I hate Toss and how they have one small army that they run around with everywhere.
I hate the slowness of terran mech(tanks thors and marauders)
And I love map control and speed, so I went with Zerg

I used to play Zerg in SC1, but then switched to Terran in the past six months or so.. first just to offrace and mess around, but then I decided that I felt a LOT more comfortable with it.. so I stayed with it for SC2 and I mostly play Terran in SC2 so far just because I don't know how to play toss or zerg well :p

when SC1 came out I used to have two best friends and we played together all the time (It was 98 so we were like 9 or so) One ended up being a Protoss player one was a Terran player, so obviously I had to fill the trifecta.

As for SC2 well after playing Zerg so exclusively during brood war it just fit like an old glove.


Sounds like a good idea for a novel/movie XD

I just played random for 20 games or so and settled on zerg mainly because I really like their macro mechanics.

Played zerg in BW. In SC2 zerg was about the same except much easier to macro and much less micro. Aside from some build orders and very basic stuff there was really nothing new for me to learn so i figured I might as well practice something else during the beta and I can always come back to zerg whenever I feel like it. Protoss was not an option (hate em, sc1 noob race) and Terran seemed more fun anyways with a large variety of units that I wanted to try out so I stuck with it.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

Terran, because Chrono Boost is just too much work.

Zerg is boring and Terran is too cool and I felt that anyone who does not play Terran must be dumb! But I didn't want to be the same race as everyone else so I chose Protoss

Terran, because I only played them in Brood War and I love the new units like the thor, viking, marauder and finally a ghost that's useful. ^_^

Random, because knowing all the races is the manliest approach.
1000 at least.

I chose Terran because I like the ability to scan. If I want to see something on the map, then I see it. If Zerg had simple recon like that, I would have picked them.

zerg assistant talks like Gollum and Zealot's attack effect sounds like a swarm of bees. So i picked Terran.

Terran. I find them the most fun to play.
