EPTI seem to have a problem as of late. I'm a Random player and no matter if I pick 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, or play vs the computer I always spawn as Terran. ~50 tries, 50 times Terran and going.. Is this some kind of bug that anyone else has experienced, too?
Random player, always spawn Terran. Bug?

I've played with a friend recently who every time we tried to do 4s it would put him as random (he picked toss every time). Closest thing I can think of. | ||

 Just kidding. I'd screen shot your data of random-rolling Terran every time and ask Blizzard what's up. | ||

@DarkPlasmaBall How do I retrieve information about that? In the replay folder it just shows me I spawned Terran but not that I picked Random. | ||

If you have the starter edition, and it only allows you to pick Terran, I'd assume that Random isn't even an option, right? (I have no experience playing the starter edition, so I have no idea.) | ||

I really don't know what's going on. @DarkPlasmaBall How do I retrieve information about that? In the replay folder it just shows me I spawned Terran but not that I picked Random. I honestly have no idea, because I rarely play as Random so I don't know if there is any Random icon or label that appears anywhere on the score screen after a game is played. I played as Random (in 2v2) a few days ago and I got each race though. One thing you can do in-game, from this point on, is screen shot your screen when you open the players/ races pull down tab (top right of screen?) so it says you're Random but the main screen shows you're Terran. Every game lol. Or you could just ask Blizzard first, because there's a good chance they've dealt with this in the past and you might not even need tons of "proof". Might just be a weird glitch that'll get phased out. + Show Spoiler + Did you try turning it off and on again? | ||

Got the starteredition bug the other day. Played 3v3 and it said everybody was random, I didnt even get to pick race and my allies were zerg but it looked like they were random too. I restarted the game after the first time and then the problem was gone. | ||
