Zerg Roach Rush
Well I would suggest a roach rush but you must know a few things first. This guide will show you how and when to rush with roaches and when you stay away from making roaches.
The roach rush can be very powerful and effective if used right but it can also cost you the game if you use it wrong. Right the bat lets talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the roach unit, the roach does very high damage and is also a armored unit, so what does that mean? It means the roach will do very poorly against a marauder because the marauder does extra damage to armored units. The roach is very strong against a zealot, stalker, or marine. I would normally skip right over zerglings and build a roach warren as soon as the spawning pool is done.

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.
