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
Poll: Protoss or Zerg?Protoss (18) 47% Terran (NO!) (14) 37% Zerg (6) 16% 38 total votes Your vote: Protoss or Zerg? (Vote): Protoss
(Vote): Zerg
(Vote): Terran (NO!)
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

Pros:
easiest to learn at lower levels
swarm experience will come in handy for PvZ timings and knowing what to expect
Cons:
How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
TL;DR:
no reason you can't play both. Just go with what you enjoy, or what you're in the mood for.

Yeah, ZvP was defiantly my best matchup. I may become Bisu with the ZvP experience (hiss!~)

Well let's see first you say protoss is easier to pick up yes i agree with you but making koreans rage with 1a2a3a is not really a good idea because it usually is the opposite koreans will make you rage when they 1a2a3a4a5a to victory keep that in mind and fun spells like storm if you have the apm to storm and micro your units . Nonetheless if you decided to play protoss we can't stop you over all . Your opinion that zerg is a macro type of race is not true see in order for zerg to macro it has to micro keeping the enemy at bay taking base than out flanking the enemies troop . I don't see anything sit back and relax macro 1a2a3a to victory when in terms of playing zerg ;D.
I do realized that you are more favored towards protoss because of the pro and not in favour with zerg because you don't have any heroes to say so but if you realized that each of the race in broodwar has it's own specialty and traits protoss has easier macro ability supply warps it selfs .
Zerg has really good magic plague and dark swarm and lurkers . Terran has siege tank , vultures and marine and medic . Over all they are quite special in a sense how ever you should give terran a try ;D why not .

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

I rather you stick to playing zerg so we don't get another protoss that does 12 nex. Just saying
What is it about snow that you really like? He's my favourite player too and he's always seemed really aggressive and his play is centred around out multitasking his opponents with drops everywhere (e.g. those games vs Jaedong in the last MSL).
Edit. oh you are aidsmeister? -_-.... no love, stick to zerg :p
