personality reflects ur style of play and ur aggressiveness. if ur one of those uncertain ppl, ull turtle up aftter takign ur expo and never scout. or if ur like ppl who get all caught up wen one of ur unit dies, then ur like my friend who plays halo alot
if everythings coming your way, youre in the wrong lane. sAviOr 4evar!

I chose terran because i saw boxer replays and vulture, MnM, dropship and wraith micro seemed so much fun!
I like zerg, too, because flanking is like vulture micro and muta micro is a lot of fun.
I don't like p micro :/
If I had to choose race now I would pick T before they meed their exodus...maybe 1 out of 20 games is TvT these days :/

In the Korean scene? That must be luck then (or lack thereof), because so many Kors are T.
In the foreign scene it's not surprising, Terran is simply too hard to play, it needs too much multitasking (if you think otherwise, you have no idea :p), that's why we only have like 1 or 2 top Terrans (Strelok is very good, and then... uh... then it gets already hard to choose. Maybe BRAT_OK? He did well in TSL but otherwise haven't read anything about him. Fenix? Also just some second-rate top player) while I can count at least 6 or 7 top Protosses who are able to beat anyone (JF, Nony, Dreiven, Draco, White-Ra, Legend, Arew, Cloud, the list goes on and on and on...) and several top Zergs (less than Ps but more than Ts).
I really wish people would pay more attention to this "imbalanced" race distribution, and learn about the reason behind it (ease of multitasking), and what should be done in SC2 to make each race equally playable for non-progamers.

Terran: I think you have to be OCD to play this race because if each and every little single thing isn't prefect nothing is going to work. IMo terran units are too specialized the only thing that is even slightly "all around" is rines that's it. I mean i just cannot understand how people play this race because it drives me into a state of mental psychosis.

lol hilarious, i think its a bit true anyway . This is a goodthread. I wonder what does your race choice reveals from a doctor in pshychology point of view.
And what a bout random?

And i choosed Terran only because of the tank siege , i like the idea of strategy and artillery.

I prefer protoss due to their versatility. You can actually use all the units on their rooster in any given matchup and still be somewhat efficient, something that's basically not possible with the other two races.
I also like microing individual units, which also makes me like terran (with rines in particular) but makes me dislike the group-type micro with zerg. Also, I feel toss have the middle ground approach to expanding; fewer bases than zerg, more than terran. Just enough to feel aggressive and defensive at the same time.
How that reflects my personality I'm not sure, but I guess I prefer not to be too aggressive nor too defensive, while at the same time having lots of options. Guess I'm insecure? ;D
1000 at least.

For years there were many fucking awesome non-koreans T's
I mean common dude the most recent non-korean to place in a starleague was elky for christ sake, after him every P who has gone has failed ....

NTT,Testie,Andriode,a2, froz, cope, suker, a2 (I think that was his name), hellghost, christian or whatever who placed top 3 wcg ( some bvg I can't remember) ....

dude just off the top of my head I can make your post look stupid.

In the last couple years alot of the very good T's quit playing, while alot of the people who kept playing and improving happend to be protoss, and then the protoss revolution came and P's learned to finally kill a zerg or two along with advancements in macro techniques and strategy ...

"JF, Nony, Dreiven, Draco, White-Ra, Legend, Arew, Cloud" how many of them were considered awesome two years ago .... draco is the only one that was at the top of the non-korean food chain then...

There are more protoss now because the game has been mapped out to such an extent where they are able to learn enough without having as good of scouting (like Z or to a lesser extent T) to be able to counter and treat situations precisely.

That is the hardest part of protoss, unit combinations and timming. Of course there are more protoss now that people can play them correctly!....

but that said there were always alot of great tosses..... leg/nazgul/smuft/grrr and although not as great rekrul... right there you have five tosses that went to korea before and don't forget 2005 fisheye wcg second place.

All three of the races have great achievements in the past 10 years.

The reason there are less good terran players currently is simple, THEY ARE FUCKING BORING. To be a monster TvZ and TvP and TVT requires playing the same two or three strategys over and over and over and over and over again, because they are proven and they work. Terran is boring that is why less non professionals are willing to spend countless hours playing them for no pay!

In the past, I know... many things were different back then. But I'm looking at the current situation only. After 10 years of this game, and after the "Protoss revolution".
It's a bad situation when one race so clearly dominates the foreign scene now. And despite all the talk about "P is only easy for newbies, it's hard on high levels" and so on, it is none other than Protoss which has this success at the high foreign level.

This whole post is true except for the last part where ALL I GOT TO SAY is fuck you Gary Terran is mega cool

But, I'm the kind of guy who holds proper execution above variation in builds to some extent, so even that last bit is a little true

The Top Zergs The Top Terrans and the Top Protoss all lose to each other. Maybe since there are so many more protoss players then terrans it makes for a smaller amount of Top terrans. Have you played iccup between d and c+? ... its got to be about 60% protoss players. Alot of people enjoy the race and since non-koreans CHOOSE to rely on more strategy then mechanics doesn't the most strategically diverse race make sense?.... Look at how unique the top 10 non-korean P's play .... its astounding. I make fun of toss players all the time ... for fun, but its just as hard as every other race.

The S class pro gamers embarrased everybody BUT strelok who put up the only good fight(he should have won). And of the non-koreans who won games against B level/practice partners you have Castro(z),Nony(P),Fenix(p),Handy(T) that isn't bad disribution. AND the Z and T beat koreans P's to boot!

I do have to say that 90% of Terran is not the build you choose, but the decisions you make over the course of the game. There are right times and wrong times to move out in TvP and TvZ, and a massive amount of possible choices for every aspect of your game after the initial build, and learning this shit is incredibly tricky. That's what keeps it entertaining for Terran players, I guess. There isn't much variety in the builds themselves, but there are endless ways to play Terran~

I'd have to say that it race choice begins as a personality thing, and then turns into a skill thing. When I first started playing, I played Zerg. I liked the whole idea of massing an army quickly and then surrounding people earlier than they could surround me. But at the time, I realized that I didn't have the micro skills to make effective harassments with mutas or lings. That's when I switched to Protoss. They're less micro reliant, and you don't have to have 400 APM to run somebody over.
