Starcraft- Chart of Strategy Difficulties and Race Statistics

This section if for you do either let you decide on which race you want to master, or make you feel more comfortable about the race you choose to master. It contains valuable information on every race. 

Difficulty: 1-3 = Newbie
Difficulty: 4-5 = Intermediate
Difficulty: 6-8 = Experienced
Difficulty: 9-10 = Expert

Note: This does not mean that 1-3 are newbie tactics, 4-5 are intermediate tactics and etc. It means that if the difficulty is 1-3, a newbie can do this successfully, and 4-5 an intermediate can pull this off successfully. Surely, Mass Dragoons is not a newbie tactic, it is used by many experienced players, but a newbie can pull off the Mass Dragoons tactic.
