opponent and not for a full out attack. It only costs 150 minerals and is quick to build. The key to deploying the network is the overlord's ability to generate creep.
In short you will get a group of speed upgraded zerglings and/or banelings and then send an overlord to drop some creep in the enemy's base. As soon as the creep is down build the worm and send all your zerglings and banelings through. Go straight for the workers and ignore any attack units they have. Third, I would not recommend using this against Zerg players as it would be just as easy and cheaper to run the zerglings right in the front door of the base.

Zerg Vs Protoss - Beating Colossus and Immortals

Playing a Zerg vs Protoss game can be very frustrating if you don't know the correct counters for colossus and immortals. This guide will teach you the correct counters for the Protoss colossus and immortal.
First lets talk about the colossus. The colossus is a great unit for taking out groups of small units such as zerglings, roaches, or hydralisks. These are of course almost always the main attack units of a Zerg army so what unit do we need to use in order to take down a colossus? The answer is the infestor, the reason is because with the infestor's neural parasite ability we can take control of the colossus and turn it against the Protoss player for a short while. If the Protoss player makes both of those units then you should go all air by making corruptors and mutalisks.

General Terran Build Order

You face a drop in mineral collection when you steal SCV's from your minerals to mine gas, and also when you need SCV's for building. To counter this Starcraft 2 introduces the MULE. Initially I recommend starting with nine SCV's. When you hit 9 on your supply go ahead and build your first supply. Use the same SCV that you built the supply depot with to build your barracks. Always keep an SCV building at your command center. When the barracks finishes use the same SCV to finish blocking your wall by building another supply depot right there. On your 14th SCV you can go ahead with refinery. IF you stop building SCV's at 14 supply then you will have enough minerals to upgrade to orbital command as soon as your barracks finishes. Once your refinery finishes make sure you snag two more SCV's to mine gas. You will want to make a couple marines as well in order to counter a zergling rush or terran reapers. Next you probably want to build another barracks unless your tanking straight to banshees or siege tanks. At this point you should also have 50 Vespene gas to attach a tech lab to your first barracks. Once your orbital command is finished upgrading call down a mule and continue making SCV's. When your tech lab completes you want to produce mauraders and marines (don't forget to add a Fusion Reactor to your other barracks to make two marines at a time). Terran are the most well rounded race in terms of an early game strategy and countering opposing units.

Protoss Vs Protoss Basic Strategy

Protoss vs Protoss is a classic battle of wits. Playing as the Protoss race is all about countering your opponent's attacks with the perfect units. This guide will give you the basics of beating a Protoss player in a 1v1 game.
Your base unit is going to be the zealot and you will build from there depending on which units your enemy throws at you. Make sure you scout as much as you can and check to see if he is building air such as void rays. If he is then you should build a bunch of stalkers and you will have no trouble taking them down. Defeating Protoss is pretty straightforward, as you just need to build the correct counters to handle what he is doing. If you follow this guide and learn the strengths of your units, you will have no trouble beating a good Protoss player.
