Crap I accidently voted thinking the poll was "what is YOUR best and worst race" *face palm*. I would say terran, zerg, protoss in order of strength.

Terran--If nothing else, has many equally solid options, unlike the other races, eg mech/bio.
Zerg--May not show now, but they have great potential once player figured out timings and stuff, although it feels like terran has a much easier job keeping zerg in check than protoss.
Protoss--I don't see that jmuch of an improvement toss players can make. Nothing sticks out.

Despite everyone agreeing that terran is the most overpowered race, I doubt anyone would agree on what it is exactly that makes terran overpowered. Tanks is a common citation, except if you removed tanks from the game, hellion/thor/marauder would still dominate zerg pre-broodlords in straight up fights.

I think the real problem here is a lack of diversity from zerg, and a great deal of diversity from terran, that highlights the distinction between the two races.

In any case, I'd like to see this poll again after the results of KotB tourney are released. =)
Be versatile, know when to retreat, and carry a big gun.

protoss = awesome. they have DTs, VRs, Zealots, Blink and Charge, Storm, FFs, Probes (which i remember hearing are the best mining unit in the game), Warpgates, Immortals, and Colossi. AND Chrono Boost. no complains here

That's pretty much all this poll says.


Its actually impossible to assume this from the data.. unless the percentage of people who play each race is no where near each other and 70% of people play zerg

The reason I hate playing against a Terran is...
I always get my @ss wh00ped by those big fat tanks, even when I'm outnumbering them 3 to 1.

First off, i am a Zerg player

Imo Terran is the strongest Race by now. They can defend very cost effective and without any tricks needed in the beginning, this is a solid play for them and the only way to break it is a cheese, which can easily be countered by a good player. Early game is no chance in ZvT

Midgame Tanks counter all ground units, and Mutalisks can not always be used for harass since big Marine Balls or Thor defence are very common.

Lategame, a big Terran Ball just Steamrolls everything you can throw against it.

Winning in ZvT for me means: expand faster than him, and hope he sucks at denying my expos. His army is stronger than mine at any time until i can slip enough extra eco without him realizing it. so basically if the Terran plays a solid standard game and doesn't fuck up, i feel like there is nothing i can do ot break him.

Worst Race imo is Protoss, while Zerg suck against Terran, imo they are very favorable in ZvP, constant Z harass is easy earlygame and destroys most P cheeses. Midgame the P Ball isn't very frightening and as long as you evade getting stormed too much a corresponding Z Army almost always feels stronger to me. The only thing you have to be careful of are some unusual positioned collosi or well defended/early Void Rays.
Most Protoss players are bad at phoenix air to air micro and so they lose often against mutalisks which is an easy win.
Lategame is pretty even imo.
So in ZvP i feel like P needs either a cheese win which i can counter, or he needs to be far more skilled at playing than his Z Opponent

can't say much about TvP but i don't see why T's denial capabilities should be worse there, biggest problem is still early and T's ability to play passive and still come out on top
