[SC2B] Why so zerg?

Okay over the last two days I've been playing around 60-70% ZvZ games up from roughly even against all 3. 10 in a row and counting in the Ladder today and what I want to know is WHY? Many of these zerg players when I add them and check their profile show Terran as the race with the most wins. Did someone just suddenly decide that Zerg is the new 1a2a3a race? The worst part of this is that most of them are pretty terrible I mean they 10 pool zergling rush or creep crawler rush and when I go to counterattack with roaches they have NOTHING. They frequently lose their queen multiple times then waste my time by refusing to GG and massing creep crawlers so it takes a good 10 minutes longer to kill them.

I mean you guys have relatively high ELO most of them I've noticed are actually high rank Gold players so they shouldn't be that bad but seriously go back to Terran.

Why so zerg? Because the only way you can go into a game without being at a disadvantage against a zerg player of your skill level (or even somewhat less) is by being zerg yourself.
Otherwise you're hoping (as terran) that you can somehow hold out till HSM, or (as protoss) that you can end the game before muta

Zerg is the Protoss of SC2. - Make a lot of units, attack move and stuff.
Protoss is the Terran of SC2. - Proper spellcasting is essential and will make or break a game.
Terran is the Zerg of SC2. - Make a lot of units, cast a few support spells.

i dont think theres enough time to decide who is the who in starcraft 2 at all.

by not player wise by any means zerg is the most popular conventional race in starcraft. its like the staple race almost. all the wow noobs and wc3 players are like oh hey zerg is coolest.

I don't think a zerg user can complain about there being too many zerg uses. You are clearly part of your own problem.

I think our definition of a spell/"castable ability" is getting pretty loose here. Most zerg units can burrow. So for zerg I think we just have ultras/guardians/devourers for no castable abilities. But getting a bit off track here, my bad.

actually, I'd say it's terran. They have topped the ladders with the most spots out of all the other races right now.

Zerg is not the easiest at all. It seems to require the most apm of all the races imo. I regularly have 50-100 more apm than other top Ps or Ts and I can still lose just as much as I win.
Early - Mid game zerg is really vulnerable and it's very difficult to get any recon done until lair.

Also, just to add to the OP. Most of my games in SC2 have been ZvZ since I began the beta. Next most would be Terrans, and lastly Protoss.
Lately (today) though, It seems I rarely play any zergs and I'm playing 55% T and 40% P. Up until then it was like 50% Z 35% T 15% P.

It's a shame too because I've gotten pretty good in ZvZ and T's have gotten really good vs Z (TvZ used to be my best mu).
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

You mean the race that probably has the hardest (PvZ) matchup of all the races in SC1?

If it wasn't for PvT, protoss would suck in SC1.
