    Thew in Random even though it's TECHNICALLY not a race. 
     
    Surprised I couldn't find this, so I made it myself.  Anyway, I somehow suspect GB to lean toward the Toss as a community, though I could be mistaken!

    Although I played the first SC online, I suck horribly and still playing unranked matches. However, 100% Zerg so far, cause I want to play the race that isn't featured in the single player at all, and the voice that says "not enough minerals" is cool. Nydus wyrms are awesome.

    Huge respect to anyone that uses random. You have to be a true master of the game to be even decent.

    Played Terran in the original - play them now. I also enjoy their 'answer for everything' approach.

    My life for Aiur! Protoss are my bread and butter. Back in Star Craft one I used to play Terren but a few years ago I switched to Protoss and liked them more. So for the beta of II I played as the Toss and continue to do so.

    Protoss! Their Dark Templars are invisible, use a giant scythe and can merge with another similar unit to create a ghostly being of energy (the Archon), completely bad ass.

    My most played race is Terrans and I'm best with them but I've been playing Zerg a lot lately and they're more fun.

    @Fragstoff:  Nope can't say i do have much exp with them. I never played sc I'm new to the game. Wasn't hating on it just doesn't suit my playstyle feel more comfortable with a Terran. 
     
    Probably cause i used to play a lot of AOE2 oddly the terrans remind me of that game.

    Terran, was my weakest race in StarCraft and I intend to correct that.
    After I get most of my Terran achievements on-line, I'll switch to Zerg.

    Protoss is by far my strongest race atm, due in no small part to Warp Gate technology. I've been experimenting a bit with Terran lately, as I played Toss in SC and BW and wouldn't mind a bit of a change of pace.

    If you play Random you deserve to get some kind of reward like that.

    Do you guys choose which race you want to "main" based on aesthetics or how they function?   
     
    I'm playing the original Starcraft's campaign right now and, if I ever get to buy Starcraft II, I could never see myself playing any race except for the Zerg.  They're just too awesome.

    Can anyone tell me an easy way to target those annoying invisible units that Protoss can make? I'm very new to the game.

    @SpikeSpiegel: Build vikings from your starport or use your orbital command centre to scan for them. If they're in your base then build missile turrets to reveal them. Those units are called High Templars and you want to scout out your opponents base to see if he's building the structure for them that way you can respond before he gets into your base.

    Vikings are the Terran air-to-air fighters that also have a assault "ground" mode so their not that useful for invisible units. You're thinking of Ravens, which are kind of (but not really) a replacement for the Science Vessel from SC1.
     
    High Templars are the slow moving units that cast Psyonic Storm, Dark Templars are the invisible fighter units. The Dark Shrine builds EXTREMELY slow, so if you scout it when it's half done or so you can have defenses set up way before his first DT even gets on the map.

    You gotta watch out though, as I've seen Toss players hide their DT shrines in some strange places.  Even Island exspantions. 
     
    And if they catch you with your Orbital command down, you can be screwed.

    I pretty much didn't play SC1 MP, so I went with Terran, since they were the ones I was most familiar with. 
     
    Unfortunately, after my placement games I got dropped into Gold (I played some people who were pretty terrible), and I've now lost my first two league matches. I feel like I'm sort of getting the hang of the game, but it's demoralising being placed in a situation where I know that I can't win, simply because everyone else will be far better than me.

    Don't allow yourself to feel that way.  You CAN win.  There's no reason to assume the other people in Gold aren't in there the same reason you are.

    Protoss, tried to start with Terran but really didn't like the feel of them at all. Really like protoss though.
