Zerg Vs Terran - Infestor Domination Strategy
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.

Zerg Guide - How to Stop the Cannon Rush
We've all been there, staring out the game and just trying to get our build order going correctly but then we realize all too late that the Protoss player has cannons inside our base and his building them closer and closer to our main. This guide will show you how to easily beat a Protoss cannon rush but it would also apply to a bunker rush from a Terran player.
Build a baneling nest and start pumping out zerglings to turn into banelings. The cannons you fall pretty fast to a few banelings so it won't take too much minerals. Make sure you are alert to a possible void ray attack or some other cheese attack like that because the Protoss players like to distract you by building some cannons while they tech up to void rays.
Zerg Guide - The Mutalisk Rush
This guide will show you how to perform a mutalisk rush with the intent of taking out your opponent's workers before they have any decent anti air. This strategy will work best against a Zerg player but it is also possible against Protoss. However, I would not recommend using it against a Terran player because marines do very well against mutalisks.
The key to this strategy is only building zerglings while you save all the gas you mine for the mutas. Pump out zerglings while you wait for the upgrade to finish and send them to harass the enemy. As soon as the lair finishes build a spire and try to build it behind your minerals so the enemy will not see it. If your mutalisk attack fails then you must switch to roaches or hydralisks right away as mutas do very poorly as a main fighting unit.

Terran Guide - How to Counter Terran Units
The reason being is that sometimes it's so difficult to figure out how to counter Terran units when you are playing the same race. How to Counter Marines
1. Siege Tanks- They deal a ridiculous amount of damages.
2. Hellions- They deal +6 damage to light units, plus they're great against bunched units
3. Sniper - Their Sniper round can kill a marine in one shot
How to Counter Mauraders
1. Banshees - Since Mauraders can't attack air this is a no-brainer.
How to Counter Hellions
2. Siege Tank - Simply in Tank mode a Siege Tank can take out three Hellions and walk away with 1/3 its HP. Pretty Awesome.
How to Counter Vikings
- Marines - Kinda strange but I like to mass marines for Vikings
How to Counter Banshees
1. Viking- Pretty much the Pimp of the skies for Terran
2. Marines - These cheap little guys do pretty well against anti-air as well
How to Counter Thors
1. Marines - Against a giant Thor Marines are pretty wimpy but in numbers they can be effective since shooting at a single Marine is a waste for a Thor.
2. Mauraders - They get the +10 bonus damage to armored.
Protoss Basic Build Order
Playing as Protoss is a lot of fun but it can be very frustrating if you don't know the correct starting build order. This guide will show you how to start the game off with the perfect build order for Protoss.
You start with 6 probes so get them to work mining the minerals right away. Build probes until the 9th one pops out. Continue making probes until you hit 12 and then start a gateway. You should have about 16 probes when the gateway finishes so start making a zealot and build another pylon.
When I play against Zerg I would make build a few sentries so I can block the zerglings from running into my base and killing the probes. Build a colossus if he is massing smaller units, build an immortal if he is using bigger units such as thors and tanks or hydralisks and roaches.
