I find it quite amusing that so many people consider playing vs Zerg as their worst/hardest mu. Metagame has changed quite a bit :p

Random (thus responding all race matchups)
high master
As terran: protoss.
As zerg: protoss
As protoss: zerg
APM 150-200 (130-150ish sc2apm, aka 170-210ish real)
SCBW: yes
>28h
outmacroing opponent
more ladder than custom
only play for fun, because I've come to conclusion there's no way to come at top as random, and game gets boring when picking race for me.

It's pretty easy to guess Z/P have hardest time with their counterparts, since vs T it's just map dependant issues. T is imba in close, and easier than Z/P in far pos. What I'm surprised is how terrans consider zerg harder than toss. I've heard this from few fellow GM players too who play terran. Maybe it's just me not getting tvp, since it's the only matchup out of 9 that is around 40%, all rest between 45-55%.

Also shows how majority of TLrs are pretty casual. Around 50% playing game less than hour per day, meaning it's not necessarily the most timeconsuming hobby for most.

I always felt that zerg was the least played race by far.
this really shatters my whole belief system

And another bump for some more votes.
Starcraft 2 is funny, everybody picks the race, which he considers to be the weakest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I personally like the question about the best way to win a match as it serves no real purpose in my opinion, heavily depending on the actual goal one might be driven by. If someone cares much about his/her position on the ladder, cheesing will be the answer; on the other hand, if someone wants to win tournaments and have some idea about what it takes to do so, the attention is paid elsewhere.

Anyway, PvZ seems to be in a state of eternal stalemate at the moment.

how do you have 150-200 APM and still in diamond? do you spam a lot?

he plays <4hrs a week and could just lose a lot to allins

edit: adding my post for answers
Protoss
hardest PvT earlygame (those allins >.<) PvZ mid/lategame
Masters
~280-360apm (depending on a few factors such as length of game and how much i have to micro)
I played SC:BW for years reaching C with P C- with Z and D+ with T (T was hard mechanically lol)
I train hard to improve
I love to outmacro my opponents and just crush them through having a greater army :D
I play around 16-20hrs a week (not enough time or energy to do more T_T)
mostly ladder but i do a few customs
I want to be the best most competetive player I can be, wether that leads me to being a pro/gm or just a high masters player or somewhere else, time will tell

Hell, this is a test of intelligence and I obviously failed! This is so difficult! I can work in quantum field theory, but no, I can't get this right...

So please, imagine on less click on "as a zerg -> terran", as I am definitely not a Zerg

For the Swarm.

Diamond Zerg, aiming for Masters when I have more time to contribute to my play and laddering.
You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game.

I love how when the question is for people who play a specific race, way more people vote than claimed a specific race in the initial poll.
