I had the same problem. I played until I hit diamond then switched to terran since that was my best race. Never regret it to this day. that and you get a feel for the other races and their timings and styles. really helps fighting them | ||

Unless his name is BitByBit.Prime ill see if i can get ahold of it, doesnt seem the replay pack for the tournament doesnt go that far back in the tournament, which i guess makes sense since its a 2k player tournament. for sure it was steven bonnell vs deepfield1 shakuras plateau round of 256 | ||

after some games you will see which race you really like and perhabs random will be your "main race" | ||

Back in the SC2 beta I used to play random, which is something I also did in WC3. Random is fun, diverse, you get all the good stuff from all the 3 races. However in 1on1 I figured, I have to pick a race if I want to improve. Right now in terms of 1v1 I am jack of all trades, but a master of none. In 2on2s I play random, I am diamond there and it is all good since it is 2on2. But 1v1? Hell, I have to choose a race. Unfortunately: I can't, so I'd like to have advice. Pick your race for any reason. If you like the golden, elegant look of Protoss, pick Toss. If you like the raw metal and heavy tanks, play Terran. If you cannot resist the slimy, organic, vile Zerg appereance, choose the Swarm. I played for the horde in WC2 and 3 but picked zerg in SC1 and 2. Because of the organic, natural appereance.

In Low-mid level, you normally need higher APM with zerg compared to T or P. But look the other way: With zerg you often can improve your play just with faster clicking and more efficient hotkey use and better multitasking and macro. You don't need a new, fancy strategy right away.On January 17 2011 08:28 Iamyournoob wrote: 2. Zerg is not as cool as Protoss. Watch the FruitDealer games of GSL Open Season 1. A lot of ultralisks, roflstomping anything in their way, is kinda cool. | ||

You need to be a glutton for punishment though.

Lol, you are talking about the last match Destiny had before TT1, it was quite sick. | ||

All these thoughts are individual and playing every race will make you learn what you like and dislike from a race, even if you would go pro it will take a long time and playing every race in the beginning would make it easier to say "hey I like this alot" and you keep on playing that race. | ||

 Was protoss in beta, played terran when the game came out. after about 250 wins with terrans i switched to zerg. Now with about 200 wins as Zerg i'm about ready to switch back to protoss, starting to really hate ZvP hehe. | ||

But I have never understood what's fun with Zerg because of so many reasons. As zerg, you have banelings. Zerg is the "evil" race, this is part of the fun. You build mean insectoids and disgusting roaches. As zerg, you have the mobility. Speedlings and mutas can travel very fast. You can own the map without needing a lot of units. As zerg, you have queens. Queens make me feel safe. I can deflect harass, even air harass, I can heal both units and structures (and even other queens!) I can spread the infestation and of course I can inject larvae to build even more hideous monstrosities. As zerg, your "static" defense can walk around and root elsewhere on creep. As zerg, I always feel that there is a lot to improve in my play. This is may be the most important thing on the long term. | ||
