Do you think players tha play certain races share common traits?

Everybody knows all protoss players are of superior intellect & skill, that's why protoss always gets unjustifiably nerfed every patch :P

Yes we are the coolest HIGH FIVE!

@Sahara: Looks like you're putting a cheese and an all-in strategy in the same pot. While a cheesy strategy can also be all-inish (and inversely), they are two seperate things.

It's true that a cheesy strat usually relies on hiding what you're doing though, but a cheese doesn't have to be decisive.

Of course there isn't an official definition that everyone can agree on, but I think the best way to describe cheese is "whatever is non-standard and involves an element of surprise in your tech".

People who delude themselves by saying that their losses aren't relevant because they lost to cheese are just kidding themselves though, and are missing the whole point of the game.

Cheese is a pejorative expression which refers to a strategy that is highly unconventional and designed to take one's opponent by surprise. In general, cheese is nearly impossible to defeat if it is not scouted but easy to defeat if it is scouted.

That's the deifnition. There is a definition, and that's it. it's agreed upon. You are mistaken.

Psh. There are just as much 'idiots' playing one race as there are in the others. Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.

Plus, could all you Protoss fanatics take the stick out your a$$ please? Also, Aldaris wants his ego back Gradius.

All in good fun of course.

Anyways, I don't think anything that you've said about races fits me. I don't pick one race or Random almost exclusively. I don't prefer one race to the others or Random to everything else. I don't have the same knowledge that other players have but that doesn't mean I'm stupid. Neither of the races suit me.

Aldaris is dead but his ego will live on in Gradius forever more.

[Sarov]

I think he got more than just his ego. He also got his arrogance, in regards to the Protoss.

I shall remain content to channel the angry side of Kerrigan. Although every time it creeps to the forefront of my thoughts, I tend beat it into submission and stuff it back where it belongs, in the "things you shouldn't be/do" corner. Although opinion varies on whether it belongs were it usually is.

Although I can easily understand why I'm so obsessed with the Zerg. I like power and control. I like being the absolute ruler/Queen. And obedience on behalf of my minions. I also love deadly, vicious things in general and am absolutely fascinated by the Zerg (and Tyranids). Although I will admit that Protoss lore is kick ass. Just, sometimes it's hard to choose between the noble side of me - the one that thinks Protoss are kick ass - and the angry, bloodthirsty side of me - the one that is absolutely obsessed with the Zerg.

Well, for me, I play as Zerg because I enjoy thinking of myself as: Master of all! Ruler of the field!

I find enjoyment in watching my opponents struggle under the sheer force of my army. I enjoy when they 'GG' because they can't take anymore. I am entertained when they try to grab an expansion, but can't since its covered in creep, and then they get swarmed. It entertains me when they run out of minerals and they're final push fails under Mutalisks, Hydralisks, and Zerglings.

Watching my opponents units burn in acid is funny. Watching them try to desperately run their workers away from my Zerglings is priceless. And watching an entire fleet of Battle Cruisers fall and burn is awesome.

Maybe the evil inside of me manifests itself when I play Zerg, or maybe thats just who I truly am. Either way, I play Zerg. I play Zerg and I love it.

I play Protoss in SC2 because I hate the Zerg macro, and hate Terran in general. Less humans plox.

Finally someone I can agree with and who isn't just saying the whole "Zerg are cool!" factor! I will admit that there is a big part of me that likes death, bloodshed, is bloodthirsty and laughs at all the marines dying by acid. The Zerg are creatures that were genetically engineered to be the perfect biological killing machines and that interests and appeals to me greatly. Even with real animals, all of the ones I've like are dangerous - tiger, panther etc. My urge to rip, tear and hurt is much higher than most people but that's generally because I'm an angry person at heart - for many reasons. It's hard to completely explain why I live the Zerg but those are the easiest reasons to speak of. It's.. ever since I heard about the Zerg, I've liked them. I used to always play Zerg in the original SC (including BW). The only reason I dislike Kerrigan is because she seems like a whiny child playing with toys.

But of course, that was speaking interests wise. Gameplay wise, I love Warp-in but I also love playing Zerg. I'm actually pretty good at playing Zerg but I'm just not entirely used to their play style. I am however proud to say that I remember to do SL everytime.
