I thought it was just me. In the previous several seasons I've been playing mostly protoss with some terrans sprinkled in there and almost no zergs. This season I've been playing almost as many zergs as protoss, and almost no terrans (I think a lot of terrans dodge TvT)

I actually find it kinda surprising that people would just switch races based on how well the pros are doing

I don't buy the whole "zerg map pool" thing. Tau Cross and Othello have been around for a while

Most game on iCCup are ZvT for me, pretty annoying for someone trying to practice his ZvP

Well must be some kind of trend as usually. When Protoss was owning at starleagues I only played zvp (which i like) now its zvz it seems.

1) Players who pick race and stick to it for long time
2) Players pick race but changes according to korean pro race strenghts

maybe you should petition for mutalisk to be removed from the game. i bet if that happened there would be a noticeable change in the frequencies you encountered zerg.

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

I wish I could face your "problem", only facing zergs. By far the most fun (and easy) matchup to play on all races imo I understand the prob though if you only want to play zerg in all mu's sinve zvz is kinda meh.

Your situation was probably just randomness, but I wonder if I could finally make games with "Z only" in name.

I've played 76 games in this season and of those games it has been 28 vz, 28 vp, 18 vt. Numbers would be a bit more to favour p/t because sometimes I refuse to play p/t if there's been too many of them in a row. So there definately isn't too many zergs out there, unfortunately

Ive been zerg since I started playing again. I was probably better at protoss when I first came back because they're a lot easier to remember how to play. Didn't even try to play more than a few games with them though. I played back in the days when most players played all 3 races, but were good with like only 2 or so.

So I had the option to try something almost entirely new 'terran', go with the race I most enjoyed playing 'zerg', or do what would come back easier to me and play protoss. I chose zerg, I've just always liked the race, even when boxer was slaying kids with his ridiculous micro I was a fan of NC Yellow and the )iS(City/Side guys who put out some amazing replays.

The race has always been dynamic and the ability to adapt and switch it up at any point in time just allows for more of a creative game play. Protoss seems so boring, and Terran would have been my next choice if I had more time to get familiar with the race in my days off.

So yeah, I just like the race, but it's definitely possible others are seeing the dominance of the top zergs and are bored of their own race and just want to try something new. Zergs flexible, so much fun to play with

I've noticed a LOT of Zerg (and a bunch of Protosses that play Zerg against Protoss) which pleases me to no end, because PvZ is currently my favorite matchup. PvP PvZ ZvZ ftw.
My strategy is to fork people.

Hm, I've actually had a pretty nice split across the 3 races which is nice.

I've noticed a fair number of zergs, but still a good percentage of protoss.

Out of every 5 games for me, 2 are toss, 2 are zerg, and 1 is terran.

Sadly, TvT is my best MU so far this season. Weird...

I have played Protoss the least this season and a ton of zergs. Basically everyone is doing some kind of ling cheese. Lost to it x4 today. So now I'm playing extra defensivly early game because I have yet to loose a PvZ in mid - late game.

I like PvZ so it's fine, but PvP is my favorite MU so I want more of it!

most of the time when they see you are terran, they choose a different race.
