But it really feels protoss favored to me at least.
Maybe it's because I'm so low?
Some nights it's just 4-5 PvP's in a row.
Now I'm interested as well to see an "official" race distribution.

I dunno, I'm pretty low myself D-. I've never actually thought about race distribution until this thread now because it's always felt 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 to me. And sometimes zerg heavy- but maybe I remember them more because I am rubbish at defending my fast expands from all the possible busts or fast tech Zergs have :S

Edit
Now mind you, the old sGs tended to have a lot of Protoss in it, so maybe there's something to that.

my numbers are 47% protoss, 37% zerg, 11% terran.

I don't really see the point in chossing protoss because it's "easier" tho, if you never played 1v1 you're gonna get smashed anyway when you start out

I remember once, when I was still young and unwise I showed BW to a girl and asked her which race she fancies most. Protoss she said "because they look expensive".

The lack of terran is strange if I knew about the mechanical nature of T gameplay and the sublime power of their armies when controlled correctly when I was starting to play BW I would have definitely opted for it. But alas, all I knew was that the zerg soundtrack was by far the most awesome and now I am infested for life. Don't give up the fight my squishy terran friends!

I laughed and the song "Gold Digger" immediately popped into my head when I read this.

I dont know..

I usually host games and when people join my race is already set to Protoss, so mostly of the people end up picking Zerg versus me, which sucks because I can't beat Zerg.... not sure if their main is Zerg or they just dodge certain matchups.

rant:
how are you supposed to break 6 sunkens behind an evo and hatch...... fucking simcity.. and then there is also the mutas. Holy crap fuck mutas they are so annoying, even more annoying than mosquitos flying into your ear during your sleep..... fuck mutas.

If they turtle like that make sure they don't expand elsewhere, go drain him.

I've been experimenting more on 1 base play. I know it's not standard, but it feels a lot more comfortable to me. Plus I don't lose to all the possible ling all-ins/hydra busts/2hatch muta/quick lurker/etc crap that's really hard to scout from FE for us low level players. PvZ was the source of almost all my frustrations in BW, but since I started 1basing I've been a lot happier, even if it isn't the current strongest way to play.

I think that is because sadly there is not enough info on how to properly execute "standard" builds. e.g. Liquipedia tells you the build order, but I once found a post by Idra on how to do a 9 min push tvz, things like cancel marines and get 2nd rax asap if you scout 12hatch, get factory before +1, and such are not explained well in liquipedia, they are such eye openers because i would all of a sudden find myself with double the army size at checkpoint timings (pre-spire, pre-lurker, etc), which snowballs since i would take less damage from mutas and so on.

When you do a 1-base build there's not much deviation so you often get to play perfect for far longer, and it can easily put you in a better midgame than a poorly executed fe, alas for us noobies we can't even tell that we are doing it wrong so we can't improve.

on a related note, i downloaded the tsl2 replay pack, which handle was idra using in it?

Just wondering I already have one iCCup account and I would like to join this clan. Are you allowed to have multiple iCCup accounts? or is that against the ToS and will get both your accounts banned? Thanks.

You can have more than one account. It's fine.

Hi I'm sGs.Fusi I decided to come to BW from SC2 I plan on playing terran and I would like to pratice with fellow low level players as I'm a little bit nervous about playing BW against real people and some matches before I start laddering would help me get over my initial online nerves that I always have playing an online game at first. But a quick newbie question anyways what's the basic 101 for new players TvZ and TvT opening? I know siege expand for TvP but I'm not too sure about the other matchups right now against the AI I just kind of wing it but I'd much prefer to have some kind of basic opening in my mind.

Just like for starcraft 2, Broodwar also has a Liquipedia page chalk full of strategies for all 3 races. Here is the link to the terran portion

Just made an account and played a few bw games for the first time in...probably a decade? Name is sGs.Runnin, D- (is there an F?) random player. If you're in the same boat feel free to hit me up for games if I'm on, I had a great 30 minute game against another sGs guy whose name I can't recall, but it was awesome to be able to log on and immediately find someone with an equally low skill level.
