yeah i completely forgot about this thread i made haha yeah i have mained toss for a while now but still like to play zerg is ther any zerg players out there willing too teach me a few thing (not coaching i have no money for such a thing)
I started playing Protoss as I got into SC2, went through bronze as protoss and it was all well and good. I still think my Protoss is okay. But back then I would get 3 raxed by Terran players alot and I HATED them.
So accepting defeat I decided to play random to get a feel for things. I discovered I was beating Terran's with Terran and losing to them as Protoss.. so i made the switch and all though it was hard to swallow as back then Terran copped too much shit - i've been a happy terran player ever since. Amazing race with amazing potential.
Play Terran if you have good hand-speed, enjoy the principle of heavy multi-tasking (dropping like a baus) and want to have a great deal of flexibility in all match-ups
Play Zerg if you enjoy a heavy macro-oriented style of play, constantly hitting your injects, laying creep tumours and swarming the map rather than doing marine splits or trying to hit pinpoint forcefields (and if you also like smashing shit with banelings)
Play Protoss if you enjoy the intensity that comes with focusing really hard on your control, like landing key forcefields, winning fights against 10000 roaches despite having 1/5th of the supply and matchups like PvP. Also play Protoss if you really enjoy the warp-in concept and the ability to do a variety of really powerful timings in PvT and PvZ (immortal busts, colossi timings, 6-7-8 gate, blink stalker etc) as well as the strength of late game Protoss (Archons, 3/3 chargelots, storm, colossi, mothership and so on)
Obviously there's a shitload about all three races that I don't understand but I think the way to make the decision is to think about what you enjoy specifically doing in Starcraft the most and then picking the race that best supports that
Go Protoss. If (or rather, when? xD) you become good, then that's one less zerg on this server.
Its the best race for cheese. It is (generally speaking) a more simplified macro race, but intense micro race. It is (generally) the strongest race in the latter parts of the game.
It has plenty of choice in how you open (pvz anyway).
It has invisible men that one-shot shit.
EDIT: Holy necro batman!
So OP, which race did you choose in the end? xP

Dooo dooo dodo!
It's up to you - the race you find more fun is the best choice for you, because you'll play it more and you'll get better faster.
If both are equally "fun", see which one fits the way you think more, imo zerg is more freeflow and you have more freedom which is why I picked it, whereas toss is more solid, where the builds are defined and made to hit at a specific time.
Toss is, in general, much easier to play than Zerg. (< jk)
...All jokes aside, my advice is to try out both races and stick to the one race that you think fits you the most.

I remember when I thought my biggest problem was "How the hell do I stop a 3rax???" Then I switched to Zerg and life became so much easier
WOW again Thread Necro this is over 2 months when i made up my mind and yet people are still commenting lol. But i will tell you on SEA i only Play toss as i love playing as them and they are the main Race im focusing on.But when i want Fun for shits and giggles i go play on NA server as any ra ce i feel like playing at the time and i think i can say that my zerg is still alright even though i havent played them 1v1 much but general things like injects and queen spine rushing with OP RANGE. is always alot of fun. anyway since the thread revival came i decided i would let you know my current mind set.
Whichever you have more fun with. Or you can just play both. Tons of people play random, so i don't think you have to choose one race over the other.
Also. Dude. Use periods.
Well, be more specific, what race do you feel more comfortable with? Who are your favorite players? What do you like to be like? Swarm? Or a more mechanical sense where your units HAVE to do something... If that makes sense, i.e. every unit counts, so don't lose them...
