The Daily Hitlist: Locking up the Marauders

How to Counter Marauders

Marauders are a very versatile and strong terran unit. They can be deadly in early and late game and it be best they be dealt the iron fist. They are especially useful because of them amount of upgrades you can give them (stim concussive shells and attack and armour.) Their armoured qualities allow these metal pumping bastards to soak up damage like a sponge, but how do we get around this seemingly impossible mix.

Unit Explanations

Dark Templars

Not only do dark templars have a keen sense of style, but they also have a copious amount of damage behind their blades. These templars are not as nice as the high templars. When it comes down to it, there just plain nasty. When you see this wave of nothingness enter you base, your first reaction will be to moan about the fact that they are there; you will probably just watch hopelessly as they destroy your base if you did not plan for them.

These blue meanies have an inane habit of just totally destroying anything they touch. This leads me to believe that they are actually a lot more useful than one might first think.

Unit Explanations

The Queen

Queens are a staple Zerg unit; these units are a must have for any Zerg player. However, are you using them enough? One would most likely think yes, but I would disagree. 

Unit Explanations

High Templars

High Templars are the geniuses of the Protoss race. Not only have they learnt to fly, they can devastate you with their feedback–Thank Auir they aren't reading this. In all seriousness HT's are a versatile support unit. The longer a game plays out the need for HT's increases. This is because of their high damage attack and their ability to remove other units from using energy.

The HT's abilities are an all inclusive package to winning the game, it's not good enough to merely overlook this unit; it needs warping in!  Just two or three of these in your army could save you the game when the time comes; this is due to its abilities it brings to your army. When 'psionic storm' is pulled off correctly, it deals massive damage to any lump of units caught within it.

How to Counter Infestors: Protoss

Infestors can be a huge pain to deal with. Not only can they devastate your units they can also ruin your day. As in life an outbreak of fungal growth can really ruin your day. But how do we counter this? We could buy anti septic cream, or even better, High Templars.
