Saracen did a really great summary of SC2 strat threads in the SC2 Beta weekly round-up:

As usual, our Strategy Forum's been churning out post after post of stimulating Starcraft discussion, and some exemplary threads have come out of it. If you're a bit out of the loop, some amazing ways to use and abuse the Infestor and Void Ray have been discovered. And, once again, Plexa's firing up another insightful discussion, this time about muta/ling in ZvP. Not only is this a great pit-stop for those of you looking for some variation in the matchup, but it shows you how to make a quality Strategy Forum OP as well (it would be amazing if we could template this). Finally, be on the lookout for this mechanics compliation thread by FC.Strike that's bound to be an invaluable resource in the future.

It feels kind of stupid to make a strat posting in the Starcraft section because SCII is coming out so soon. Check out this post about queens. The queen was so close to making it to meta-game center stage.
OneOther makes a cool post about PvP. Check it out here.

Reason: A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.
