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 Versus Zerg Basic Strategy
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. 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. 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.
So you can see that going for mutalisks in this type of game is often a death wish for a Zerg player.
Using Roaches Effectively
The roach can be a very powerful unit if used right but it can also be a very poor choice against certain units. This guide will show you how to correctly use the roach when playing against Terran and Protoss. Also the roach does very high damage but its attack speed is slow. This is important because the Terran marauders and the Protoss stalkers both do extra damage to armored units. So this means if you see either marauders or stalkers then stay away from making the roach and tech to the hydralisk instead, roaches also do very poorly against an immortal. In most cases you can win the game very early with a mass roach attack.

Terran Unit Counter Guide
So you're playing Terran, in the middle of a 1v1 game. You've scouted your opponent pretty well and you have a decent idea of what kind of strategy he's using. One thing that will make you a successful Starcraft 2 player is your ability to counter your opponents units. I've put together a list of my favorite Terran counters.
Let's say your opponent is Zerg: If he Techs to Mutalisks I almost always go straight Vikings and Marines. Hellions, Siege Tanks, and even Mauraders will be much more effective. Now against a Protoss Opponent: If they use a Zealot, Sentry, Stalker combo, I usually counter with Mauraders, Hellions and Tanks. Finally against an army of Colossus, Vikings will be the most effective, accompanied by Siege Tanks.
Generally though I'll try and counter my opponents units. If I see him going Bionic (Marines, Mauraders, Ghosts) I love to counter with Hellions and Tanks.
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.
