I've started playing Terran recently and its so fucking hard T_T. Before that i was a Protoss player (and i thought THAT was hard )

That makes it all the more fun
I find TvT kinda boring rite now so im staying away from that for the meanwhile...

I think Terran players are very methodical. Tvp especially, because you have to lay mines, make a good formation, etc. I guess that's why I SUCK. Because I can't win TvP for shit.

Zerg players are probably um... aggressive people? But then you take a look at jaedong and it makes you wonder about that.

Protoss... well, whenever I think of a toss player I think of reach. So i guess protoss players are the most manly.
mmmmm...

i think terran is easy, all i do is execute builds w/ logic behind them tvz and I have enjoyed great succes with that even though I've played Zerg far more and am not even close to as succesfull with that race.

i'm pretty aggressive and don't like to take it slow. i also main terran.

what comes of this is that i never do this 'slow push' thing i keep hearing about and i love dropships.

wow the turnout for this thread has been much more than i had previously expected. But i hope that you all don't mind if i make one more plea to the rest of you TL- Could you please try and formate a few posts like my original so i can get a better understanding of my previous question(s) I may decide to use this interesting question for a school project (because of the overwhelming turnout) and i was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind providing some more concrete data...... thanks?

im surprised by how many people chose Zerg, simply because it was the race that came least naturally to them and therefore had to improve on certain skills. I was initially very drawn to protoss, however started playing my worst race (zerg) simply because i thought it was a challenge.

PS i dont really get people who say that zerg was the easiest race for them when they started sc, i cannot understand why. (im zerg btw)

Also i am often worried by my lack of natural talent in sc (im one of those ppl who has initial talent at most things), however ive always put this down to the type of driven competitive players that sc draws (the opponents being better), now im wondering if i had picked a race that came more naturally if i would have been more successful ^^

I picked zerg after watching a bunch of Kimwanchul vs boxer reps back in the day... I thought ZvT was so artfull and amazing I wanted to specialize in it. Also my friend Cope was terran at the time and we both loved the TvZ matchup so it was obvious I should play Z.

There's one thing I've always wondered - Why are all the fat ppl always zerg? I swear it I've only seen fat zerg players (and Im not just talking about July), it's weird. There must be a reason for it!

my general opinions are :

Terran : My race. Terran is manly, tanks stomping shit vultures are fun to harrass with and mines are fun to place. Anoying thing is, you have to think about positioning, when to siege , where to place mines etc, and a toss just A clicks and maybe storms. i like terran builds and buildings and play style. Also being the hardest race ( in my opinion, technically speed and positioning) fulfills my quick hands.

zerg : like a disease across the world, mass expansions, mass units, lots of strategy involved lots of mobilitiy, suiciding zerglings is fun etc. this race as my 2nd.

protoss : easiest to macro with, highest hp units, fewest units. most effective spells really (recall storm) easy to cheese with. Nothing really hard about protoss except for the fact that it can be really hard to defend your bases from a zerg and can be hard to attack terrans in a well fortified position, usualy have to bring something extra to the table.

i would never play protoss, gimpfest

^^ still i like that their in the game so i can rape them

60:40:0 terran:zerg:toss is my preferance

and in answer to the question, yes i do think it reflects personalility

Players with most temperament are always Toss, you can see this even nationwide where more temperament nations have more top toss players.
Toss players are also usually cool and betterlooking.

Zerg players on the other hand are not aggressive but instead phlegmatic. This also explain why there are more fat zerg guys around.

Terran, hmm I don't know too many terran players but those who come in mind are crazy freaks. And they usually look like ones too.
Exception made for Boxer, who looks cool.

I play Protoss because I like the unit efficiency, as you said in the OP. I don't like throwing away dozens of units (which is why PvT push breaking makes me cry sometimes, and lategame PvZ). I love microing zealots against lings in the early game, goons against early Terran units, etc. I feel like every unit is valuable and has to be taken care of. I also really enjoy the mechanics of PvT, as in using drops and mine drags and etc. I guess I would have to say I'm a micro player, but not the kind that patrols vultures and lays mines or likes to do massive zergling flanks (although when I offrace Z I do that). So I like Protoss.
Peace~

I think it does reflect kind of... not all the time... but most of the time I think it does..

for me, it kinda goes like this... I cant never decide on anything or Im always changing my plans or thoughts in life so quick.. like everyday is something new '-___-

Thats prolly why I switched from toss to Terran and then keep playing all 3 races everyday.. like I tell myself one day... I wanna be like mjy and then the next day Im like aggrrr I hate Zerg I wanna be like bo sung.. etc

Same shit here man with T and Z I can never decide...

But I've been sticking to Z lately because they're very spontaneous and that was the race I chose first when I started playing on iCC.

Heh. Actually, I started out on protoss because originally it was me and two friends of mine who played regularly; one went zerg, one went terran, and I was stuck trying to pick a race, so I started out by changing races every game pretty much. One of my friends commented that I played zerg like a protoss player, and I played protoss player like a zerg player, meaning when I played zerg, I would make too few units and expect them to win out against everything, thus I would get owned *hard.* When I was protoss, I would make more units and therefore have a stronger army. Plus, we needed a toss player, so...

I think the races go along a power/number spectrum. Zerg are at the numbers end, and protoss are at the power end, and terran are somewhere in the middle. I like to play the power end, so I'm protoss. If any of you guys play Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I play Ike, the slowest and strongest character So I guess it kind of fits.

As to the personalities themselves, I'm not sure if it's really reflections of their race or not. I guess zerg players are probably colder, because units are cheap and expendable, and protoss have to value all their units and not waste them, so they have to be more careful. Terran, as I said before, is a mix of both.
