that's weird-- i feel like protoss is wayyyyy easier than terran. for all of you protoss players who haven't tried terran yet-- try terran. then when you get roflstomped by a whole bunch of different things, you'll realize that terran has a lot more on the mind than protoss in that mu.

My one and only serious game as Protoss - I went for 2 gate zealots into 2 base speedlots (with +1) with +1 attack speed Scouts as support. And I smoked a Z player. That's right - Scouts. With speed. And +1 attack.

We had 2 rematches, ZvZ. I got smoked both times..... And they weren't because of BO fuckups (we had identical BOs in one game). And my main is Z.....

Please, you may like to think "ooh, my cannon was one second late, and my base is dead by mutalisks", however, think about Z - "one second late, and I've lost half of my drones to that vulture that slipped by while my sunken was finishing"..... It's the same for every race.

But, from my experience, Protoss seems easier..... I didn't know any of the shortcuts when I started the game (short of some obvious ones like "P" for Pylon or Probe, "Z" for Zealot, "C" for Cannon, etc).

The macro seemed much easier than Z macro, and the units can withstand quite a beating. Definitely very forgiving in that respect.

Maybe you just suck at ZvZ and the other guy fucking sucked at ZvP.

Terran players like to pretend it is... something about being dicked by space vikings.
My strategy is to fork people.

God I don't see how anyone can find Terran easier to play than anything...


When I first switched from Terran to Zerg... I felt like I was a god at the game.


That's weird, when I played Zerg I went 0-8 before I switched back. I will never complain about Terran again

And try 12 nexus, I played 10 games PvT and lost only 2 of them... to BBS

According to ICCUP - the last 2 seasons, my ZvZ has been my best matchup.....

Protoss is obviously the manly race with their big ass units that can just run in and beat the shit out of you if you don't do something special to negate it (walls, mines, seige mode, templar sniping, lurkers, etc.).
