I play Zerg because I love having vision of most of the map with my creep.
Needless to say, my creep spread is probably one of my best mechanics.

Protoss were really cool in Brood War and I liked the concepts of their technologies.
Therefore I play protoss However, all my favourite Broodwar players are zerg :/

Because I love how roaches look, sound, walk, die, and poke stuff. And the way queens puke out creep tumors.
Only reasons^.^ Who doesn't just LOVE the roach :D

I had started my RTS career from seeing a video of Starcraft II beta being casted by Husky and HD on Youtube. After watching the HDH and seeing IdrA use zergs mobility and creep spread, I never looked back. As soon as I got my copy after pre-ordering Starcraft II I jumped right into 1v1 ladder using Zerg. Was placed in Bronze and eventually worked my way up to diamond in September, following the release of Master League I was put into Master League. I am proud to say I have used the same race and "stuck to my guns" by using Zerg for their speed and mobility, as well as their never ending "stream of units." Zerg is the race to play, and I love to macro if you want a race to practice your mechanics and long term play, I suggest to anyone to give Zerg a try.
Practice and dedication reveals the greatness within a player

Guess you won't be doing the latter for very much longer *trollface*

I enjoy terran because:

1) Because I'm a human being and love to destroy all you turncoats who bat for the other team.
2) Because I enjoy hearing people rage about "terran OP" when they lose because I know what they're actually saying is "Why oh why are you so much better at this than I am! In my rage I will blame my incompetence on everything but myself!" JK ^^
3) Protoss units remind me of a bunch of pansy fairies floating about casting magic spells and zerg are just giant bugs. Steel, fire, and big guns are SO much more satisfying!

^^

Notice those reasons aren't gameplay related. You'll have the most fun and get the best with whatever race resounds with you the most.
I don't Micro, I FEMTO. That's 9 orders of magnitude more extreme.

I play Zerg because I am a masochist.


EDIT: Ok in all honesty I played all the races and for some reason the swarm keeps pulling me back in. I've actually tried to switch races but I just like playing zerg(atleast when I don't die to banshee, reaper, DT, 4gate, blueflame, 2rax)

I went through all races and I was just like you: I saw a cool play and wanted to change back to a respective race. But I then analyzed my games and I was doing the best by far with Terran. I played Terran in BW for a bit, so that helped too.

Since them, I stuck with the Ts.

toss because i like the warp gate mechanics and the fact that you warp in buildings rather than dedicating a worker to building it, also because protoss looks amazing in sc2.

I play T because I played T in BW. I chose T in BW because I started playing BW after watching the WCG 2005 documentary on tv in which xellos(T) was presented as the world's best player ;p

To me, Zerg has the coolest production mechanics, and I think they are the most APM and Multitasking intensive race, which I like.

I've played Protoss right from the start, even in brood war (although I hardly played), it was the race I automatically chose. I just feel comfortable with the play style and like the way the race plays, ive not tried the others as much as I should, but I always prefer toss

Picked up Brood War from a friend in 1999 and plalyed my first game on B.Net as Terran vs a random Protoss player. After watching my 10 marines get shredded by psi storm I knew that Protoss was the race for me and every since then all I play is Protoss.
And on top of that, If a galactic war broke out vs these 3 races I just think its more logical to be with the more highly advanced race.

I tried the different races but have finally stuck with terran b/c I hated the other two mirrors so much!
