Starcraft Terran Strategy – 1/1/1 Opener Build
A problem that many players run into when deploying their Starcraft 2 build is running into a hard counter. You may be pushing out Marines and Marauders when you suddenly run into a sea of Psionic Storms. This Terran build is meant to counter that pigeon-holing. This build makes it so you have access to nearly every unit available in the early game. The exception being the third tier units such as Terran Thors and Battlecruisers. Within the opener, you’ll have a Barracks, a Factory, and a Starport. A few thing to note about this build. The versatility does come at a cost. You lose a bit a defense versus early rushes. You’ll be spending more resources establishing the buildings and less on an early army. This makes scouting key. Identify early rushes and move away from this build if necessary.
Starcraft Terran Strategy – Beating Ultralisks
The SC2 Zerg are the masters of creating the ultimate beast.  The Zerg Ultralisk is no exception.  It is the biggest, baddest melee unit that can be produce in Starcraft 2.  Its big, fast and can crush anything it gets close enough to hit.  The other races have learned not to try to fight this beast toe-to-toe.  Instead, they utilize their big guns to take it out from a distance. Now, let’s take a look at some of the Starcraft 2 strategy countermeasures for when your SC2 Zerg opponent opts to bring in the Ultralisk.  Also, how you can avoid taking the devastating damage it can deal out against your units.  The key is making sure you can hit it without it getting close enough to hit you.  And you can do it with the right SC2 Terran units.
Starcraft Terran Strategy – Beating Ghosts
They are the elite of covert ops within the Confederacy.  The Starcraft 2 Ghost is a master of stealth and quick kills.  Ever since the original Starcraft, they’ve been a feared unit.  Able to cloak and move about freely.  If that wasn’t bad enough, they command the single most devastating attack in Starcraft 2.  The Tactical Nuke. Sure, the nuke gives you quite a while to either kill the Ghost or move your units, but if you’re caught unprepared, you’ll be unable to stop a cloaked Ghost from laying waste to all of your building.  Now, let’s take a look at how you can defend against this silent killer.  To make sure the nuke never find their targets.
Starcraft Terran Strategy – Beating Banshees
These units are a quick air-to-ground attack vehicle.  The Banshee are the Starcraft 2 Terran answer to all things that can’t fly.  In addition to being able to deal a lot of damage to anything on the ground, they are also capable of cloaking.  The researched Cloaking Field enables the Banshee to provide unbeatable harass against opponents that haven’t prepared for them. The first time you’ll see a Banshee in a game is when they go after your mineral line for some early harass.  This may signal a shift to an Air build or may just be a means of providing harass to limit your army size against a ground force.  This is dependant on how many Starports the player produces.  In cases where the game continues for quite a while after Banshee harass, it is likely that the player will produce Battlecruisers from those same Starports.
Starcraft Terran Strategy – Beating Mutalisks
These are by far the most common of the Zerg aerial units.  When they are finally produced, Zerg Mutalisks are most likely to be massed over and over.  They move fast, hit air and ground, and are easy to produce.  En masse, they can spell trouble for most units. The Terran do have a few tools that can hit Mutalisks.  The issue becomes that the Zerg players normally masses this unit and will take a bit of time to get them all down.  That means more losses for you while you take them out.  However, Terran have probably the most perfect weapon when it comes to dealing with them.
Starcraft Terran Strategy – Beating Dark Templar
If you’ve ever faced a Protoss player into the mid to late game, you may had a time where your harvesting SCVs are suddenly exploding.  Despite the urge to blame poor design standards at the command center, they may actually be falling victim to Dark Templar.  These units are the Protoss nearest comparable unit to the Ghost.  While lacking the ability to call a nuclear strike, they will do just as well in wrecking havoc with your economy. The Dark Templar is a small 3rd tier melee unit deployed via Gateways (or Warpgates).  In addition to a devastating melee attack, they’re equipped with a permanent cloak.  In their non-upgraded form, they are capable of killing a harvester of any race in a single hit.  The downside to this high-end damage is lower health and shielding.  This makes the unit very fragile when their cloak is nullified.
