How to watch starcraft 2 replays without beta access

       How to watch Starcraft 2 Replays without beta access 

Updated for Beta Patch 8 (April 9th)

     So you weren't picked for the Starcraft 2 Beta but can't wait any longer ?

        Here's a guide on how to watch Starcraft 2 Beta replays. Some arguee that it is illegal, some say that it's tolerated.

My opinion:   It does no harm whatsoever to Blizzard if people can watch replays, all the opposite, it builds up more hype for Starcraft 2 and allows people to have something to watch while they can't play the game. I'm going to describe two methods to watch SC2 replays without beta access:

• The 1st method is a lot easier but requires you to download a program and to run an .exe file. I've virus tested it and used it for weeks, it's clean. But if you don't trust it, use the other method.
  
  
• The 2nd method requires a bit of fiddling around with the Starcraft 2 folders, but it's easy enough if you follow my instructions carefully.
   

I - Method #1  

A - Download the following 2 files:

Starcraft 2 protoss strategy: best counters vs zerg units

Starcraft 2 Terran's Best Counters vs Zerg Units

Introduction

          In Starcraft 2, there is a "best counter" for every unit. This is in my opinion even more true for Protoss. Unit choices are even more crucial for them, for one simple reason: every protoss unit is relatively expensive, so you better produce the right units at the right time ;)

          This is also why I love protoss, it's my favorite race.

          In this guide I will give detailed information for Protoss players to counter every Starcraft 2 Zerg units.

Starcraft 2 Terran's Best Counters vs Zerg Units

Introduction

In Starcraft 2, there is a "best counter" for every unit.

In this guide I will give detailed information for Terran players to counter every Starcraft 2 Zerg units.

Please keep in mind that this is a general terran unit strategy guide, it is based on pure unit statistics. So you must adapt depending on the situation in-game. For example, if I say that Vikings are the best unit counter against Mutalisks, don't go for Vikings if you haven't even started building a Starport as your opponent shows up with 6 mutalisks, you won't have time for that, produce marines and/or missile turrets instead and then build a starport if you manage to hold off the first mutalisk batch.

Starcraft 2 Terran's Best Counters vs Terran Units

Introduction

In Starcraft 2, there is a "best counter" for every unit.

In this guide I will give detailed information for Terran players to counter every Starcraft 2 Terran units.

Everyone hates mirror matches, you feel like no matter what you do, your opponent can do the same, what's the point? This is the wrong way of thinking. Yes, you're playing against the same race, but you still have the choice of units. And just like with the other races, there is a best terran unit counter for every terran unit.
