I don't know if it is a common knowledge (i discover it today)
Sometimes it happens (at least to me) to miss opponent race.
If it happens alliance menu will give you the answer

I actually make that mistake all the time.... I notice the icon and start examining the map and then when the game starts I didn't notice the race hahaha.

Good suggestion for me hehe.

Haha thanks, I never bothered to explore the UI properly and I frequently forget to pay attention during the loading screen.
No I'm never serious.

Happens to me all the time (like every 3 game or so) I always ask what race the opponent is and to this day not a single person has lied. ^^

Yeah, says Random if your opponent randomed, you still have to guess what cheese is coming your way

Yeah, I noticed it after 1.1 and kept wanting to add it to the undocumented features thread, but I just kept forgetting.

It's something you notice easily if you play a lot of team games where you give control to your partners.

Edit: @heyoka: I never noticed it before the patch. I just noticed when going to that menu that it seemed to have more things after 1.1.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

actually just discovered this yesterday also, when in a FFA.. I decided to see if someone left the game already, and was surprised to see it said the races there.

This happens to me sometimes on loading screen. I will be talking to a friend or something (not online, he's actually there with me) and then the game starts and im like, crap, what was his race, and then i have to send a scouting drone at like 9 or 10
