Edit : The wonderful part about playing random ...just to give some examples.
If I encounter a Protoss opponent, I will be very sure that he will never FFE.
If I encounter a Terran opponent, I will be very sure that he will never do any 2 rax cheeses before scouting me and he will always open rax into refinery.
If I encounter a Zerg opponent, I will be quite sure that he will open speedling expand.

Sorry for derailing, but..

Back to the topic, most of the discussion has been revolving around ladder play. Another aspect will be on tournament play, using random or race picking are sometimes disallowed depending on the tournament.

I'm not familiar with major tournaments rules on this, the only random player I know in the GSL is

who played as Terran and Random for many months in 2011 before changing back to Protoss in the GSL October preliminaries.

I'm discerning a pattern here, Randoms end up as Protoss, which means?
Anyone familiar with top players or major tournaments regarding ?
