I had only gotten through the Terran campaign in broodwar so when I picked up SC2, it was the only race that I already knew the mechanics for. I've thought about switching to zerg, but I've found out that I fit best with the terran mindset - you can't lift up your hatchery or unit-producing buildings 
edit: I just placed in ladder about ten games ago, so I only have about 20 points. Gold tho.
|
Random; I'm still trying them out.
Plat ~200points
|
I play Terran because Alien is one of my favorite movies and Halo is still one of my favorite games.
Bronze. Too lazy to check my points.

I'm a huge Stargate fan and the Protoss are very similar to the Goa'uld in many ways so I just naturally felt an attraction to the race.
Master, 2.8k +
|
I was Protoss in BW and in the beta. Zerg was the only race I enjoyed playing macro games with though, and I tend to only work towards macro games when playing, so I picked Zerg.
Ironically, Zerg is the only race I never get macro games with...
1.6k-1.7k Diamond.

Haha dude i had the same reason except i was 17 :l

I played both T and Z in BW. I didn't like playing as P.
In SC2, I still don't like P.
I am starting to resent TvP and TvZ because of how much I have to rely on harass and all-in pushes to win..... I want to play a macro game.....
But I hate ZvZ because of how fucked up the matchup is thanks to banelings.....
So, I haven't settled on a race yet.....
2k-ish Diamond, with 800-ish pts bonus pool, and facing 25% masters players at the moment, so I'm pretty sure I'll move up soon.....
|
Played toss for almost 9 years on bw, just carried it over ^^ Wanted to try and learn T but I never really put any effort into it so I just stuck with my Protoss ^^
|
Because of the Maestro, and then it carried over to SC2.
|
Why not play them all? Random might take a bit more effort to learn but is much more fun imo.
|
A Korean guy told me to play Terran for BW... then it just transitioned over in SC2.
Though I prefer random in SC2... more fun! ^_^
Haven't really been playing SC2 seriously yet because I'm still waiting for my desktop to come in the mail. (Laptop can't handle SC2 even on low) So I'm just silver league right now but that's from playing on like 0-5 FPS on a horrible laptop. lolz
On BW: my max was D+ currently just D though this season. *sad face*
|
Unless you are a high level competitive player I don't see why you would settle on a race. I play mostly T and Z because I have a lot of friends who only play P.
|
I was Z in BW but I dunno for some reason T just appealed to me more. It just felt T was an easier transition to sc2.
|
when i started BW, my three friends that played all happened to be each of the 3 races. I picked Protoss, just because i figured that friend could best teach me how to play. I liked terran the best, and still do because of all of the strategies it has, but never was able to break away from protoss for enough time to get better at terran. Same thing happened in SC2. By default, i picked protoss, but tanks are my favorite unit, and so i tried again for Terran, but couldn't bring myself to leave Protoss.
|
I got SC2 way later than all of my friends. So they had already chosen their races. For teamgames they needed a terran and thus, it was settled.
|
In BW I was comfortable playing P but somehow I didn't like how the race felt to me in SC2 and I got along with the T mechanics ( by the way I was a total noob in BW and I am still a noob SC2 low plat high gold)
