The late game favours the player that has managed the early and middle game the most efficiently. The Protoss and Zerg both have a slight lull between their initial tier of units and their advanced units. The Terrans arguably have the strongest middle game since their buildings are mobile and their units are not prohibitively expensive. The middle game focuses on resource management and expansion. Finally, the Terrans gain the upper hand, with the quickest access to middle-end units such as Siege tanks and Vultures. The Zerg units can be built the most quickly, causing Zerg players to often rush an opponent in a move known as the " Zergling rush." After the first few minutes of gameplay, the Protoss gain the advantage with their powerful Zealot units which can devastate buildings and basic units. The early game forces players to focus on setting up a base, laying out a defensive network, building units quickly, and securing reserves of minerals and Vespene gas.

Of course, professional players and online veterans have developed advanced strategies after many years of practice, so the game continues to evolve and change. Only by truly out thinking one's opponent will one emerge victorious.
Each unit for each race has a legitimate counter, and there is no strategy that is guaranteed to make a player victorious time after time. The reason that StarCraft is still played over 10 years later is because of its extraordinary unit balance. Minerals are used to buy units and are used heavily throughout the game, while Vespene gas is often used for the research of more advanced units in the later stages of a match. Resource management is vital to success, however players are only given two resources to manage: minerals and Vespene gas. Although micromanagement is crucial to defeating advanced players, it is not as central to the game play as in games such as the Dawn of War series. Unlike many other RTS games, StarCraft places a very heavy focus on massing large armies of units.
