As i stated in the other blog i need help deciding on a race permanently.
Gonna go over each race uh thing but i dont know which one i should use..

Terran : I wanna switch to terran everytime i watch a (T)BoxeR game i want to play terran so much.. then i actually play and realise i suck..

TvT : This is fun because it can go back and forth and i really enjoy it aslong as it doesnt involve 3 hours of camping until someone pulls a pimpest play and wins the game..

TvZ : This is fun also i just find it really difficult because my macro is sooooo bad. I do win these occasionally mostly when i do an all in scv rush ..or a 3 rax no iccup zerg expects those .

TvP : This really really really,and i mean REALLY pisses me off. I cant macro worth shit in this because i get so fucking mad at the early game because of protoss' gonna get a shuttle and a reaver and fucking rape my scvs attitude. If it isnt reavers its an uber epic DT drop killing scvs. Then of course if i make it past these i get into battle with my 120 supply army only to find that with the most basic of macro skills he's at 200/200 -.-. He a-clicks into me and its over. I really really really hate this fucking match up so badly.
I went on a 20 game playing thing with terran,I gave up after 0-7.

Zerg :
ahh zerg After watching a (Z)July or (Z)sAviOr game i always want to play them and i usually enjoy it. some times..

ZvZ : I absolutely fucking love ZvZ its so much fun even if i lose alot of the time,the low econ and stuff just gets me so excitied.

ZvT : This is really bad because i over micro my mutas and come back to 3k/3k and then i get raped. It sucks,that or i cant hold onto a third and die that way ~_~.

ZvP : Fucking hate this worse than ZvP,Since as i read earlier protoss a clicks and hits t once in a while to storm if they wanna be fancy.

Currently 4-5 with zerg.

Protoss :
Ooh protoss,what i do when i want free wins.

PvP : I find this fun too because of the reavers and dragoons fighting since this is a micro game which is fun.

PvT : eZ.

PvZ : This is annoying because on iccup i get hydra broken or mass speedlinged all inned all the fucking time. When this doesnt happen i follow standard operating procedure.
Not to mention when i played a 20 game session, I came out with like 1600 points 10-10 or so ~_~..

What i ask of you TL is to pls help me decide on a race..

Anything but protoss. We don't need another a-clicker on iccup. 75% of all starcraft players are protoss anyways.

Just play Zerg, the feeling you get when you flank someone with an obscene amount of Ultra/lings is amazing.
We make signature, then defense it.

It's mostly preference, what do you feel like you would be able to keep playing in the long run, and what matches your style. Just keep that in mind when you're choosing. Even if you're not pulling in a lot of wins with a certain race currently, if you feel most comfortable with it, follow that path.
