protoss because i have always been protoss. If i had the drive, and terran mech strategies develop in the future, i would definitely switch to terran. Mech play is my favorite to watch in BW/SC2

Protoss, cause :
- They have the more epic quotes of all SC universe.
- The zealot will gladly die for me
- Zeratul is amazing
- DT are amazing
- I love Imba race.

Anyone else notice that Zergs are the most outward about their race choice? To help emphasize that point..


I've played Zerg since 1999, because I love speed (played competitive Tribes), and they were the most mobile race in SC1.

In BW I chose Zerg because I felt that the awesomeness of zerglings and overlords for scouting was indispensible.

Now I play Zerg because I played Zerg in BW.

Picked Zerg, because it was the only race i really enjoyed in SC1.

Stuck with it because i love the map control and scouting ability of the units.

I've been doing it for over a decade... Figured why switch? :-)

Actually, now that I think about it, I played random for a while in my early SC1 days, back before Blizzard made BGH "by popular demand..." and there were a million custom-made copies of it. But I'm pretty sure I've been terran since BW came out.

Protoss have lotsa spells- i love spells. Terran has lotsa harassing options- i love harassing. If I had time I'd play more Zerg because I like bugs and mutas and defilers kick butt, but rl takes time.

I play protoss primarily because I like their unit philosophy, quality over quantity. Secondly because when I first played vanilla starcraft I was 8 or 9 years old and had no idea how to macro... frickin campaign protoss were unkillable with my 1 control group army.

Watching streams i want to switch race every game i see. All the time I'm like "Ohhh thats awesome!, wish i was Race X". But unfortunatly i am completely clueless about zergs, which is a shame because I think they definitely have some fun mechanics.

I play Protoss currently, during beta and launch i played Terran because it seemed most accessible and during the campaign i got to know Terran a bit. I made the swap to Protoss mainly because i think warping in units and blink stalkers are awesome

At first I decided "I want to be like TLO and play random!" but after a little bit of that I found that I always was hoping I'd get zerg cause I liked zerg but I relized after making a switch to them that I didnt like them that much they didnt have the options to do some kewl stuff and It always broke my heart to watch mech and thought " I will never be able to do that because of I play zerg". I switched to terran after seeing a game of mech vs Z, found terran extremly fun withkewl options like drops, mech style of play, ect. So I decided to play terran.

but if you really cant choose between the two then dont, just play them both whenever you feel like it. If you dont like that idea I would say go one-two days of only playing that race alot and then switch to the other race, then decide which one was better.

I played Toss back in BW 10 years ago now ( ). Quit playing for years. SC2 came out and my cousin bought it right away. I wasn't too into it at first. My cousin played Zerg because that's what he played during BW. And the more I watched him play with Zerg, the more I started to like the game. So I got the game and went Zerg, too....

....Then he realized how UP Zerg was (this was vanilla SC2, pre-patch 1.1) and switched to Toss. Me, I couldn't leave the Swarm. Stuck with them since September. I can play a decent Terran. But my Protoss skills are horrible.

Terran quotes: "Hell, it's about time" ..okay, sorta badass.

Zerg quotes: kekekekkekekekekkee...alright. cute.

Protoss quotes: "My brethren, hear me, for there is little time left. All that remains of our race, our civilization, are those that stand beside you now. Trust in each other. Strike as one will. Let our last stand burn a memory so bright we will be remembered forever. En taro Tassadar!"...Epic.

In BW i played a real crappy zerg (ling or hydra all-in and cheesed every game).
In SC2 i started in the beta as terran, but then I noticed that 3:4 people on my friends list was terran also, so I decided to go protoss.

Also cuz my favorite players in BW also included (P)Nal_rA, (P)Kingdom, (P)Bisu, (P)Stork, (P)free...see a trend?

i played zerg in beta, but after playing around with forcefield, i switched to toss for launch. probably a good choice for me, but i still offrace zerg occasionally. im only high diamond with zerg, but master toss.

Protoss because it was the first race that my cousin taught me. Then, I practised it so much and found that if she had not bring this race to me, I'd pick it by myself as well because my life is destined for AIUR!

I play Protoss, because let's face it... They're freaking awesome!

And also, they're the good guys

I dislike the warp-gate and larva mechanics plus ZvZ and PvP aren't nearly as entertaining as TvT is.

I looked at all the races to see which one had the coolest looking units (In my opinion).

So I chose Terran. Was more my style (going completely off looks here)
