Im really curious about one thing. When you like, when you REALLLLYYY like some progamer would change your race and start playing his?

[image loading]

Poll: Would you change your main race for the one of the progamer you like ?
(Vote): YES!!!
(Vote): NO!!!

I guess that depends. I play protoss and my favorite player is Bisu, shouldn't be very hard to understand why. I also really liked how savior was playing in his prime, and I really like how Jaedong is playing now.

But still, I'm sticking to protoss because I'm just a casual players, and I'm always inactive. Playing protoss makes it easier when you come back to bw after a few weeks of inactivity.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

This title pisses me off. I always mix progamers with programmers, this just makes me mess it up even more.

when I was hanging out with the CJ Coach at US Finals / Blizzcon I kept saying sAviOr was my favorite player and he thought that was super odd cuss I was a toss player. I went on to tell him that my fav players were sAviOr Jaedong and YellOw which surprized him to shit since apparently most kors idolize there own race. If i were to go back in time I would become a Z player for sure.

I like progamers who play the races I like in a way I enjoy seeing them played. I'll make this clearer with some examples:

I love watching Hwasin (for his great biomech and SKTerran) and Flash (for his great mech, macro and game sense). On the other hand I don't like Fantasy so much, despite the awesomeness of his builds. From what i've seen he's a bit of an "on the edge" player, and I like Terrans to have a rock solid gameplay. The sort of army that nothing can take down, rather than the type of army which directly counters what the opponent is making, while keeping the opponents production capacity under check.
-I'm obviously generalizing to illustrate what i'm saying, don't take this too litterally fantasy fans

My favorite race by far is Zerg though, and I enjoy watching all the different styles (JD, Lux, July, Savior, [NC]YellOw etc...) because I feel they are all rather fitting to the way I see the Zerg race.

Additionnally, I hate protoss gameplay, so I very rarely feel like cheering for a toss. Even back when Bisu started propagating his "bisu build" and the toss fans were crying in awe, i was like: "meh, DTs aren't really fun, I prefer reaver/corsair builds". Obviously it's totally my opinion, and I can see how people find the 6 dragons to be awesome (and any other protoss player for that matter ).

No.

I love all terrans in existence, and only like one zerg: sAviOr.

Though I'm a Zerg player...

Im sorry for the wrong title, i meant ProGamers sorry ><

yea Hammy i understand what you wanted to say.

well, i started playing protoss coz my uncle play it, and i kept it till the day. But when i comapare the races, i like when a player is really aggressive from the start. Thats why i partially like Horang2, but meh the protoss race simply doesnt allow you to play so aggressive like Zerg or even Terran (strong pushes and so on). I really hate the: MASS ARMY AND GO 1a2a3a... it is easy but becomes really boring. I tried playing Zerg and im so surprised of how their units are weak i mean you must have some uber gosu micro to control that. With terrans on the other hand you have a possibility to play in an aggressive/entertaining way -> sumadream or 200/200 upgrades which is also boring. I have a big dilemma regarding the races, and with toss im just C- so it isnt too late to change the race

I chose terran because of Boxer, but that was when I was a D- beginner. Even if I really liked some other progamers (I cheered for Stork soo much against Fantasy) I wouldn't chose race, I play terran because I find them fun

I always change my race because of progamers, I can't seem to focus on one. Recently, fantasy's play made me switch to terran, I love his style. But yet, that game when jaedong goes pure muta vs iris made me think of playing zerg though... I guess I should just random

I don't know. My favourite player is Flash, and I already play Terran.

OP - change races. It's not for Jaedong, but for yourself. If masterful control of the swarm is what excites you in starcraft, then make the leap and play zerg.

Nada actually played protoss against tossgirl in some tournament in China if I'm not mistaken. I think the map was Lost Temple and Nada won.

As much as I am a (Z)Jaedong and (Z)sAviOr fan, I love playing as Protoss and I am also a fan of some Protoss players as well (like (P)Bisu and (P)GARIMTO). Strangely, though, I cannot seem to grow to like any of the Terran players.

But in any case, no I would not switch just to play as the same race as my favourite progamer. My personal belief is that which race do you play and which progamers you like are not necessarilly related since your favourite progamer might play a race that does not fit your playstyle.
