I actually want to be putting pressure on the opponent at all times, I feel as zerg sometimes I lack the ability to do so. Then I would say Terran (IMO). But also Zerg, (zerglings)... mostly referring to a game TLO vs some protoss player (I think it was in Europe VS Asia, where TLO continuously harassed the protoss player to death, with speedlings finding weak points and immobility).
NAH.
This was Nony vs TLO in the something lol.
:3
And Nony is american so def not Euro vs Asia.
Anyways, and well Nony pylon blocked so he did hatch at an expo close to nonys bse.

Terran - play this race if you are a red neck

Protoss - play this race if you are really smart and a total bad ass.
I'm proof of the toss one ^^ I got a rating of about 1000(started at about 500) at chess and I've only been playing officially for three years. Plus I'm great at tricking people into thinking I have my whole army being rallied to the enemy base when I have 2 more gates proxied somewhere rallied to the left/right of his choke getting ready to hit is base while he is out trying to kill me ^^. Also, I'm smart enough to know to proxy pylons everywhere to check for bases being taken and for drops coming towards my base. Protoss is for the cool and smart kids as well as the occasional bad ass!
Terran is a race for kids that have ADHD and are strong.
Zerg is a race for kids who want to invade their own world(whether it be Aiur, Earth, Mara Sara, or some weird world like bikini world, it will be invaded by the zerg!).

Because IdrA, every time he loses its because he lost the random coin flip rock paper scissors battle. OR its because the race he plays is totally underpowered and his opponents were using OP units.

It definitely just should come down to which race you're most comfortable playing as. Like in BW, I absolutely LOVED how the Zerg played and their overall style. But even though they were my favorite race to watch, my main race ended up being Terran (I still wasn't very good mind you, more the lesser of 3 evils).

Simple:
Terran - Most OP but still takes skill
Zerg - Not OP but skilless
Protoss - Not OP and takes skill
Wow, ¿really? I think Scissors is OP too, but takes too much skill to get those 2 fingers out in time to beat his stupid paper.
NevilleS and IdrA best answers ever.
BTW ¿the Idra? then you have no skill according to our dear friend orb, given you play Zerg...
WCH: Start playing random until you get happy for spawning as a certain race o bad for spawning as another one.

A lol... i couldn't read it because of the greater firewall of china >.<

I can't speak for other race users, but here are some reasons why i like Zerg:
1) easy production method
a) one unit producing structure for ALL units).
b) no having to check the progress of unit-producing-structures to queue up the next unit; u make and ur done.
c) one tech building and ur done (no special building for this unit or that (queen is an exception, but it doesn't really count)
- turning 14 larvae into all hydralisks is fun
- injecting larvae knowing that you will soon be able to queue up 14 larvae all into hydralisks is fun too.
2) "powering" drones and finding the line of when u can get away with more macro appeals to my efficiency-obsessed (aka "greedy" or "lured by potential massive macro") side
3) i love being able to produce tons of units at once, or surge, or quickly prepare in response.
i also prefer having to manage creep tumors and overlords over watching unit producing structures or chronoboosts (mules are easy enough)
yeah, i think zerg isn't as much of a micro/tactical race compared to the other two. it's all about surrounds, concaves and macros predominantly. But a "tactical" move i like to do is baneling drops on the workers, while distracting the opponent's focus with an army somewhere else. BOOM BOOM BOOM. sit back and macro + defense some more oh yeah
lets get some more sharing of specific reasons from your own perspective even if it's just for your one race, rather than making blanket caricature statements that will undoubtedly invoke disagreement, the word "biased" and the word "troll"

Terran:
- You constantly have to show others how manly you are. You would never risk to do anything unmanly. If your a women then you are attracted to men that are that way.
- You like those movies where someone has to build a team to solve a problem and every teammember gets his own scene to introduce him/her. There's the nerd, the sly, the muscular (but silent/dumb), the tough women, the technician etc.
- You think SC2 is about tactics.
Zerg:
- You think that you somehow must be "the bad guy", who is cynic/sarcastic all the time.
- You like movies with interesting antagonists. And your allways on their side.
- You think SC2 is about calculation.
Protoss
- You think that there is a 'truth', and that everyone should follow your lifestyle. If someone doesn't then he's 'wrong'.
- You like movies with moralistic undertones. But they have to fit your ideology.
- You think SC2 is about army compositions.
