Terran in BW dosen't appeal to me the same way as it does in Sc2. I guess I should test all the races myself instead of asking for what race is the best for me. The main point for me in BW is to try something new(old.. lol) and also try to understand the games from ProLeague because it is enteraining, but I dont understand to much. Will go into Iccup as a part of sGs if i get in and try to become an overall better rts player. Protoss is DEFINATELY the beginner-friendly race. While Terran takes a good amount of mechanics to become decent at, and Zerg needs good decision making and sense of the game (as well as having some tricky micro to learn with mutas), good macro will get you far with Protoss. | ||

QFT. I started as Terran, very briefly (before I knew actual builds) switched to Protoss, then went back to Terran and never looked back. As a result I am a frustrated little emo b****, crying myself to sleep while millisecond-late sieges and stimming one too many times haunt my dreams. | ||

I want to play the most challenging race to get my mechanics in sc2 even better, i plan to play bw for a few weeks without any sc2 and see if my mechanics is any better. Any tips on what race i should play?  I used to play Random at D+ level and was Masters level Terran/Protoss in SC2. Protoss is the most transition friendly race between SC2 and BW. The expansion timings, playstyle, macro is all very similar to SC2. I would suggest playing Protoss it is the most multitasking heavy race. Terran is a little different, in that it does require good mechanics to play but it is mechanics that you don't really have to think about, therefore becoming a higher APM player as Terran is easier than Protoss. Protoss you have to micro corsairs, drops, reavers, storms, dragoons, zealots, etc. Once you get D+ as Protoss you will be able to drop like MMA. Just make sure you play a harass based/multitasking play (Bisu) style rather than a han bang (Best/Jangbi) style. PvP: 2 gate Reaver, its actually the most stable build, but also nuts multitasking wise. PvZ: Bisu Build(s), make sure to keep controlling your corsairs while doing DT/Storm drops, etc. PvT: 1 Gate Pressure FE (pressure constantly, microing while expanding), Storm drops, etc On January 15 2012 06:05 RainSunShowers wrote: Would you recommend Protoss over Terran for a new BW player, ive become a little fan of Bisu and Best after ive seen quite a few matches from ProLeague.

Also if you don't think Terran is interesting, just watch UpMagic (labelled neo-Boxer, but was caught in the scandal and banned  ). | ||

Someone recommended me not to play mirrors yet as Terran, so which would be the best two builds to start from? :O You should play mirrors as Terran. Just don't be a douche and do 2 port wraith stuff before you've learned the basics like Tank positioning, dropship play, etc. Heaps of D players who can't do shit once a player learns how to make turrets and goliaths. D players are pretty cheesy so you should Siege expand and get ready to put down an E-bay and armory if you scout starports. Easy win. | ||
