    We saw some battles already. Some even got to play at Blizzcon. Most people have a preffered race already. Time for a big, fat topic about strategy.

    How will YOU be playing Starcraft 2?

    I'll start.

    Obviously, my first choice is the Swarm. Zerg has always been my favourite race to play. Those Protoss trinkets I have are there 'cause they simply look great.

    Since I'm still not that awesome in Starcraft, my strategy will be simple. I learned to master the 6-pool rush, I think that combined with the Queen spawning some extra Larvea, that'll still work. Death within minutes for my enemies, buhahahaha!

    If that doesn't work, my choice would be Lurkers and Corruptors to defend, then rush in with Zerglings. While those are targeted, Overlord Creep drop, Nydus Worm, Banelings in their base.

    What do you guys think? Good? Bad? Horrible? And what about your tactics? Go go go! ;)

    I preferred to play Random in SC1, all 3 races balanced each other in a remarkable way. Although I saw P as having the nicest units design.

    Now, as things are in SC2, I think playing T is going to be quite easy: no limits on thors, BCs are so powerful.
    And in early game, nothing seems to break through Marines+Marauders.

    At late game, if you have Thors and siege tanks or banshee I dont think any race can stand against.
    And the Ravens have so many powerful abilities, it even makes P look like jerks with their special powers.
    Hunter seeker missiles, when launched, cannot be avoided by slower and more massive units. Turrets seem to be a replacement of marines.

    Even the P with the Mothership wont be able to stand against HSM.

    Yup, I think a majority of players will play T because of their new "raw power" (overpowered, but this is just my opinion) in SC2.

    I'd like all races to be rebalanced further (either toning down T or boosting P & Z): I'd really prefer to play random. It's so much better and more fun.

    Ill be doing P or random (Mostly P though)

    My main idea is to do early probe harssment and zealot harasment, then to use blink and stalkers are more distractions and if the game is still going tech to HT's or Dt's (depending on if they have detection) and or tech to colsi's and upgrade beam.

    another Idea I wanted to try is warp rays + dt's Especially vs zerg.

    I have many starts and build orders in mind but I won't share all of them and of course if something doesn't work well Ill change it..

    Right now Im just thinking use of zealots and stalkers for early game and use them for harsment as much as possible if enemy if able to defend it, using the time to go Dt's Ht's colsi, warp rays or some combination of many units.

    Maybe mix in the disruptor for forcefield here and there..

    Warp Rays versus a Zerg enemy? For the buildings, or what? Maybe versus Ultralisks and Nydus Worms, but I can't think of other units where it would help. :s

    Carriers would be my choice when playing against a Zerg opponent. Not more then 2 Carriers, though.

    I was thinking vs the overseers, similar to what the corsairs did.
    (or maybe it was the pheonixs I was thinking about)

    don't know how well it will work..

    It was between Terran and Protoss. I chose toss just because it is the main race I play at the moment, anyway.
