I play Terran simply because I think A) Banshees are the coolest unit in the game
and B) Marines with combat shields look so, so awesome.

They are simply the coolest to me. Zerg looks mushy and all the same, and Protoss just seems to operate in a huge blob all the time.

Terran because I played it in SC1 the most. Plus most of my friends play protoss so I gotta be different.

Terran, because the thor is a gundam and my only goal is to incorporate them into every build I do.

Does Random count as a race? lol

I don't want to pick a race yet until there's a race I'm clearly better with. I seem to be going towards Terran but I can't tell if that's just because Marauders were so good (I've only played Terran once in patch 8).

I always play terran for my first few months in an SC game... did it for sc1 doing it for sc2... playing random in 2v2 to expose myself to the other races though. After a few months I can decide which race I like the most.

I'm a Zerg player, and always have been since I first started playing.

The reasons why had a lot to do with my brother playing protoss, since zerg were basically the opposite of them (Protoss were Quality > Quantity when Zerg were Quantity > Quality). I liked the whole swarm mechanic, and I also loved the hydralisk/lurkers.

Not to mention the Zerg campaign was baller.

i was playing toss but i noticed that at the time every game i was in there was a toss, 1v1 or 2v2 so i decided to zerg as i dont think i can deal with all the addons now for terran. Right now i am actually trying to learn terran but to no avail and right now i barely see toss... >.>

Zerg resembles Undead most (at least in my mind) so..it was natural to start in SC2 with Zerg.

Same race as BW, zerg for life !

Why i like Zerg ? Because they are fast, u get shitload of units and can reveal the entire map with overlords. And also because they look scary and disgusting.

I was big on protoss in SC1 but the Terrans look so damn cool in SC2.

And I can't get enough of the flying buildings and swapping addons. It's such a great mechanic!

Edit: I love flying a CC to a remote expansion at the beginning of the game :D

Zerg for simultaneous production. In a recent game, I popped 25 roaches out at the same time off of 3 hatcheries with some queen help after losing my main.

Simultaneous production = win

Same reason I chose Z in BW

I like the larva aspect of Zerg. Played Terran in BW, switched to Z in BW, now Z in SCII.

I picked terran because I'm a human and anyone who doesn't play terran is an enemy of humanity

Zerg is actually my favorite race because I think the whole idea of their history and is biology really interesting. But I'm naturally good at protoss so I decided to build on my strengths. Also I love the idea of quality over quantity
