I personally chose Protoss way back in Starcraft cause I was like "Wow, protoss are friggen badass. I'm gonna be them and just look awesome." I had no gameplay knowledge, no way of knowing if I liked defensive play or anything. I simply liked Protoss, and tried to learn them, and they've stuck with me. | ||

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. Best post in this thread so far. I feel you got me with the zerg one... | ||

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!). 1000 Elo is like scholastic level in the chess world. | ||

You're trippin'! And Protoss should be warping units in right on the damn battlefield, or very close to it. Keep a probe with your army? EDIT: Warp prism maybe? Seem very handy, shuttle + warp in. | ||

(tone of cheeses, allins and the option to turtle into win) 2.) If you are versatile and attracted to powerful things go for P (cheeses and allins are viable but standard play is just as good, overall robust units, you can outexpand your opp or beat him with other methods) 3.) If you are a more straight forward type who relies on skill and outclassin the opponent go for Z (less cheeses and allins, more fragile at many points, requires solid mechanics) Imo ^^ As you could guess i'm a Z | ||

 One thing though, I'm a random player, and I don't think it's so much a matter of personality as it is a matter of mood. When I'm sitting down for a good game and my mind is open and at a state of sort of, full-awareness, for lack of a betterway to describe it (e.g., had a good night's sleep, had my coffee, drove to my office and a nice story was played on NPR on the way, and life is simply, peachy), I play random and tend to do well. If I play one race too many times in a row, whether I'm winning or not, I get bored really fast. Other times, when I'm not in my typical euphoric-random state, I just pick whatever suits my mood. If I'm angry and need to vent my frustration, I usually play terran due to the harrasment potential. If I feel like I am the smartest person in the world and all the rest of humanity whimper and grovel beneath my awesomeness, I'll play protoss, due to there strength in few numbers. If I'm paranoid that I might lose and need to control the map and react to whatever the opponent has in store for me, quickly, I'll play zerg, due to their quick tech switching and fast xpo. And although I like all three, for whatever reason I like zerg the best, though I choose random the most.  *Edit: Perhaps I like zerg because of their nydus worm and my Dune fetish, though I must say this worm is what makes them the most mobile as well, imo, especially if you have several exits scattered about* Personally, I think random has it's own strategic advantage, in that it throws the opponent off on their early build order, since they don't know what to expect, and once they scout you, they tend to underestimate you. I have about 2-3 strategies I tend to play for each of the 3 races, and then the rest is all planning counters and reacting to what the opponent is doing, while keeping as much map control and sight out there as possible. | ||

It applies for SC2. Just because the game is easy doesn't automaticly makes you the best player at it. It can be related to dart. Its easy to learn to throw the arrow and hit the board but pro players will of course beat you because they have developted and sharpened their tactics of how to make the best out of one throw. | ||

If you want to be looking at some cool animations with shiny stuff and a race of Jedi go for Protoss. If you like the alien eroticism of Zerg buildings pulsating and erupting in, the erratic but relentless spread of creep, pooping of creep tumors, and throbbing in general, go for Zerg. | ||
