There are a mix of new players in SC2 from all different gaming histories, which is truly great. People are excited, even those without beta keys. Whatever situation you're in, if you are having trouble picking a race, this is the guide for you. Just find which of the following descriptions matches you the best, and you'll be all set. Thanks to gospelwut for making the pictures.
Zerg
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/UYcpJ.gif)
People like to say that Zerg needs the most multitasking, and that it's the best race for people from BW who already have great macro. Zerg players like to button mash 'SDDDDDDDDDDD' to build the drones right when the larva pops instead of just holding down 'D' to do the same thing. They'll tell you that holding down buttons turns you into a n00b, while button mashing turns you into Jaedong. BW players like to complain all the time, so it's no wonder that all they like to talk about is how mech is so imba, ultras suck, their race is the only one that needs skill, and they want to QQ IRL. Most of all, Z players like to talk about how their race should be more like it was in BW, even though most of them were not Z players in BW. They talk about hydras being slow, but will refuse to make creep tumors. Z players always either build roach+hydra, or muta+lings, with an occasional botched baneling strat. Even if they mass lings, they will never get the Adrenal upgrade, nor do they know what it does. Z never uses burrow except in the 1% of games that they get infestors to take out your worker line. And also, Z players will remind you that ultras suck and need blink + forehead lasers in order to be viable. Oh, and something about some roach nerf.
Terran
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/r2ybH.gif)
There are a lot of people coming from FPS games, so Terran is for the people that want to camp and pretend it's counterstrike: sniping stuff with long range units like tanks and vikings without lifting a finger. There are also a lot of former WoW players that are flocking to T. I find it a bit far fetched, but I heard that 100% of WoW players are fat little kids, so it makes sense that the Terran units are slow. Word on the street is that stim packs are made of capri-sun and gushers. Also, you can play mech with one hand while you hold your hotpocket in the other, so that's a big win. T players just gorge in their base until they run out of hotpockets, then they move their whole force 10 feet away to get to the next hotpocket expansion. But only one base at a time because they're not animals. If their base is under attack while pushing, they just continue to inch forward while lifting their whole base to an island. T players like to talk about how awesome nukes are, but they never use them. Instead they do standard bio, or standard mech, or both. Their complaints are mostly about void rays, because apparently having scan, floating barracks/factories, cloaking ghosts, hellions, and 50 mineral marines are not enough ways to scout. Some T players actually complain that bio isn't good enough against Z, because I guess they feel they need multiple ways to dominate TvZ.
Protoss
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/QoQLB.gif)
Then there's the people that come from "non-econ-centric" RTS games like WC3, DotA, and all those "other" games. These players don't know how to macro so they need an easy race that doesn't need to expand. They like small armies and lots of pretty fairy units with rainbows and glitter. P players like to micro, but they can't micro as well as BW players of course, so they need lots of spells to cast in order to fart sparkles, dance around with their glow sticks, and look at the pretty colors. P players complain that their race can't macro like Z, and can't defend like T. Most P players actually played a little of SC1, but didn't like it or were terribad. Still, they know what reavers were and wonder why Z now has the reavers, and all they got in exchange is a crappy tier 1.5 unit that makes ice cubes and has a smart version of dark swarm. P players only know how to either mass warpgates or sneak voidrays. If somehow the game lasts long enough, you're guaranteed to see both. Whenever a toss loses, it never has anything to do with macro or unit composition, it's always because they needed 8 more warpgates. If you see a P actually upgrade shields, you are required to GG and let him have the win. Make sure to screenshot that and send it in to blizzard.
Random
There are actually two types of random players. The first type only plays random to exploit early game cheese. I don't know who these random players are, I haven't seen many of them. Maybe they're those Street Fighter players I heard moved over or something. They probably only spam fireballs and dash-throw. Who knows.
The other type of random player is the complete opposite, they announce their race at the start because they just want a fair fight and will never cheese. Really what they're doing is reminding you that they're random and are playing with a handicap, so it doesn't look as bad when they lose. These players are either just indecisive noobs who haven't read this guide, or live streamers, but mostly they're both. They like to dress up and pretend to be both Day9 and TLO at the same time. But honestly we all do that once in a while, so I guess you can't blame them for that. I guess you should be nice to these people since they're trying to help others out by streaming. But really you should just 6 pool them.
So there you have it. By now you should know exactly what kind of player you are and what race you've been assigned. You can thank me later.
/s
:D
(PS -- If anyone didn't get it, this was just a joke. There is a bit of truth in z/p/t being the macro/micro/turtle races. But this is not how things really are or have to be. It's more how things have been stereotyped and exaggerated so far. It's like a caricature of how the general community sees itself. Some of it is true, some of it is untrue, and some of it is grossly unfair. You don't have to fit into any type, nor should you want to. Go out and 1 base as Z, hard macro as T, and skip that warpgate as P!)
|
LOL, you should have this on Blogs instead. Worth a laugh or two, especially at the random segment.
|
woah. i dunno what i just read. but it was comical at times 
|
This was pretty funny read :p
|
You make it sound like Protoss is the easiest race. lol.

well, in a sense it is the easiest race
|
haha, this gave me a good laugh. I was a little sad the Protoss section was a little smaller than the others, but it's all good. :D
|
So thats why I chose Zerg when I first started! I had thought it was because I was playing Zerg in BW, but now I see the light, thank you for this insightful post
|
Rofl, capri sun reference.
It irks me that more zergs don't get burrow, I guess it demonstrates how you can still win w/o it, but it would seem so helpful with keeping units alive if you could just *hide* them when they get low on health (in small encounters, where they don't just get 1shot by a volley of ranged units), so they could live to fight another day.

Sorry, was this ever in dispute?

freaking ultras with freaking lasers on their heads!
|
And flame war begins in...
3...
2...
1...
But in the mean time, yeah I buy most of that. As a former Terran, now Protoss, I agree that while I once was a fat hotpocket-eater, I have moved over to the world of pixie dust and glow sticks. Who doesn't like ice cubes, any way?
|
|
|
sooo true about nukes and burrow rofl
|
haha great post, thanks for the help
|
Crap.
As a Protoss player, I can't disagree with your assessment. 
|
OMFG THIS IS HILARIOUS
i just read zerg and srsly lol'd but now i'm done terran and i'm scared to read what you said about the protoss @@
Edit: LOL SPOT ON. (dota/wc3 player here rofl)
|
Get bent mate, glow sticks are ftw!!! xP
|
the one point ur missing about protoss. protoss is the manliest race

The community needs these kinds of things much more often.

its funny im terran and u nailed it.
also, u nailed pretty much the entire nub metagame as it stood prior to betadown, at least from my plat/gold perspective.
edit: *i dont play WoW, ever. ive played my friends like twice, ran a couple dungeons, thats it. WoW sucks.* (dont hate me for hatin WoW if u are a WoW addict plz ty)

I think based on your analysis you would never beat me in a game no matter what race you had me pick.

Nah, I think it's pretty random and does not capture the individual races at all.
|
LOL pinpointed my zerg 2v2 strategy. Mutaling or RoachHydra and a botched up baneling strat every now and again.
|
Would be a lot funnier if you had a clue about what you were talking
|
|
|
lol spot on!! im a zerg player who complained about mech all the time haha.
|
Missed one thing... Toss players covering up their closet homosexuality by constantly talking about manliness. Simultaneously they lust for the touch of Reach.

I read the OP and the comments so I know I should think this is funny, but just somehow I just don't. Maybe I'm getting old or something.
|
omfg how did you know us random players dress up as Day[9]? 0.0
hilarious all in all though and you capture the entire metagame right now

I don't think SC2 Protoss have learned manliness yet. Unless they were also SC1 Protoss.
And everyone lusts for the touch of Reach.

You weirdos with your Day[9]-suiting and your Day[9] conventions, dressing up as Day[9] and making overlord noises...
|
very epic lol
|
Hilarious.
But just for the record, I was doing SC2 Terran at the beginning of Beta... when they were considered easily the weakest race. I will assume that this will make me immune from any future criticism of my main race.

Greate Post!
but you forgot the fourth race.
The Trolls
User was banned for this post.
|
Lol I play toss cuz it's the easiest, and it requires less practice time and I don't want to become a fat sc2 kid
edit: u forgot the mapper race
|
If you see a P actually upgrade shields, you are required to GG and let him have the win.
So true.
|
haha thought this was gonna be a serious post, but that would be near impossible to make. well done
|
Haha love your quote killerplague. I was a wc3 player and i chose toss lol spot on spot on.
|
|
|
Thank you for the good laugh!
I want to look shiny and kewl while I get a win and yes I am a former WC3/DotA player... Figured out what race I play yet?
|
lol so hilarious!
Im mainly a Z player and ive got to say, that key pressing its getting me mad. D: BW style much better (just because im used to it)
when i wanna cheese, i play P
when i wanna show my friends how ridiculous T is, i play T
when i play for the lulz/2v2, i play Z
I like to go nukes with T, but because im so noob, i always get crushed lol
|
brilliant
everyone who is upset is just a case example, haha
|
I love it how you never see an Aussie hating on joke posts like this
|
That was pretty fucking epic props man

and you forgot to add the "omg roachs are 2 supply now, thanks for killing ma race blizzard" constant QQ

*checks what the Adrenal upgrade does* Ah, yeah, found it! --> Nothing!
lol'd at P players always complaining how their race is tougher/impossible to macro

I also agree there's A LOT of tactics and overall game improvement from burrow, and even when people research burrow it's not used enough. But also note that it costs something... Especially around early mid-game it's understandable if people can't find time for burrow, because for example they may need: more queens, overlord upgrades for drops etc.

I have seen the forest but did not see the trees. I have no excuse for that horrible horrible oversight.

lol this is pretty interesting way of describing the players of each race

I agree with everything but isn't it the Terran who has the smart version of dark swarm (PDD)?

This was a really good one! thanks for putting the effort into it, maybe not as spot-on as it could have been but still good!

Ultralisks also need to be able to jump and land on all ground units, instantly killing them, unless its a defiler (somehow it got into SC2). The defiler consumes it. GG ULTRA

Yea, but he must be referring to guardian shield because it reduces ranged damage.

well, terran pdd is tier3 and more expensive than guardian shield (which reduces ranged damage by 2)
also pdd is more efficient(reduces all projectile damage, 20 projectiles in total)
you can say both terran and zerg have a version of dark swarm
the point is that bw players want the game to be just like bw
i mean BW was great, i liked it alot, but i want something new and different
this is what the OP wanted to say i guess

mission successful

This is great- so funny and a great read.
|
Hahahah i play zerg and it fits me perfectly :D
|
Epic topic is really so epic my tears are crying.
The worst (or greatest ?) part is : there's so much quantity of truth in it, it can hurt you deeply.
|
Awesome read.
What a good start for a day. :p
|
LOL, 5/5. Now I know why I'm a T player! Hotpockets are fucking awesome yo. This post inspired me to make a Hot Pocket and start eating it. And then I read the making ice cubes thing, and promptly spit out a piece of hot pocket. Wow.
|
Sounds like I should be playing T. But I evolved and will stick to Zerg, sorry. :<
|
|
|
Heheh very nice reading
Gj
|
|
|
This is so accurate in so many ways haha. I dress up as day[9] too
|
Woow. Barnum effect in action.
|
I am a fat kid that played WoW so it is a good thing I am a Terran haha :D
|
haha hilarious post, good job. A lot of your points are sooo true!
|
Nice post!
I always wondered why I announce my race. You've really let me know myself better lol. gg.
|
I mostly saw this as a thread where you whine about alot.. But.. i guess it was for entertainal purposes Gj :D
|
|
|
|
|
Great post! Real good laugh
|
|
|
|
|
i play terran and come from wow ...
i'm not fat! >: (
|
well.. i am 100% Zerg! (and that's my race)
|
adrenaline glad is the most bullshit upgrade ever. zerglings should be happy to to get even hit enough times to make the upgrade a difference
adrenaline gave like +50% in bw and now 20 ~~ so bad
i like the description of toss and zerg alot, quite accurate :D
|
"But only one base at a time because they're not animals."
;D
|
OMG this is soooo funny :DD
Sticky please ^^
|
spamming fireballs and dash-throwing is epic win; too bad former is for SF4 and latter is for 3rd Strike.
|
I love it
|
Haha, this thread is awesome! I'm a protoss player and I'm in 100% agreement with what you wrote.
|
Lol is this post meant to be serious? anyway at least theres some truths in it lol
|
|
|
Wow... that is way damn funny man! Awesome post. Imma go practice my Zerg and be a Jaedong.

its more that zerglings are only good early game, after that too much stuff owns them, colossus and mass hellion counters them so badly that they aren't worth making late game. and this was awesome
|
This is why Protoss are OP. They have ice cubes to ruin Terran's hot pockets!
|
I play zerg and if only blizz would realise that ultras with forehead lasers are requiered to make Z balanced we would have a perfect game. Besides a real man can cry hence only real men play zerg.
seriously though...great article I lol'd several times :D

You only like the toss and zerg descriptions because you're a T player :D
Adrenal is 18.5% right now, not 20%, so that should give you even more reason to hate. But I'm pretty sure Adrenal was 15% when SC1 was released, so things change.
|
Laugh out loud funny - I like it
|
I have never played zerg in BW - 4 years of gaming.
But in sc2 beta, i have played 200 games as Zerg (platinum), 0 af the rest.
I just like to have a gazillion units.

Just because it was corrected doesn't mean it wasn't intentional. When you get a paper corrected in school, the professor is simply fixing something that isn't right/doesn't work.

I giggle as long as i read the OP. Nice read. At the begining I was not sure if it was serious but after i read all other race i knew it was just for kidding and laught about noob player who keep ask witch race pick

Well read, but suppose you're an MMORPG, DotA + WC3:TFT (legitimate ladder games) + SC1 player, then what?
|
I LOVE this thread!!! Lmao! Great post man. :D
|
OMG i lol'd, well done rkiga! Just read the haters, it proves your hit sharp and precise
|
|
|
LOL.. The terran part is hillarious and the protoss is the easiest is very true,
|
haha excellent -- zerg was spot on
|
hahaha its so true
loved the random description
|
Rofl. Too funny =D. This definitely explains my constant need to camp, and my urge to play 1base hotpocket terran
|
I play Protoss and Random for the exact reasons that you listed (I am a cheesy little DotA player). I lol'd so hard at how accurate your descriptions are.
God, I feel like a noob.
|
It's almost scary how well the protoss description fits me!

You make it sound like Protoss is the easiest race. lol. Sorry, was this ever in dispute?
No, not really. I don't see how P is the easiest race (in SC2). I find it 10x easier to play T/Z.

Also, you can play mech with one hand while you hold your hotpocket in the other, so that's a big win. T players just gorge in their base until they run out of hotpockets
Hahaha, I laughed hard.
|
Word on the street is that stim packs are made of capri-sun and gushers.
LOL. This made me fart sparkles. Lololololol.
|
One of the my favorite blogs :D
|
Hahaha. This was great.
Spot-on about Protoss btw. I like my units shiny, glittery and super special.
|
Nice thread! Enjoyed reading it...and it kinda makes sense ha ha.
|
haehe, funny as hell evry single race was spot on.
|
You got them all spot on, both for me and my friends...
I feel owned in some fashion

ohhhh thats when i was supposed to moveout...
I thought it was when you have 1 more hotpocket, that way you can eat the last one while killing teh zergz

WOW...This guy hates zerg users........Im a zerg user...Infact i am 100% zerg user, The zerg is the best race all around...You can chose to be the defender and out macro your opponent...OR you can be the game agressor And still out macro your opponent... The zerg is what sets the game tempo, players react to you and not the other way around, the other races builds are strictly to prevent you from doing what you want to do(or what their weakness prevent them from doing, which is take the map asap) and gives the zerg a weird "defender race" look...but that is not true, the zerg is the aggressor race, The other races just try to take advantage of the fact that it is a new game and they are allready at a disadvantage and want to expliot the fact that most zergs dont realize that they can Agressively play while macroing and take the map as well...
If your personality is total control of the map and the tempo of the game, the zerg is for you...
I cannot speak for protoss players or terran players...

read my post...and you will no longer be confused, i just told you that the zerg was the best....

i actually play toss only for 12+ years now

that explains why you completely missed my post, i cant expect a toss player to see everything, like us godlike zergys can
|
Hehe pretty funny read ;>
|
haha i had a good laugh with that one.
terran is definitely the easiest to eat and win at the same time.
|
Is it bad if he's completely right about me as toss? Not just the majority, but all of it? Are all protoss players bw terribads that play dota and like fairies?
|
The popularity of this thread is repulsive and gives me strange feelings about the TL community... not in a good way.
Maybe it's just beta withdrawal...
|
Mmmm. That post was delicious <3
|
Such hate in some of those descriptions.
|
LOL XD mad me laugh. Brightened my day ty OP.
On a side note <--- Fast expand toss
That is my favorite build :D
It took this article to remind me
zerg = macro
protoss = micro
terran = turtle
I loose so bad b/c I am such a macro heavy protoss player (even more now due to CPU restraints in SC2) maybe I should just give it up and learn zerg.
|
Got me! Second-type random player here
|
I think the second random player option sometimes applies to me... Not that I make excuses to others, but to myself! "Oh, I lost because I so rarely play rZvZ..." Hehe.
But to be honest, I really do like all the races for different reasons... The three are so different, but all so cool and fun. :/

I updated the OP in case people start to take this too seriously.
@red_hq:
Watch the GLHF.it interview with Huk. He basically says that he picked Protoss as a race and got a reputation as a 1-base all-in player because his comp used to suck too much to macro. His main goal was to end the game before hitting 100 food, or he'd auto-lose to video lag. So maybe you should be 1-basing with early pushes instead of macroing? Between (semi) walls at your choke, chronoboost, not having to consume a worker to make buildings, and cannons being versatile against ground/air, there's no shortage of potential for protoss to hard macro. Just keep a decent standing force and have 800 warpgates to make a full army the instant you need it (sounds a lot like a typical Z style). More and more we're seeing that all the races have cute little ways to harass/contain/map-control with an inferior army size. Sounds a lot more fun than 2 gate robo timing pushes 24/7, but playing aggressive P with timing pushes isn't bad.
|
rofl your Protoss segment is insulting to those of us who have been Protoss for so long. Maybe because there is like a small segment of truth somewhere in there. Got a good laugh out of it
|
Well this is awkward. The random, zerg, and protoss segment somewhat applies to me.
|
Enjoyed the OP quite a bit. Here's what came to mind while reading:

The really scary thing is how this pegs me perfectly. o_o

Lol funny post. I started playing as Zerg in BW but when I tried Protoss I was naturally better with them. But alas, Zerg will always be my favourite of them all.
|
Hey, hey, HEY!

|
