Zerg because...

-somehow, winning feels a lot more gratifying when playing Zerg.
-Zerglings are frickin' fast. And sneaky.
-successful Muta harrass feels so nice.
-nobody cares about individuals. Die for the swarm, minions!
-I really suck at spellcasting.
-spreading creep is just fun.
-watching the graph after the game and seeing how your small army killed his big army is just awesome.
-Banelings, baby.

Played it in BW.

Offrace occasionally, but haven't found the others attractive enough to change yet.

At first the concept of zerg seemed very fun, i then decided to switch to terran and protoss and try them out and it was so boring that I switched back to zerg. Zerg is so fun to play your always doing something different, be it creepin, harasing, expanding, etc. Protoss is same thing (expand when collusi out, max, push) same as terran in a way =D
PM me for coaching. I'm a mid masters zerg player.

thought protoss had the biggest units so it would be closest to warcraft3

I play Terran. Although I like those cute zerg units, my macro sucks when I play zerg, and toss units are slow. So I decided to stick with Terran. Marines with stim are much easier to micro.
We are dusts in the vast cosmic arena. Need to make the most out of life when we still have it.

I started with terran because I played through the single player first, but switched to toss after a few weeks because it's what I played in BroodWar. If I could go back in time, knowing what I know now about toss, I'd have gone zerg instead of specializing in a race that's boring as hell and contantly being nerfed (but I won't go into an imba argument here).

IMO terran is a cop out race. Remember that sceenshot of Idra demanding that his opponent apologize for playing as protoss because he thought winning with them is not winning with skill? That's how I feel about terran now.



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
Im the Best..

I play Zerg because I am a macro based player. My strengths are in my apm (from my keyboard hand) and my rhythm. Rhythm is very important for a Zerg player's macro with spawn larva and all that. My weakness is my mouse hand accuracy/apm, so I have trouble with microing individual units while macroing sometimes. This is much more important for Protoss and Terran. Overall I chose Zerg because it just fit my style best and I felt the most comfortable with it.

I play toss because thats what i played in BW.

I like zerg and have concidered switching, but it would be too much effort.

As for Terran, i has self respect

Because I'm stuck with it.

I started playing Terran in BW because they were considered the hardest race, mechanically, to play. Before I started playing, I figured I'd choose the hardest race to play because if I'm good as the hardest race to play I've got to be good right?

So I figured I'd stick with the same race in SC2. Makes sense, right? Stick with what you know?

The problem is, I'm kind of bored as Terran and Zerg actually fit my playstyle a lot more. I've always been a macro player; all-ins and cheese were never my thing.

So, I'd love to switch races to Zerg but the amount of time it'd take to relearn everything and get back up to my current standards is, I figure, not worth it. Much better to just stick with what I know and perfect it.

tl;dr - Chose Terran because I played them in BW. Want to switch but it's a bit too late for that.

I originally played terran in SC1 because of, you guessed it, Boxer. But then I saw Bisu at his best and switched to Protoss. This carried on to SC2 and here I am as a Brotoss today. Thanks Kim Taek Yong!

Zerg. Watching a group of banelings obliterate a Terran army makes me all warm and fuzzy inside<3

Played Zerg primarily in BW, always liked the mobility of zerg armies...I also always felt the skill cap on zerg had unlimited potential...toss and terrans more linear gameplay to me feels like they are easier to learn, and while still difficult to master, no where near the challenge zerg presents.

Additionally Zerg though extremely linear in their opening options that aren't all in...are very very diverse in their late game options, tech swapping around to gain every possible advantage on your opponent.

Because I prefer Terran style in SC2 over SC2 Zerg even though I played SC1 Zerg. Terran just flows better for me.

After a hard day's work there isn't anything more satisfying than see a marine plattoon melting in green shiny acid explosion just after an encounter of the 3rd kind with some cute rolling banelings (they just want a hug).

That puts a smile in face everytime. ^^
