Starcraft 2 - Zerg Vs Protoss Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

When playing against a Protoss player the first thing you need to look out for is a proxy. Make sure to scout around your base and just outside of your base. After you have established that the Protoss player is not going to proxy you will need to focus and countering the strategy your opponent decides to go with.

The most common Protoss strategy is to use zealots/sentries/stalkers. If you see this coming you will need to mainly focus on getting roaches and hydralisks. I would not recommend using very many zerglings because the sentries can use force fields to keep them away from melee range while they and the stalkers take them out with ranged attacks. I would also stay away from mutalisks because they take a 100 gas to make and you will simply not be able to keep up with the stalkers that do good damage to air and only take 50 gas to make.

Use your roach/hyrdalisk army to keep the Protoss player from expanding while you expand. After this it's a simple matter of producing units faster then the Protoss player can. A smart Protoss player will switch to colossus because they are very good against roaches and hydralisks. If you see this coming then you should pump out a few corruptors as they do very good damage to air units and colossus can be attacked by air and ground.

Instead of going zealots/sentries/stalkers he may go for dark templars and try to surprise attack you before you have any overseers, so be sure to grab an overseer as soon as you can. And of course one of the favorite early attacks for Protoss is to cannon in and go for quick void rays, this is being used a lot right now because Zerg is weak against air in the early game. So make sure you scout them and build spore crawlers around your drones if you see this coming.

Becoming an advanced Starcraft 2 player is very challenging and confusing. I purchased the Starcraft 2 Advanced Strategy Guide from http://www.Star2Pros.com and I have been very impressed with the strategies they teach. I would highly recommend it to any Starcraft 2 player who wants to get to the top of the Diamond Ladders, I think this guide might be the only one of its kind.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Zerg Versus Terran Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

When playing against a Terran player you must always keep an eye out for reaper rushes early on, to counter this make sure you keep a few zerglings close to your drones. After this you must focus on a few different Terran strategies, which we will cover below.

The most common Terran strategy is to use the marine/marauder with either dropships or tanks or in some cases both. The best way for Zerg to counter this is to stay away from roaches and go zerglings with the speed upgrade (speedlings) and hydralisks. Roaches do very poorly against marauders, because marauders do extra damage against armored units and roaches are armored. The key here is to expand early and keep Terran from expanding with your speedlings. After you have established your second base just keep building up your army and starve out the Terran player. Be sure to keep an eye on all of the extra possible base locations and if Terran tries to expand take it out quickly. After the Terran's main base runs out of minerals he will have no choice but to attack you in which case you should have no trouble winning.

A few other things you need to watch for when playing Terran are the dropship attacks and the cloaked banshee attacks on your main base. To defend against this just make sure you get an overseer and keep him around you base and keep scouts around the map so you will see the dropships coming and be ready for them. But ultimately the key to beating Terran is to starve them; if you let a good Terran player expand they are very hard to kill as they have a very good combination of units to handle anything that Zerg players can throw at them. We have a harder time beating Terran then we do beating a Protoss player.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Zerg Versus Zerg Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

So you are playing another Zerg? Well this will be a true test of your skills. You have a few choices in the this game and you also need to watch out for a few different kinds of attacks. The first attack you should watch out for is the speedling/baneling attack. You need to scout often to make sure our opponent isn't building banelings. If you are not ready for this attack it can cripple your drones and effectively end the game very quickly. I would recommend also getting a few banelings and speedlings to counter this but I would not recommend getting a ton of banelings, just enough to take out his. Another thing you need to keep on eye on is a fast tech to mutalisks. This is easy to counter if you see it coming (the key in this type of game is to always know what your opponent is building). To counter mutalisks get hydralisks and you shouldn't have any trouble taking him out.

Of course the main attack choice of a Zerg player is to go roaches/hydralisks so most of the games you play vs Zerg will go this way. The best way to win against this is to also go roaches/hydralisks but also grab a few banelings and if you use them correctly it will turn the game in your favor. In a Zerg vs Zerg game I would always grab a few banelings as they are the one unit that can get you the edge in a large battle.

Going back to the mutalisks for a second I would strong recommend staying away from them yourself. The reason is simple, they take 100 gas to make and they get beat pretty easily by hydralisks which only take 75 gas to make. So you can see that going for mutalisks in this type of game is often a death wish for a Zerg player.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Terran Vs Terran Basic Strategy

Your ranking relative to your opponent's (who is favored to win?)

The reason that you want to take note of who is favored is that generally the favored player will feel more confident and thus play more aggressive often leading to a quicker attack on his part. You can take advantage of this. In this guide we will explore two different strategies against your Terran opponent.

First consider an aggressive move to Siege Tanks. After completing your first barracks move straight to building a factory. You'll want to get a couple marines to ward off harassing reapers. Also throw down a second refinery. As soon as your factory is complete move into building a Starport. While your Starport is being constructed attach a Fusion Reactor to your Factory. This will finish before your Starport does so go ahead and lift off your Factory and relocate it within your base. At this point I would construct another Factory and add a tech lab onto your existing Factory. Next lift your completed Starport onto the Fusion Reactor and quickly make two Vikings to counter enemy banshees. When your Tech Lab on your Factory finishes begin building tanks quickly, also you'll want to research siege mode for your tanks as soon as you can. Tanks and Mauraders can make a deadly combination. However you'll want to have a formidable amount of Vikings present to counter air attacks. Once you have enough tanks build you can expand to another mine or, if you feel you would be favored in a fight, launch an assault. However effective this method is, its limiting factor is most definitely the amount of Vespene Gas you have available so the quicker you move to your refineries the better. Remember to upgrade to Stim Packs for your Mauraders.

Another effective method is to harass your enemy while solidly expanding. After your fist Barracks is completely its usually a good idea to make a couple of marines to counter a quick rush or ward off reapers. After that quickly move to build a second refinery and start your Factory as well. Once your Factory finishes start making Hellions and Mauraders. When you have completed about 4 Mauraders and 6 Hellions you should move into harassing mode. If your enemy is playing towards and early expansion your Hellions will be effective at countering that with their speed. With your own base you're left with several options. If you feel like playing for an end game then expanding to a second mine is a must. You can throw down another Barracks and mass some Marines and Mauraders to cover you while you expand. If your harassing is successful at retreating your enemy then I would recommend an aggressive build with another Barracks and Factory along with a Starport for Dropships and anti-air support.

Becoming an advanced Starcraft 2 player is very challenging and confusing. I purchased the Starcraft 2 Advanced Strategy Guide from Star2Pros.com and I have been very impressed with the strategies they teach. I would highly recommend it to any Starcraft 2 player who wants to get to the top of the Diamond Ladders, I think this guide might be the only one of its kind.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Terran Vs Protoss Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

As it stands, Terran is at a definite disadvantage to Protoss. The standard Marines, Mauraders, and dropships are simply not enough to stand against the Protoss, Zealot, Sentry, and Stalker combination. So in case your tired of losing to Protoss using the same old Terran build, the following is a very effective strategy for Terran against Protoss. And, you will notice that Mauraders aren't used at all! This strategy implements a combination of Siege Tanks, Ghosts, and marines for anti-air. Of course you don't want to limit yourself to just those units but they will be the main components of your army. Ghosts have become used increasingly more against Protoss because of their EMP ability to drain the shields of Protoss units, shifting the battle heavily in favor of Terran.

To begin You'll start off with the illusion of a standard Terran build. A supply depot at 9 supply, then straight into a barracks at 11. A scouting probe will think that you are going to mass Marines and Mauraders. However you're gonna change things up a bit. At 13 supply throw down your first refinery. Then upgrade to your orbital command at 15 supply. You're gonna want to pump marines to ward off any zealot rush while you build. At 16 supply grab your second refinery. This strategy requires quite a bit of gas. Next you'll want to tech on a reactor to your barracks to double your Marine building. Now instead of building a second Barracks were going to move straight for a Factory. You will want to pump a few Hellions when your Factory finishes. Following your factory immediately move into a Starport. You will want a Tech Lab on your Factory for Siege Tanks. Once your Starport finishes go ahead and tech to a Tech Lab as well. Now I heavily recommend getting a Raven as soon as your Tech Lab finishes for a couple reasons. One, you will want to ward off any nosy Observers. Also your Raven will come in very handy later.

After this initial build, Siege Tanks are going to be your main priority. You should have a decent army of Marines and Hellions to deflect any incoming attack. Usually the next move would be to begin your first expansion. Once Siege Tanks start coming out you should have plenty of base defense to defend your expansion. The next priority is your Ghosts. This is a must. Their EMP's can change the momentum of a battle with Protoss in a hurry. A second Factory is in order as well to increase tank production.

Something else I would recommend with this strategy is to build a couple of Banshee's in order to harass as well as scout. Once your opponent realizes that he can't beat your ground game he's almost certain to go air if he hasn't already. In this case you'll want to keep your marine production up as well as build a few Vikings. The last thing you want is to have a mass of Tanks and no defense against Void Rays or worse, Carriers.

This strategy has proven to be very effective against the Protoss ground game. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work immediately. As with all things it will take practice. However if you devote the time it will definitely pay off.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Zerg's Hydralisk and Infestor Strategy

Comments (0)

The hydralisk and infestor combo is being used more and more on battlenet right now because of the power of these two combined units. This strategy should not be overlooked for a less effective army such as roaches and hydralisks. This guide will show you why to consider using this combo and how use it the right way.

The infestor and hydralisk combo is very effective against an army of small units such as marines and marauders or zealots and stalkers. The infestor can use fungal growth to weaken the units and the hydralisks will finish them off quickly with their ranged attacks. This combo is also perfect for taking on larger units such as thors and tanks or colossus and immortals. The infestor can use neural parasite to take control of the large units and turn them against the enemy while the hydralisks will provide protection for the infestors. This combo is also good against an air attack because of the hydralisk's ability to hit air. However, it will not be able to take on a larger air attack such as mass carriers so make sure you keep an eye out for that and get some corruptors if you see it coming.

You must upgrade to a lair pretty early on so you well be able to build both the infestors and hydralisks. You will need to delay your first expansion until you have the lair upgrade started and build zerglings for protection while you wait. You will be a little weak early on in the game but you will catch up fast when you start pumping out the infestors and hydras. It will take some practice to be able to use the infestors perfectly in the battles but after you have it down there will be few opponents that will be able to put up a real fight.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 Zerg Guide - Ultralisk Strategy

Comments (0)

Ultralisks are the ultimate unit a Zerg player can get in a game. They are very time consuming to tech up to and build but once you have them the game will turn in your favor. This guide will show you how to use them correctly and when it is a bad idea to build them.

Ultralisks cost 300 minerals and 200 gas so they are not cheap and of course they take forever to tech up to because you must be upgraded to a hive before you can build the ultralisk cavern. They can also burrow which is very cool and they have a speed upgrade so they can run pretty quickly with that. Their attacks are area of effect attacks, which just means that they hit a lot of targets at the same time.

Now lets talk about when to get ultralisks and when to stay away from building them. Ultralisks only hit ground targets and do very well against groups of small units so naturally they are very good against groups of marines and marauders or zealots and stalkers but all in all they do pretty well against any ground unit the enemy will through at you. So it's a good idea to build them if your opponent doesn't have any air units. Of course on the flip side don't build them if you are being attacked from the air, unless you have a lot of corruptors to handle the air.

I would also recommend getting the armor and attack upgrades for the ultralisk as they are definitely worth spending the minerals and gas on. A group of upgraded ultralisk is a sight that will make your enemy tremble in fear, unless of course he has air units in which case he would probably just smile. Good luck and I hope to see you on battlenet!

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Protoss Vs Protoss Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

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. Of course when you are playing against another Protoss player you must always be one step ahead of him to win. 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. If he is using a lot of zealots and stalkers then pump out a few colossus to handle that, just make sure you keep a few zealots to shield the colossus from attacks. If he decided to use some colossus himself you should build a few immortals as they will make short work of the colossus. Always try to scout him and see what is coming. If you see dark templars coming then you will need to make an observer as fast as you can to detect them. If he is dumb enough to try and make carriers then just build up your army and attack his base while is low on defense because all the minerals are going toward building the carriers.

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. Good luck and I hope to see you on battlenet soon!

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Protoss Vs Terran Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

Playing as Protoss against Terran can be a very difficult game as Terran is so unpredictable and hard to scout. Protoss must know what the enemy is doing so they can build the correct counter units but this is a challenge against good Terran players. This guide will show you how to beat a Terran player 1v1.

The first thing we need to talk about is scouting, the key to winning the game as a Protoss player is using the correct units to counter what your opponent is making. So I recommend building an observer as soon as you can and getting it into the Terran base to see what he is doing.

If the Terran player is using a lot of marines and marauders then build a few colossus, as they will make short work of them, just make sure you also have a bunch of zealots to shield the colossus from too many attacks. If the Terran playing is using thors or tanks then build some immortals as they will dominate the thors and tanks without even taking that much damage. The Terran player might make an air attack with vikings and banshees. When you see this coming just build a bunch of stalkers and they shouldn't have much trouble taking down the banshees. I wouldn't recommend building air units when playing against Terran because marines do decent damage to air units and that alone will be enough to defend against your void ray attack or even a few carriers.

Another thing to watch out for at the start of the game is the reaper attack. To defend against this just make sure you get a few stalkers as soon as you can. If you follow this guide and learn the strengths and weaknesses of your units then you should have not trouble beating a good Terran player.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Protoss Vs Zerg Basic Strategy

Comments (0)

Playing against a good Zerg player can be challenging but with the right units a Protoss player can dominate. This guide will show you how to beat a Zerg player 1v1 by using the right unit counters and scouting techniques.

The key to winning this type of game is scouting, you need to know what units they are going to send at you, so I would recommend getting an observer pretty early on in the game. If he is making a lot of zerglings you need to build a colossus or 2 really fast and they will make short work of the zerglings, just make sure you have a few zealots and stalkers to defend the colossus from attacks. If he is using a lot of roaches and hydralisks then you should build immortals as they do very well against roaches and hydras. If he is dumb enough to try and attack you with mutalisks then just build up a bunch of stalkers and you should have no trouble taking them out. Those 3 are the main attacks that a Zerg player with through at you so winning this type of game is pretty straightforward.

Of course there is one other major option that a Zerg player can use and that is building infestors. A good Zerg player with infestors can be a big problem for us so keep an eye out for these and if you see them coming the smartest thing to do is build some air units such as void rays or phoenix to handle the infestors from the air. If you follow this guide and learn the strenghts and weaknesses of your units then beating even a very good Zerg player can be a breeze. Good luck and I hope to see you on battlenet soon!

Starcraft 2 - Terran Harassment Strategy

Comments (0)

In Starcraft 2 harassment is the name of the game. If you can keep yourself one step ahead of your opponent by using harassment techniques, chances are you'll pull out a win in the end. This is especially true when playing as Terran. In this guide I will show you the basics of effective Terran harassment.

Vikings are possibly my favorite Terran unit. A lot of newer players will easily dismiss them as "useless" since they don't attack ground units unless in assault mode. But once you start seeing their usefulness you'll soon change your mind.

One of the best maps for viking harassment is kulas ravine. A 1v1 map that has of lot of high ground overlooking mineral expansion points. This can be especially effective against Zerg since they have very little anti-air in the early game. If the Zerg player expands early get a starport and build a few vikings. You can drop them on the high ground right overlooking the expansion. This gives them a perfect opportunity to pick off drones like flies and the best part is that your opponent will not be able to see them since they are up high. Then once your opponent has brought his forces up you can lift off your Vikings and drop them behind his mineral line in his main base. This tactic is very simple but can become a nightmare for your opponent.

Tactics like this are also useful when playing against a Protoss player as well. The vikings however should not be used as a main attack unit as they do poorly in most ground battles. You should use the vikings to harass and distract while you build up enough marines and marauders to finish them off. This is a simple yet effective strategy for Terran harassments that will work surprisingly well.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Terran Counter Unit Strategy

Comments (0)

So you want to learn the correct Terran counter units? In this guide I will show you the basics of countering as a Terran player when playing against Zerg and Protoss. This a general guide and is meant as an overview of the Terran counter units.

First we will talk about playing against a Zerg player. The Zerg could throw a few different units at you and one of them is the early zerglings attack. The correct Terran counter unit for this attack is the hellion as it will do very good damage to groups of ground units like the zergling. Another attack the Zerg likes to use is the roach and hydro combo. The best Terran counter unit for this is the tank and thor combo as they will simply destroy the Zerg attack. The last thing a Zerg player might try is the mutalisk attack in which case you should just make marines and if you have a starport build some vikings.

When playing against a Protoss player the first thing you should look for the is zealot and stalker combo. A good Terran unit counter for this is again the tank and thor combo, just make sure you have a few marines in front to protect the tanks. The Protoss player may try using colossus or immortals. To take out colossus just use thors as the colossus is not good at doing damage to large units. To destroy the immortals you will need to use marines and maybe some hellions, keep your tanks and thors away from the immortal as it is desgined to take down large units. Lastly he may try to use void rays and the perfect Terran counter unit for that is your vikings. Just build a few and you should have no trouble taking the void rays out.

If you learn these Terran counter units you should have no trouble beating even a diamond ladder Protoss or Zerg player!

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Starcraft 2 - Zerg Counter Unit Strategy

Comments (0)

When you play Starcraft 2 as Zerg it is very important to know which units you should build in order to counter your opponent's attacks. This guide will show you how to build the right units at the right time in order to defeat your enemy. The is a general guide and is not for advanced players.

When you play against Terran there are you a few units you have to watch out for and correctly counter in order to win. The first is the dreaded marine marauder combo that most Terran players love to use these days. The Zerg counter to this is simple, banelings and zerglings. The banelings will take out entire groups of marines and marauders without much trouble and the zerglings will clean up the leftovers. Another unit you need to watchout for is the thor. The Zerg counter to this is an infestor, use the infestor to take control of the thor and turn it against the Terran player. You will also need to watchout for the early reaper attack. The Zerg counter for this is to make zerglings early and get them speed upgrade in the spawning pool going as soon as you can. Your zerglings will be faster then the reaper so you can just chase them down and kill them all before they get back to their base.

Now lets talk about playing against Protoss. The Protoss may use a zealot and stalker combo in which case you should again build an army of banelings and zerglings to take them out. If he makes colossus you should build infestors and take control of it. He may make immportals in which case you should stay away from making roaches and hydros and build speed upgraded zerglings as they make short work of the immortals. He may go air with the void rays and if he does this the perfect Zerg counter is corruptors. Don't make mutalisks as they fall way to quickly to stalkers and are a waste of gas.

Learn these Zerg counters and you should have no trouble beating even a diamond ladder Protoss or Terran player!

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Zerg Guide - Early Expansion Strategy

Comments (0)

As a Zerg player we need to realize that our strength is in out gathering and out producing our opponents. We have a hard time keeping up with the higher tech units of Terran and Protoss. So to counter this we need expand faster and more often then our enemy while at the same time keeping them from expanding. This guide will teach you the basics of the Zerg early expansion strategy.

There is a trade off with the early expansion because instead of upgrading to a lair we must use those minerals to build the new hatchery. This will leave us very open to an air attack since we will basically have nothing to attack air. So we need to keep the enemy busy so he will not be able to tech and will also be focused on playing defense and not attack our base. Use zerglings to harass the enemy and keep them busy while at the same time building up your second base.

As soon as you have upgraded to a lair you should have 2 bases up and running while our opponent will only have one. At this point you need to get hydralisks so you have some anti air. Use your army to keep him from expanding and just wait him out. When he starts to run out of minerals he will have no choice but to attack you. At that point it should be no trouble winning the battle, which will effectively end the game.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Zerg Vs Terran - The Starving Strategy

Comments (0)

I don't know about you but I hate playing against a good Terran player, the Zerg vs Terran matchup is a very difficult game to win. This guide will teach you the basics of beating a Terran player.

The reason Terran seems to rip us apart is because of their ability to tech up to units like the thor and medivac. There are only 2 ways that we can beat a good Terran player. The first is harassing with zerglings and banelings but this can be difficult to master. The second is the fast expand and starve strategy which we are going to discuss here.

Our strength is the cheap cost of expanding and we need to use this to our advantage. Start off the game by getting a few zerglings and expand as soon as you have the minerals. Use your zerglings to harass the Terran player and keep them playing defense, also do not let them expand. Midway through the game you should have two bases up and running while he still has one. Switch to hydralisks and continue to just wait him out. When his minerals start running out he will have to try and expand so he will attack you. You shouldn't have any trouble winning the battle with all your hydralisks. After that the game is pretty much over since he will not have any income. When you master this strategy you will be able to beat even a very good Terran player without much trouble.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Zerg Vs Protoss - Winning by Starving Strategy

Comments (0)

It can be a real challenge to win a Zerg vs Protoss game because of the Protoss ability to make the perfect counter units to whatever we might throw at them. If we make zerglings they make zealots and colossus. If we make roaches they make the perfect counter which is immortals. If we make hydralisks they make stalkers and colossus. Whatever we do they have the perfect counter right at their fingertips. So how do we win against Protoss? We win be simply out-producing and out-gathering them. This guide will show you how to beat a good Protoss player by using a starve strategy.

The key to this is expanding early and keeping the Protoss player from expanding. Start off the game and make a few zerglings to harass the Protoss player and keep him busy so he can't expand. Instead of upgrading to a lair use the minerals to expand. By delaying the lair upgrade you will not be able to defend against an air attack so make sure you check the Protoss base to see if he is going for a void rush. After the expansion is up and running switch to hydralisks and get an army together. I would also build a few corruptors as they are very good against colossus and void rays. Keep the Protoss player from expanding and just wait him out, don't attack his main base. After a while he will run out of minerals and have no other option but to attack you. You should have no problems beating him at this point because you are running with two bases while he only has one.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!

Zerg Vs Terran - Infestor Domination Strategy

Comments (0)

The Zerg investor is an incredibly powerful unit to use when playing a Zerg vs Terran game. The reason for this is simple, the infestor is great against groups of bio units such as marines and marauders and the infestor is unstoppable against large ground units such as the mighty thor and tank. This guide will instruct you on how to use the infestor correctly and when you should not use them at all when playing against Terran.

The key to winning this game is scouting so you know what the Terran player is up to. You can use your overlord to fly over the Terran base and see what he is making. His marines will most likely kill your overlord but it is a worthy trade for knowledge.

If the Terran player is making marines and marauders with medivacs then you should use an infestor and zergling combo. Use the zerglings to keep his marines and marauders busy while your infestors use fungal growth on them. Fungal growth will do 36 damage to his whole army and your zerglings should not have much trouble cleaning up the rest. If the Terran player goes with thors or tanks then have your zerglings keep them busy while you get your infestors close enough to use neural parasite on them. This will give you control of his units for a short time and after this its game over. Just use your zerglings to finish off any units he has left. So as you can see infestors are the perfect unit for winning a Zerg vs Terran game.

Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!
