Ahhhh.. The dilemma I'm constantly faced with. I'm going to write this blog in a format of a paragraph or 2 for the races. I like both races just some qualities I like about some races, and other's I like about the others
Terran:
I think it's my favorite race but I'm not sure. I love Terran vs Protoss and I've understood Terran vs Terran. It's Terran vs zerg that gets to me. I don't know how to beat them. Once I get a sizeable ball of forces they go out, and forced back in by the masses of the swarm. And my macro is not bad for a D player. It's my lurker micro. I try to put as much emphasis on macro as possible but something about it just makes life difficult. If I want to win in TvZ I need to micro more.
Now to Terran vs Protoss: I love it. Every part. I love the beginning micro against Zealot harasses, Goon harass, then I love macroing and pushing out with a large 200/200 force of troops realizing they started getting carriers. I love the "OH CRAP!!" factor and I love microing Goliaths. Oh man I love it.
Terran vs Terran I like because it's alot like chess and it's the matchup where I like to use a lot of different openings also the fact that it's bassed on skill and strategy.
Zerg:
Zerg vs Protoss. I love it. I seem to love to crush Protoss. But I like the masses of units where you often lose a handful to one good storm only to have macro'd a much larger amount with all your expos. That's another thing, I really like the macro aspect of zerg. It's just so much fun building so many units that you can barely control. It's just so much fun
Zerg vs Terran is alot of fun but I find it quite hard. However I like the start of mutas annoying the hell out of the Terran and flying in doing as much damage only ro later switch to lurkers which totally decimate the opponent. The end game I like the Ultra-ling with plague and dark swarm mixed in. It's so much fun but so difficult. However I try, usually fail, but I always lose the game feeling I've done good.
Zerg vs Zerg: I hate it I hate it I hate it. It's probably the only matchup stopping me from becoming a zerg. I feel like no matter what I can't win. I always feel like I should stick to one race and I've already considered playing Terran vs Zerg and sticking with zerg. But I like the other Terran matchups so much.
So my dilemma is that I like both races, I just don't like playing vs Zerg. They're really frustrating. I really like Terran but everytime I lose I go " You know zerg is alot of fun too" and so I play as zerg for a while. But that just severely slows down my learning. Giving me an immense amount of trouble trying to climb the ranks. Not that I would climb anyway. I really don't know what to do or how to do this. So I seek you're help Teamliquid. I need guidance. The answer is probably obvious I just can't see it.

Terran, stay true to your species!

To make up for me switching to zerg, play Terran.
You are basically the opposite of me. I dislike TvP and TvT, but TvZ was enough to keep me around for a while. And wtf a person who likes to ZvP!?
Go with Terran. Its a lot of fun to play and TvZ is awesome. SK Terran is the funnest play style in the whole game.. really.

Well, it sounds like as terran you have two fun match ups, and one hard one. As Zerg it sounds like you have two fun match ups, and one terrible one. I think the choice is clear. Stick with Terran. Once you get tvz down, you may find that just as enjoyable as tvp.

Thank you. I shall take to your words, however I think I'll see what others say too

while you may hate zerg vs zerg now, once you get enough practice and you understand the subtleties of it, i think you'll come to like, or at least be fine with it.

lurker micro is easy H_ had a great picture somewhere that i've been reproducing like a madman
on a side note you obviously don't have enough tanks to kill lurks.

About the tanks, you're probably right :/

Yeah, all you'll have to do is make corsairs, attack-move, and storm if you feel fancy, nothing to it.

God forbid this require you to get fancy and storm, combined with microing for once; damned Protoss players.

Starcraft is not a random journey where you have a 1/3 chance to like the race you end up with. Every race is intricate, deep and incredibly rewarding. You get out of it what you put into it. If you randomly selected a race, as long as you put a lot into it, you'll get a lot out of it. Just randomly choose one if you have to, but when you decide, however you decide it, focus on it. Download all the FPvods of that race you can. Study it. Learn of it's history and it's future. Like if you choose T, Learn of the Midas push, and Nada style from years back, then learn Flash's build. etc..
Every race has a history and an evolution that comes with it. All 3 are insanely interesting and rewarding. Choose randomly if you have to, but the sooner you choose, the sooner you can deeply explore a race.
