List of basic unit composition/strategies for races

This is a barebones list of strategies for certain racial matchups. I won't really be fleshing them out right now, but I want to store them in a single spot anyway for reference and remind me to test/post them out in more detail later.

(race who the strat is for) vs. (opponent's race)

Tv?

TvP
-double rax marauders

TvT
-marine/hellion harass -> fast thor + banshees + marauders (TLO on metalopolis)
-marine/siege tank/viking (CauthonLuck on metalopolis)

TvZ
-barracks, rax + reactor, marines, factory, factory gets rax reactor, hellions, rax builds tech lab, marauders + hellions, expand?, swaps with factory (so you now have rax + reactor and factory + techlab), armory, thors (TLO on metalopolis)

Pv?
-3 gate

PvP
-double gateway stalkers to blink to 4 warp gates to dark templar
-2 gate to dark templar (tasteless)
-2 gate to robo to immortals with warp gates (WhiteRa on Metalopolis, LT)

PvT
-one gate to fast void ray to mass warp gates (white ra) to charge zealots to high & dark templar
-2? gate with phoenixes (vs. marauders, siege tanks)

PvZ
-2 gate to zealot harass to...
  • -forge/cannon -> expand -> mass warp gates
  • -to double gas -> mass stalkers -> expand (very effective vs. mass roaches)
  • -to blink stalkers + dark templar

Zv?
-14 pool, 16 hatch, speedlings -> hydras -> roaches

ZvP
-(against 2 gate): pool, gas, roaches for defense, expand, drone pump
-10 pop of all drones, spawning pool, double extractor trick, double drone, cancel extractors, overlord, queen, roaches

ZvT
-one base speedlings to mutas
-lings into roaches into mutas into banelings into ultras or brood lords
-lings into mutas into banelings into hydras
-roaches to expand to roach/hydra

ZvZ
-baneling bust
