    Just post your favorite race and strat. Describe your strat and tell why it's your favorite race.

    I'd go with zergs and 6 pooling.
    It's been known since SC1 and still works nice.
    If it fails, I keeping harassing their resource collectors and I roach spam.
    If that fails, I rush for Ultralisk...

    I don't play StarCraft (yet :cool:), but wouldn't it be kind of counter-productive to reveal your strategies to the world? Isn't it a better idea to keep that to yourself? :p

    Does this strategy work most of the time? Most experienced players know to block their chock their chokepoints well with buildings so you can't enter them early on. I like to use an all roach strategy though so it takes a bit longer to build. Maybe if you are really fast with the Zerglings then you'll be able to sneak in and destroy them.

    That almost never works. I always put up defenses as quickly as possible. That is a very risky strategy IMO.

    For me I love Terrans. I like the 1-1-1 build with 1 barracks, 1 factory, and 1 starport. I also like putting down a barracks to begin with and then put down a factory. After that I put down 3 more barracks and produce many marines. Marines and siege tanks FTW. That build beat IdrA in around 6:30.

    It always works when I don't mess up at all. A six pool rush usually either cripples them for the rest of the game or they just give up. If they get crippled I've changed my stray a little. I now just roach spam after the initial crippling. I build spawn 2 overlords and 2 queens after zerglings and then spawn creep tumors and additional spawn like a mad man. Then more drones and overlords. Then roach nest. Then more roaches while still abusing my queens. I'm a hot key fanatic and I've only had a wall before my zergling rush on my 1v1 matches where I accidentally click the wrong base. The easiest way to counter my strat with terrans us to spam scvs build a barracks and spawn a marine. Then rush the zerglings as they attack with workers and let tue marine handle them from behind the workers. Then take all of those units and send them your opponents way while they are defenseless after a 6pool and spam marines for support. That counter has always worked for me when I play Terran v zergs

    Protoss. 4 Gateway build. It's noob but I'm barely getting used to the online play.

    I used to be great at SC1, but I tried using the same tactics as the olden days, and I literally got steamrolled hardcore. They really punish you for not being in the know about new tactics hahahaa

    Oh no no no. That there is a great strategy. I think Deewins is risky. I would love to play someone online who does that and see how I would respond.
