Well i didn't read the whole thread obviously but to answer the OP, when i see random i just 1 rax FE or gaz 13. Even if it's a zerg i just tell myself that he is random, no way i can lose in macro game.
Of course sometimes there are random players who tell their race, but you mainly find them in master league.

...Go on...
There are no purely random players on this planet who are as good as Stephano in ZvP. Not to mention, no random player would come remotely close to his MMR. There is pretty much no reason to debate what any top level zerg can or can't do because it's not a frequent (if at all) scenario that Stephano ladders as random.

And by "somewhat decent" you mean best in the world, which is basically what Stephano is, or close to it.
And when you're that good you can win without abusing your opponent's opening, you can win just by playing your own style.
Imagine that.

Definitely worth 38 pages of QQ. Implying NonY faces random in gm. Not at all. Nony gateway expands more often than not in his PvZs and yet he's GM. This completely throws a lot of the Toss QQ out the window. Adapt or die. No offense to Liquid`Nony or his opponents, but firstly they are not top tier, secondly his opponent tends to not abuse his opening (from what I've seen on his stream). the OP's opponents are better than mine? :o there is no way to abuse my opening. i have a safe, cover-all opening. trying to "abuse" it is a sure way to get a disadvantage. i've lost early game by getting outplayed. but there's never a zerg build that can automatically get an advantage against me when im playing my build just as well or better To give you an example, I went to your latest streaming session and found a PvZ on Cloud Kingdom. You went 2g expo with no probe scout, then you made a 7:00ish pushout with 2 sentries and 5 zealots and turned around upon seeing a spine crawler, then you proceeded to check for a third in the normal third location, then you went home and made 2 additional sentries (for a total of 6 now) and a robo at 7:51. Are you claiming this isnt abusable by a hatch hatch (2nd hatch hidden location) pool into ridiculously hardcore droning and muta-ling play, with just a single spine at his front at 7min?

Scout on 6. Unless you get really unlucky on a map like TDA, you'll know what race they are before it's time to commit to a Gateway/Forge/Nexus.
I always tell my race if the opponent asks.

I didn't know Stephano would be considered "somewhat decent". Makes me wonder who I can call "good". Also the thing about safe openings is that they are really hard to outright counter. You might be able to take risks and get ahead, but that's the nature of any opening. So how can you claim there is "no way they would be able to lose"? Why don't you explain how you would abuse the opening? That is unless you are claiming you don't know how to abuse it in an intelligent way.
Edit* You know the opening

When I see Random, I think Cheese, all in play, and no skill outside of those traits.
On a 4 player map, it is VERY hard to guess what race your opponent is, and prepare accordingly for the ensuing cheese, until you scout the race, and the cheese which is being prepared. On 2 player maps, the cheese is even more agressive - I sometimes will scout with my 7 probe to get the race proper, so I can take appropriate action immediately.
As such, I give Random players no ground or respect- I simply cannot be bothered to play against an opponent that cannot even decide what race he wants to be, and moreso they have no desire to learn the minute intricacies related to a specific race. I just leave the match, Random's are not worth my time whatsoever. They can have the points, it's their reward for being a waste of time.

Nony just won this thread. I don't know how people are still arguing about this. The people hating on random players will not listen to any argument, regardless of how good it is.

No, that was not a good example of abuse. Hiding a base and crossing your fingers hoping it works out is not a good way to abuse any build; you're trying to exploit a solid build by doing something really exploitable. Taking a risk and being greedy like that can pay off, but if it's unwarranted then it just ends up being a bad play, even if it does last long enough to pay off. And FFE having a better worst case scenario than gateway expands is highly debateable.

"they choose to play random, it shouldn't affect me or how I play"
If they chose any race, it would affect you and how you play. It sounds to me that you're just upset that you can't take short cuts. If you're so concerned with being able to predict your opponents opener so that you can feel safe, you need to send out an early scout against a random player. It's as simple as that.

As far as your stating that all openings can be abused, I agree, it's just that FFE has a better worst case scenario. No, that was not a good example of abuse. Hiding a base and crossing your fingers hoping it works out is not a good way to abuse any build; you're trying to exploit a solid build by doing something really exploitable. Taking a risk and being greedy like that can pay off, but if it's unwarranted then it just ends up being a bad play, even if it does last long enough to pay off. And FFE having a better worst case scenario than gateway expands is highly debateable. That's why we see so many top Korean Protosses rely on gateway expands as their reliable build and only FFE when they want to "metagame"?
