Zerg Infestor Guide
If used right the infestor can be the Zerg's most powerful unit. Infestors are the Zerg's perfect weapon for taking down big unit such as the thor or the colossus but they are also very effective at destroying groups of small units such as marines or zealots.
The infestor has two abilities that I want to focus on. The first is the neural parasite ability, which allows you to take control of an opponent's unit for a few seconds. This ability will completely annihilate a group of thors or tanks if you are playing against Terran and colossus and immortals if you are playing against Protoss. The second ability is fungal growth and it is awesome against groups of small units, it will do 36 damage to an area of units, which will take a marine's health down to 4 with just one fungal growth. I recommend using speed upgraded zerglings and hydralisks in case of an air attack.

Guide For Mastering the Zerg's Baneling
Banelings are a must for a Zerg player, if you aren't using banelings then you are missing out on a major part of the Zerg attack. They are excellent for taking down groups of marines and marauders if you playing against Terran. If you playing against Protoss they are great against zealots. Banelings are also perfect for destroying builds or breaking through defensive walls like the supply depots the Terran players love to block off their base with. When going with an early baneling attack I always use zerglings with the speed upgrade from the spawning pool, also if you can, upgrade the baneling's speed as well. Of course this same type of attack can be used against Protoss players as well just go for the drones with your banelings while your zerglings keep the zealots and stalkers busy. You can also choose to just send your banelings after their army as well if for some reason you can't get to the workers.



Terran Micro Guide
OK so one of the big things that helped me improve my game was learning to micro efficiently. It gave me a huge advantage in battles over opponents who hadn't quite figured out how to command their units correctly. So I've written down a few things about microing that I've learned over the past couple months of playing beta. Note: I pretty much exclusively play Terran so this is kinda geared for them more so.
Alright so for starters I always hot key my Command Center(s). I usally set my Command Center at Hot Key (4). This way I can leave keys 1,2, and 3 for specific unit groups. Hot Key (5) I use for my Barracks. This leaves me with 8,9. When I play Protoss I love to have a specific hot key just for my ghosts since their emp is so valuable against the protoss shields. It's important to memorize every single hot key for each units function.

Protoss Vs Zerg Basic Strategy
Playing against a good Zerg player can be challenging but with the right units a Protoss player can dominate. This guide will show you how to beat a Zerg player 1v1 by using the right unit counters and scouting techniques.
Of course there is one other major option that a Zerg player can use and that is building infestors. A good Zerg player with infestors can be a big problem for us so keep an eye out for these and if you see them coming the smartest thing to do is build some air units such as void rays or phoenix to handle the infestors from the air. If you follow this guide and learn the strenghts and weaknesses of your units then beating even a very good Zerg player can be a breeze.
