*** On all of these strategies continue to make more Probes, upgrade, and don't forget to expand!! ***

Build Order:
1. Build another Probe so you have 5 Probes.
2. Once you have 100 Minerals build a Pylon.
3. Once you have 150 Minerals build a Gateway or two if you have enough Minerals.
4. Build Zealots and once you have roughly 5-10, rush your opponent.

Hints:
To pull this off, you must build very quickly. You may also try building more than 5 Probes if you want more Zealots and need to rush faster. Build a few more Gateways if you plan to rush later in the game. Continue to have Pylon building ahead of the amount of people you have so you can get your Zealots out fast. When you attack go straight for the Gatherers to stop their income. Keep on sending Zealots until you break their main defenses or you realize this strategy will not work.

Build Order:
1. Build 7 Probes and send them mining.
2. Build a Pylon and two Gateways and an Assimilator.
3. Build 4 Probes to mine from the Vespene Geyser.
4. Start buliding Zealots.
5. Once you have 10 Zealots build a few more Gateways and a Cybernetics Core.
6. Once the Cybernetics Core is complete upgrade the Dragoons range and build Dragoons.
7. Continue to build Dragoons and Zealots until you feel you are ready to attack.

Hints:
If your economy is doing great build 12-14 Gateways. Don't forget continue building Dragoons and Zealots. Have about 2 Probes per Mineral Field. Also, build Photon Cannons for defense early in the game. You will need to expand on Blizzard maps to use this strategy!!

Build Order:
1. Build 7 Probes and send them mining.
2. Build a Pylon and two Gateways and an Assimilator.
3. Build 4 Probes to mine from the Vespene Geyser.
4. Start buliding Zealots.
5. Once you have 10 Zealots build a few more Gateways and a Citadel of Adun.
6. Once the Citadel has been built upgrade the Zealots speed and build a Templar Archives.
7. Continue to build Zealots.
8. Once the Archives are finished build an even number of Templar and merge them together.
9. Continue to build Zealots and Templar while merging the Templar.
10. Once you have enough units attack your opponent and continue to send in more reinforcements.

Hints:
If your economy can handle it build as many Gateways as you can. Continue to build units. If you are playing Brood War build a few Dark Templar. Also have a few Templar at your base with Psionic Storm upgrade to use. Have about 2 Probes per Mineral Field. Also, build Photon Cannons for defense early in the game. You will need to expand on Blizzard maps to use this strategy!!

Build Order:
1. Get a lot of Probes and send them mining for Vespene and Minerals.
2. Building Cannons for early defense is a good idea.
3. Build a few Pylons and a Gateway, once the gateway is done build 5-10 zealots for protection.
4. Build a Cybernetics Core and 3-5 Stargates and a Fleet Beacon.
5. Upgrade your Carrier Interceptors at the Fleet Beacon.
6. Build about 12 Carriers then attack your opponent.

Hints:
Try to fly your Carriers around their main defense. Have 2 Probes per Mineral Field and 2 Vespene Gas mines. You will have to expand on Blizzard maps. Continue to build units.

Some other ideas of what to build are:
1. Zealots and Arbiter
2. Mass Scouts (Weak ground attack, good for an all out air opponent)
3. Dark Templar rush (Brood War)
4. Photon Cannon Offense (This is my personal favorite)
5. Dark Archon Offense (Take over their people)
6. Use Dark Archon to steal a Probe, SCV, or Drone from your opponent to be able to build up to 200 more units.
7. Dropping of any unit with a Shuttle or an Arbiter (Reavers and Archon drops work well) 7. Probe rush (This one will almost never work but, is worth a try)

Some other helpful hints are:
1. Try not to take your opponents base by force (unless you can) otherwise, you will lose several costly units.
2. Try not to attack throug their chokepoint try and get around it some way.
3. If you are rushing and they have units in Bunkers etc., run right by them and take out as many Gatherers as possible.
4. If rushing, take your size of the map into consideration. Longer it take you to get there, longer they have to build.
5. If you are getting beat badly save as many units as possible and retreat to your WELL protected base.
6. Don't trap yourself inside your base, leave room for your units to get out of your base.
6. Learn to use hot keys, you will learn to love them!!

The Zerg are extremely weak in a long game (unless in the hands of an expert player) but are very strong in the early game. You must be prepared for a rush. Try and get a Zealot out as quickly as possible. One zealot can take care of 3-6 of those cheap and easy to build Zerglings. IF you get past the rush stage you have the advantage. Protoss pack more punch unit for unit than the Zerg. High Templar PSI Storm is a very useful tactic vs. Mutas and other Zerg units, as they usually attack very close to each other. If you are building Carriers, BEWARE, that a few cheap Scourge can take out a Carrier in a heartbeat. In Brood War, build a few Scouts and kill their Overlords that wander to far. A Reavers Scarab can take out quite a few zerg units because, they atack so close together. Remember Overlords can see cloaked units. One more thing, YOU HAVE THE ADVANTAGE!!

The Terran are extremely good defense masters. Be sure to upgrade your Zealots speed to chase down Tanks and Goliaths. Also be prepared for a Marine rush. You must have several Observers to patrol areas. DO NOT try and go through there choke- point unless you believe you have enough units to do so. Try and go around them. Try using the Archon and Zealot or Dark Templar rush strategies, they seem to work well vs. Terran. Be wary of Science Vessels as those can take out your entire shield life. Dropping is the best thing if you can get through. If opponent is building only Bunkers for defense and no tanks, get some Reavers and attack from afar. This is usually a long game, so be prepared!!

This game is when the best man, actually wins. You will just have to simply build quicker, be smarter, and simply overwhelm you opponent. Good luck, and have fun!!
