I guess ill start with my favorite of the three. Zerg: IMO ( i stress IMO) I think that mostly zerg players are charismatic, outgoing, emotional, and generally strong willed. My Horoscope for western in Sagittarius and for the Chinese zodiac I am a Tiger. I am defiantly a go getter and am really stubborn. I shoot from the hip so to say. I can be slightly arrogant at times, however i generally get along well with people i meet. I believe that these traits IMO show through the best with the zerg play style. For example Zerg's really can't do anything sneaky- ie proxy are pretty much impossible. A zerg is rarely if ever going to beat you with a little sneak attack or some cute micro trick. IMO a zerg 's best asset is simply fighting straight up, straight on gun ho. Zergs don't do anything tricky- they just power units and begin to hammer away at your army wave after wave, until eventually you die. No pretty micro just brute force- that's what i like plain and simple. No tricks, no nothing except honest head on battle. Now from my point of view of the zvp zvt match ups. ZvP: IMO protoss is a huge pussy and i hate them all. Here is why. I rarely if ever see a protoss just go balls to the wall straight up mid game huge army and roll. No no, i see some pussy DT sair shit or even worse some more pussy reaver sair shit. I see them dropping temps, sitting behind their psi storm and generally being tricky sneaky bastards. Also when a protoss takes an expo- holy shit cannon cannon cannon off one pylon at a choke there. With a templar woo. Also their units are imo worthless assassins. Ie. Sair- fast annoying, great for harrass and being a bitch but not in head on fights. Same with reavers, DT, DA and fucking carrier's. God damn protoss hides behind everything- cloak and recall, and psi storm. When a toss tries to go carriers on me, all they do is run run when i fight them- run so you can get your arb, or your ht or your da. I mean Christ i just can't stand it. ZvT: Ok well terran are not as bad- however they still succumb to at times being huge pussies. At worse you get a terran who proxies everything, and bunker rushes and does some tricky early drop ship play. Trying to take out my knees and not fight head on. Little bastards. (IMO) Besides that terran start off well- huge group of MnM and get out there and roll. However the head on battles that i enjoy with a terran early game army are short lived. Soon tanks. wtf........ lets just sit 123981345 miles away perfectly safe and blast the shit out of you ok? well that is some bs however i am willing to look past this little problem, because what comes next just brings my piss to a boil. Now this is what for me ruins the whole terran race, and it is the following. That fucking cloud of sci vessles. Need i say more? ohh hell yes. First off those mothers are quick, i mean really quick- so trying to kill them before they go and decide to hover over their sea of MnM is actually quite difficult. Do you know what else is difficult? Watching all of your drones die because two vessles splooged on each other and are now happily fly above your min line killing everything. woo hoo. Now as far as protoss players personality types: I don't have much to go on so TL im hoping that some of you will help to fill in the blanks Terran players: same as above I don't know their personality types- TL plz help me fill in this blank as well Feel free to add/flame anything. | ||

After 5 years I think I've picked the wrong race though. My bw skills are 90% mechanics, macro and speed, which fits a lot more to terran. Also protoss have to play risky in many situations, and I like playing straight and winning in the late game, so I suppose my pick was the worst among the three. I don't like my race at all actually, and I don't see how it could reflect my personality. I also disagree with all the people saying that the race picks you or w/e. You just pick a race randomly without knowing if it fits you the best or not. No one will ever know if he picked the right race before at least a good year or two of playing in my opinion. But well, I might change to terran or zerg in sc2 My hero ... hates his own race ;_; | ||

Terran works for me, i personally enjoy TvZ more than TvP, mm with vessels has a certain feel to it which i dig. TvP mech isn't that bad either, tank creeping is the downside, but mapcontrol with crazy bikers is awesome. Worst thing about terran is loosing your advantage. You work so hard for it so when a main battle is lost to an unlucky mine detonation or whatever, it often tilts you, at least it does me. | ||

I really think you have to be a specific kind of person to be able to play terran every game. Terran and Zerg are like the opposites... just like the OP said. Also, I love how the OP gave credit to terrans, the race really | ||

Also, with zerg i don't feel pressured to micro perfectly like i do with T. I can lose a couple groups of lings and it doesnt matter as much. Not as much pressure really. Also i'm more of a macro kind of guy, and making ass tons of units from hatches is easy for me and once i get rolling with about 4 bases and full upgrades its alot of fun. Also the final thing i have to say that i like about zerg is the potential to all in in many different ways. I have a kind of "fuck it if this doesnt work who cares" attitude in real life so i'm not afraid to try lots of different all ins and generally i'm more successful with zerg when i play like this. | ||

However, once you've had a little experience, I think your preference becomes whichever style of play you like best, with what race do you "naturally" seem to have more success, and/or aesthetically, what do you least mind staring at for the thousands and thousands of hours that many players put into Starcraft. So, to answer the OP: initially, yes, I think we select based on personality. Once you've played a few games, I think things change. | ||
