I play Terran, mostly because I played it in BW and started playing it in the beta as well because of that. I played a bit of random at release, but just always felt the most comfortable with Terran. Macro games of TvZ feel a lot like BW TvZ which is cool, since it was always a really manly matchup. And TvP fascinates me because there's so many things that hint at it being a role reversal of BW TvP, where the Terran is the one trying to grab a lot of expansions and avoid the Protoss ball, rather than the other way around. I hate TvT, but I hate the other mirrors even more so what can you do.

The unfortunate thing is that it's really uncool to be Terran on TL lately, so there's hardly any streams of good T players anymore. :p Any random time you look at the sidebar of featured streams it's almost all Zerg and Protoss. Oh well.

I play Terran because I like to micro my units and multitask. But I play macrostyle because I don't like to be aggressive for no reason, I think playing with large amounts of terran units is fun.

I play Z but i hate ZvZ with a passion.

My TvT is on such a high level compared to my ZvZ.. but my ZvT/P are both pretty good

I play zerg because production is mechanically very fucking simple, so i can put 90% of my effort into good positioning and strategy rather than spamming several production structures.

IF i was a better mechanical player id probably swap to T because it actually rewards multitasking

I play Zerg, not really from some traditional reason, as I didn't play BW, and pretty much came into SC2 very fresh to the whole scene (I wasn't even going to buy the game until I watched some vods before release). However, I did play other RTS games in the past, and Z just seemed like it was somewhat different than traditional "guy comes out of a barracks" fare, so I thought, what the hell, and started to learn the race, and have grown to like it, through all the ups and downs.

In regards to mirrors, I feel like ZvZ is alright once a midgame has been established, though it is annoying getting there sometimes. No doubt PvP is a worse matchup though.

Protoss. Played them when I used to do some light BW back in the day. My friends all played Terran and I was like "protoss looks cool..."

SC2 it was protoss as well. What's not to like? Awesome looking units. Ninjas (DT). Warping building and units. Shields. Technology oriented.

I can't stand Terran. Everything about them. What their units say, how they move, etc. Weird since I also hated Humans back in Warcraft 3.

I find Zerg really cool but I just can't play them for the life of me. My brain just doesn't work that way. Drones or units? eh...don't know!

zerg. because i like to break things when I lose because I can't scout it and also becuase I like coping with depression.

on a serious note though, i like being agressive and creative (both of which i feel zerg lacks in sc2 but thats besides the point) and when I played bw (which was in 4th grade when i was like 9) I thought zerg was baller. so when i started to play sc2 i was like i'll be a baller @ zerg then a baller @ toss but then as I realized I wanted to actually be good, I stuck with 1 race (zerg) and now i'm 3800++ zerg, although I'm heavily considering switching to random.

Playing Zerg right now mainly because that's what I played in BW and there's something about the organic feel of the race that I really like. Maybe it's all the squishy sounds...

not to start anything but you do realize terran is not the easiest race nor imba. Late game is tough for most T's not to mention we are forced to micro in every match up. Toss is by far the easiest race to play. I really don't think you know much about the game and your just trollin

Protoss is actually quite difficult at higher levels. All the races are, but I can assure you protoss is very difficult at higher levels. I would get down from that high horse and meanwhile stop feeding the trolls

Carried over Protoss from Brood War. Played Protoss back then because I could fit more supply of basic units in a control group.

I am currently playing Terran, because I want to play as Zerg/Protoss, Using an old technique play the race you were weakest against, then switch to your good race. Having been forcing myself to play Terran I have learned how to beat them as a Toss now. "Aka, how come toss loses to MM/MMM Tank/M" etc..

I play Protoss because they're the easiest for me honestly. I would love to play Terran, but I can't micro my units and multitask very well which is needed for Terran more than protoss which just has 1 ball of units you a-move.

I decided to start playing protoss to make up for my lack of mechanics and creativity.
Colossus are a very strong unit and i intend to win off the back of them from now on.
forcefield is also really easy to execute and unimaginably powerful.

I love the feel of protoss. Feels very mystical and spell-caster orientated (i play casters in all rpgs haha), while at the same time being technologically advanced. Love the forcefields, psi-storm, warp-ins.
