I'd say terran is probably the hardest race to play really really well at the highest level though, since it seems terran just has the most shit to do after midgame. The hardest race at lower levels is probably zerg, simply because the decision making under pressure as zerg is a bitch to get a grip on | ||

As a Zerg specialist i want to emphasize that learning Zerg is extremely difficult, but there'll be a point when you can hold off almost every cheese. Then you make a huge jump, because in most low leagues players can't really do much, apart from cheesing and as Zerg you've got the macro aspect of the game in your blood. | ||

I'm a zerg main, and after losing to tons of protoss on ladder, I queued up as protoss for a match and stomped a protoss who had played 600 ladder games this season in a 25 minute game. I then wrecked a zerg ez. Zerg is by far the hardest race at all levels. I play mostly Protoss but I have smashed people in ZvP and TvP (also won ZvZ and TvZ but not ZvT vs good players) that are ranked similarly to myself. Guess what that proves? The things I tried worked! Guess what it doesn't prove: anything else! | ||

Speaking as a former random player, I believe that Terran has the highest skill ceiling and need for sound strategic decision making at a high level, so I voted for T. Especially if you take mirrors into account >< Yeah but those strategies could be OP :D | ||

Guess what that proves? The things I tried worked! Guess what it doesn't prove: anything else! I agree. I've beaten a top 8 masters offracing as zerg with a roach baneling bust, that must mean zerg is easy peezy. /sarcasm It's always Protoss players that say Terran is easiest to play when offracing. I find that really funny since I've beaten a Protoss offracing as Terran with me offracing as Protoss (and i didn't even know what I was doing, I just made collosus and blink stalkers most of the games) Beat him 4 games in a row and he blocked me after I won the 4th game (2 base carrier rush vs mass maruader) T.T. Those games don't prove anything. I did the dumbest strats and they worked, but against competent Terrans, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have worked. | ||

For diamond and masters I would say terran is the hardest based on my own experiments but again it depends on how you play the game and your personal weaknesses. At the highest level we all know Protoss isnt doing so well in Korea. Dont really know the statistics for all GM and pro players so I'll go with that. | ||

on the highest level, every race is pretty much equally hard to master. | ||
