Effectively Using Creep
The Zerg's creep is one of the most underrated parts of the Zerg game. Creep gives the Zerg player the following advantages. Second, it will stop your opponent from expanding by not being able to build on the creep. So lets talk about the ways to spread creep, if you have ever watched a replay of a high level Zerg player you may have noticed that by the end of the game most of the map is covered in creep. Well Starcraft 2 makes it easy for us to spread creep by using our overlords. You first must upgrade to a Lair and then every overlord has the ability to spread creep. You can then turn it on so the overlords will spread creep automatically whenever they come to a stop somewhere. I tend to send the overlords to the empty bases and wait for my opponent to try expanding.

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 - Earlyrly Expansion Strategy
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.
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.

Terran Vs Protoss Basic Strategy
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. This strategy implements a combination of Siege Tanks, Ghosts, and marines for anti-air. 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. However you're gonna change things up a bit. 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. Next you'll want to tech on a reactor to your barracks to double your Marine building. 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. You should have a decent army of Marines and Hellions to deflect any incoming attack. Once Siege Tanks start coming out you should have plenty of base defense to defend your expansion. 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. This strategy has proven to be very effective against the Protoss ground game. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work immediately.
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.
