Yes if 3 "expert" players are all attacking one person, that person should 
not last very long!

A good practice strategy is to pratice beating the computer building 
absolutely no static defense at all (including barracks blockade)  This will 
force you to mass produce units and attack

Try 1 on 1 with LT and then 2 on 1 with LT.  When you can beat 2 computers 
on LT with no static defense then you will begin to have an idea of how to 
produce units and use units to attack and defend, as opposed to buildings.

When Blizzard made the AI's for SC - they did an extremely shitty job of 
teaching the computers how to siege / retreat - as such many people playing 
against the computers found out they could easily win by building static 
defense and then allowing the computer to commit mass suicide on it. 
(Actually I do not believe there is any in battle retreat feature - but I 
can't remember if units ever give up while chasing someone.)
