Starcraft Rules (Diablo's So-So): Where are all the fans?

I'm new here, so I'm still getting to know this. (However, I am a user of the forum bolt.com.) Where are all the Starcraft threads/forums? I've been looking around and stuff, and haven't found a single thing. So, either I'm starting a brand new thread dedicated to Starcraft or I'm an idiot. Can a guy get any help around here?!

By the way...

By the way, I'm a fan of Blizzard and such, though I think Starcraft will always be the best. Just for the record, I'm a Protoss user. En Taro Adun.

Back...

In my opinion, the best units for each of the races are (not in any order):

Protoss = High Templars, Carriers, and Dragoons (maybe Reavers)
Terran = Seige Tanks, Battlecruisers, Ghosts (with Nukes)
Zerg = Hydralisks, Guardians, Defilers (maybe Lurkers)

The thing with most players is that they don't fully use the capabilities of each unit. I've barely ever seen any defilers in game, and they have the ability to do 300 damage to all buildings and units! How often do you see a science detector use EMP shockwaves on Protoss? How often do you see a dark archon use maelstrom on a whole grip of Hydras? None, that's when.

True...

Yeah, that is true. I was playing online once and my allies pack of 24 zerglings, fully upgraded, managed to destroy two bases (though they were rookie-like) with photon cannons and stuff everywhere. The cool thing is though is that he sent his overlords with defilers and plagued everything, so it was a pretty easy job.

ummm...

Zerg does a very high damage, but very weak in defences.

Terran is a middle class, moderate damages and very satifying defences.

Protoss, well what I know of, they are extremely expensive to build. They can produce powerful energy in damage and defences.

I use Protoss coz they look cool I also like the other 2 races as well. Siege tanks are very durable. Just drop your tanks behind enemies crystal source. I'm sure they can't feed on anything at all

I happen to be a big user of the Defiler. Dark Swarm + Plague + cracklings are awesome against stupid newbs who bunk themselves in! I also mass out on sci vessels against 'toss.

As for 'toss, you can't beat the High Temp's psi storm.
