I think I originally started out as Zerg, then I went on hiatus for a while. BoxeR revitalized my interest in BW, so I went Terran for a while. Then I gave Protoss a try, and now I play Random

Wellllllllllll i'm not gonna tell you what you should play, but I'll tell you how I came to play my race

I started as Protoss like everyone else, but about three months into playing I switched to zerg for some reason and I played Zerg for five years. Five fucking years.

Then, Sea[Shield] became my favourite player. It took a while, but his ridiculously cool play made me make the switch to Terran. I've been terran since the end of June 2007 and I've never had more fun playing StarCraft. My APM jumped to ~220 from ~130 out of pure necessity, and I enjoy every game I play, win or lose.

Terran is the best fucking race ever and you should play Terran for that reason.

Picking a race is hard - it took me over 9 years, but now I have no desire to play anything but Terran. I love having the ability to control the pace of the game, even though my usual lack of aggressiveness causes me to lose most of them.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Just choose one that you enjoy playing with everytime - and stick with that and get better at it.
OR
Keep playing all 3 - get decent at all three and THEN choose whichever you enjoy, because then you have more knowledge about each races' strengths and weaknesses.

I play HUE-MON in War3 and Zerg in BW lol

hmm awesome. I play Orc and Undead in War3 so I was looking for similarities (to help play both games at the same time), then I realised SC is just so much cooler than War3 that I stopped playing the latter and doing training on the first one :D.

Thanks for the comments, I'll work on playing basically Terran and Toss (cause Zerg is too hard atm).

i have no fucking clue why i picked zerg. they're so fucking difficult. but after pouring years of my life into them, i love them unquestionably. I had a protoss stint for a bit, and now i pvz. everytime i try terran i fail miserably due to unit combos/inability to micro terran units.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Play protoss because they are honorable. Unless you are a dirty person. Then play one of the other races. And get out my face.


ahhhahahahaah <3

@op - you think too much. You either got it or you dont. capeesh? (sp?)

EDIT: JUST PLAY! (learn the races, if anything you need to know the other races just as well as your own to effectivley combat them anyway, just learn the game and the rest will just fall into place, dont worry so much and just have fun ;p)
