I finally managed to beat DJEtterStyle/Fuck Etter/Etter for the second time ever so I can officially say that the first time wasn't a fluke, but I think it's mainly because protoss is so easy. I prefer playing PvZ because I can 1a2a(sometimes 3a) more liberally, just put down storms when necessary, and not worry about stupid back-breaking micro tricks like running zealots through minefields or getting my goons stuck while trying to snipe tanks.
Now, I'm not saying I'm a great player or anything. Frankly, I'm terrible. Probably D+, if I was being generous. But shit even I can beat a player much higher level than I am simply by surviving to psi storm and enough high templars.
Here I will highlight some key moments of that second victory (basically the only moments I had to think about the game at hand, because playing protoss means I can turn off my brain for most of the game).
12:04: lol I win
15:43: omg wait I think I'm going to lose my third. I hope I made high templars
16:10: Whew I did! Now time to crush this puny zerg army post-3rd-expo-loss
16:14: wtf he still has units?
16:17: lolol
17:58: omg ultras panic mode on
18:01: 1a2a storm!
18:03: Whew.
18:42: I think countering his nat immediately and losing the rest of my army was a bad move... but at least I get to storm these drones!
22:14: omg
24:14: God, storm drops are so gay.
Then I 1a2a'ed a few more times and magically Etter tapped out. I hope this victory serves as a beacon of hope to all those struggling D-/D/D+ level PvZ specialists out there. Remember that protoss is OP (everyone on TL says so!), so turn up your confidence and 1a2a3a!
-------------------
In all seriousness I was pretty happy when I beat Etter the second time ever and I wanted to share some screencaps of that awkwardly close game, which I honestly felt was tipped towards my favor thanks to Etter fucking up with his opening build and some decent storms on my part. Besides, storm is OP and thus so is protoss... everyone on TL says so. @_@ I hope some could get that feeling of satisfaction of storming a big group of zerg units when they saw the screenshots above. :D

I still don't understand how protoss is so manly- when all they do is sit back and watch the light show fry all my little zergies to pulp.
IF YOU PLAY PROTOSS DIE!

Great storms!
haha but Storm is not OP and neither is Protoss. Every race has its good points and bad points. Zergs in ZvP can hit and run Toss expos with insane DPS cracklings and doom drops are really deadly & unpredictable. Terrans in TvP can really gay a Toss with imba vultures and insane ground army upgrades + damages that just melt away goons like ice cream.
When I play PvT, I tend to be macro-orientated than playing PvZ, BUT PvT battles require more micro than PvZ battles if that makes sense. I think this works because I tend to clash with Z units everywhere around the map while T has less frequent battles, but bigger battles.

Agreed, storm drops are the easiest, most imba tactic in the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARRGGGGHHHH

This is what mutas are for, pvz gets soo hard once you get to D+/C- and the zerg goes "oh wait if I get mutalisks I can kill the one thing holding him up: storms". D level pvz is so much fun because your templars never get threatened :D
And yeaahhhh protoss is manly,  Reach

I still dont understand how Zerg is so fragile-when all they do is 1a2a3a sit back under my storms and watch all there units fry to a pulp and then complain about it.
IF YOU PLAY ZERG DIE!
and stop complaining about one of the actual race balances that go in your favor.

lol seriously fuck you.
I fucking HATE this. I will manage to crush an attack then all of a sudden he gets that one storm off that just kills 20 drone and the ENTIRE attack is given redemption based off of one templar.

Protoss is manly because even when they storm the crap out of your units they run manlots right into the storm to attack anyway.

It's common knowledge that Protoss is the most forgiving and overall the race that requires the least micro / macro skills.
As I see it. Protoss, not OP but easy.

Isnt terran the most forgiving since their ability to turtle and survive allows them more opportunities to come back from bad situations? when toss lose their casters (HT in PvZ and arbs in PvT) its auto-gg for the most part

Clinging onto life by turtling only lets the P take more expansions and starve you even farther.

yeah, protoss have the least starleague wins of all the races, they're obviously the easiest race to play.

OP says PvZ is easy.
hmm....
