This may sound like the dumbest reason ever, but when I played broodwar as a kid with my brother on BGH (that is probably the only map we ever played lol), I hated the fact that terran workers had to build the buildings, and zerg had to use their workers to morph into buildings. I liked being able to just warp in a building as protoss. I was used to how protoss worked when sc2 came out, and just stuck with it. It's also the reason I chose to play Undead in Warcraft III, since they could summon their buildings =)

I like spellcasters carrying my army, and back in BW, I liked Dragoons.
I first realized Immortals were reincarnated Dragoons when I saw them dancing helplessly behind my Stalkers.

Slayers Boxer made me want to play terran in BW. I just stuck loyally with the race. UEA ftw.
I have a dream, that some day I wouldn't see any imba comments in GSL threads.

Zerg has superior style and flavor. The way zerglings engulf the enemy, how the map gets infested by creep, so many banelings, the overall artistic design of the race. From a gameplay point of view, you have to play more intelligently and reactively than with the other races. I always feel like an underdog, which makes every won battle that much more rewarding.


I think that too when I play Zerg. If I win by 4 gating as toss, or winning with a deathball lategame I just think "cool" and start up another game. With Zerg I feel satisfied and I just sit back and relax for a bit, because you usually have to do alot more thinking.

BW i played Toss first like all newbies+ Show Spoiler +
Mass Carrier Arbiter FTW
. Switched to Terran when i got serious about the game+ Show Spoiler +
and because Flash is a baller. Plus Terran always seemed more fun though mechanically difficult. And i <3 TvT
. When i started SC2 in Beta i Randomed. Then picked up Terran because it just came naturally and by far the funnest Race IMHO. And TvT is still the best Mirror Match up. ZvZ crap PvP is more crap.+ Show Spoiler +
TvT=Every Unit in Terrans Arsenal is literally used. PvP 4 gate FTW into Collosi FTW. Zerg= Ling Ling Ling Bling Bling Bling Roach Roach Roach
. Kind of funny though I've never actually use Maruaders in my play until recently and thats only to FE off of 1 Rax. + Show Spoiler +
Marauders are boring

I play Zerg because I prefer the macro mechanics (bind all hatches to one key and produce units from 1 building). I dislike creating probes/SCVs every few seconds, as well as having to take up a bunch of bind keys for barracks/robo/factory/starport etc.

Zerg is by far the most rewarding race to play when your winning as the whole time your sprinting along a razors edge where one mistake means no matter how ahead you lose, it's units are fast, aggressive and attack in swarms, no other race has anywhere near the speed and sheer bloody mindedness of a zergs army when it's finally moving in to break the enemies army.

There is nothing funner then winning with zerg, every victory feels completely earned and nothing can match the sheer rush you get from continually skirting the brink of defeat.

Zerg and I dont know why really. Think I should change it to Terran or Protoss soon...

ZvZ is about as fun as a dentist's appointment and Protoss is just boring (collosus pewpewpew). Plus winning TvP with mech makes me feel so innovative and cool.

I play Random cause playing just one race is boring when all the races are very fun to play.

i play depending on my mood, but since i love siege tank and battle cruiser design from sc1. I consider terran my main race.
Switching around is not a real problem because zerg and toss are easier to win with at my level of play, so i tend to go up 1 or 2 leagues when switching and fall down again *g*. (or i am just terribel with terran hehe.)

Tried Random, and Zerg suited me the most with the easiest macro and simple micro, which is great for a bronze player like me

All my friends played T/P back in SC and eventually BW so I rolled Z to make things interesting.
Stayed with Z because after 10 years, they still look so much cooler (except Immortals.. they are just awesome looking).

I have a feeling most posters on this topic will be Zerg players, because if they are still playing Zerg, they MUST have a good reason.
Not all, but a lot of players only play to win, and right now its a lot easier to win with Protoss and Terran.

Just picked Zerg, the looks alone did it.

After I dediced I wanted to play this game a bit more seriously I tried all the races but nothing can compare to the feeling of making 20 units in a second :D (and the realising how abd my macro is)
We know nothing.

Not dumb at all. Very legit imo

I play Zerg cuz it was the race I played and loved so much in BW. The reason why I loved them so much was cuz of the Lurkers, Defilers, cracklings, and one supply endless line of Hydras..

Okay I sound like an whiner and I admit I dont like SC2 Zerg as much as BW Zerg. But I still play my race in hope of they will be cool again in HoTS.
