Why do you play the race you play?

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.

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 also hate terran with a passion which is why I take great pleasure at destroying them with an invincible deathball or warp storming their mineral line.

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

I played Protoss in BroodWar, because I Really loved the Zealot. I play them in SC2 because I played them in BW, and have found no reason to switch so far--though I have thought about trying Zerg a few times, because they seem fun.

All the cool kids play terran... avilo is the one exception

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.

I play Zerg because it is the weakest race, therefore even if I lose I'm still better than my opponent because they only beat me due to exploiting imbalance.

So I can whine about balance and pretend I'm a superior human being.

I played Protoss back in BW. I want to play Terran but dont have the effort to learn the race.

But Zerg is imbalanced! The first 3 GSLs were won by Zergs!
Just kidding

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

I fell in love with the aggressive style, costant harass and crazy production off 8 rax on 2 base etc.etc. and started playing T.

I play the race I play because I was too stupid or arrogant to foresee the inevitable stupidity it is to play this race. I failed to see that I must respond flawlessly to my opponents play while it is mind-numbingly simple for them to completely hide what their plan actually is from every scouting means available. I didn't realize that literally every single mirror would be an endless stream of all ins, such that whoever stops going all in first and stupidly decides to make drones or expands is usually the player to lose. Half the maps it's still near impossible to defend a 4gate because spines are not possible and there is absolutely no other T1 cure to endless stalker kiting. Let's not forget that the unit that is supposed to counter the last matchups core unit is in fact inexplicably reverse-countered in 90% of games.

Don't mind me, I've just spend the last three days dropping ladder points and I'm desperately waiting for the ladder to finally reset so I don't have to lose for a week while learning a new race.

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.
