Hey, Everybody!

I've been playing more and more BW (yaay!) recently, and I've been playing zerg, because it strikes me as the most agressive macro centric race. But as it seems; all my favorite players are protoss and their play makes my heart go <3 more. Whenever I watch a stream, I don't really like the zerg ones as much as the toss ones, aswell, and I just tend to think it's more exciting. In fact, writing this makes me think "Yeah, I totally should do it!" more than when I started, and I feel like I can write less about what I was going to write because of all the proof and reasoning coming into my head, I guess. I'm a huge Snow fan, if that says anything about my playstyle (and as hes extremely stylistic, it seems extremely toss favoring) And I think the more I think about it it suits me.

Anyways, These are just my thoughts, and just even after writing this, it hits me, go with toss! However, I'll briefly go on about the pros of why I played Protoss, then I'll play one game on fish! (as toss with a poll and see what you think, I think you all think I'm more protossy :3 (Not to mention its the most easy and i'll never be good, so i'm already at a headstart )

So, the reason I picked up zerg was because I felt it was the most macroey, yet manageable and aggressive race, which I thought sounded like my playstyle, and I thought these were the players that I became fans of. But I tend to become fans of protoss players when I watch them, and they don't suit that description.

Anyways, My left fingers starting to hurt, so I'm gonna take this blog to a close and I'll see what you guys think (although writing this thread actually help made my mind up, and favour the other way... to toss!)

TL;DR

Pros-toss (pun :3)

My favorite players play toss
I seem more attracted to the playstyle
Snow
Making koreans rage at the 1a2a3a!
Easier to pick up (no rage, plz -_-)
Fun Spells! stormuuuuuu

Cons:
Haven't played before
rage (as a con this time )
Pointless experience as zerg, I guess.
no swarm

Zerg Pros:
Macro style, which I'm good at
Easy to be aggressive while expanding, which I love
so many units.

Cons:
Hard to manage and read the opponent.
Lots of zerg snipers/specialists (not balance whine, i hope this doesnt imply)
I can't think of any others....

even shorter TL;DR




P.S: This is not supposed to be a "hurr durr decide for me thread", I've made my mind up almost completely. More of a fun update/discussion, I guess :D

I know, protoss just feels the most like my play, however.
