I always preferred Protoss. Auto-recharging shields, Carriers, Zealots and Archons were awesome.

Also the artwork for their units and buildings always looked really nice. :thumbsup:

They own everything unless they are outnumbered 3 to 1.

Mass Carrier = Instant Win

Protoss Own

Meh, mass carriers are not that great air to air - I'd take a fleet of BCs over a fleet of Carriers.

Protoss because I love air :).

I usually mass carriers to take out vehicles and inf, while my friend does Terran and gives me air-to-air support.

Zerg, because theyre easy to play, and their units are easily/quickly replaced, i can nydus an enemy zerg (i play 3v3 money maps due to them being more fun) and since im fast i can usually cripple the enemy so badly that they have no chance whilest i wipe out my allies, leaving me as the only surviver in a 6 player game :) its great fun.

Protoss FTW! Fewer Units to manange. Nice that the Toss finally have a nice defense against the zergling rush and Siege Tank. I had ~150 zerglings come knocking once. Fortunately, I was simultaneously attacking my opponent's hive from another angle, and caused enough damage to make him recall a good portion. Still ended up losing the game from it though :(

Now if I'm playing against Terran, well, most of the time my opponent never survives long enough to build Siege Tanks :)

terrans - marines, bunkers, siege tanks, nukes, and BC's. sadly, i suck terribly when playing a real map with limited resources

Terrans, mainly for base defense and Battle Cruisers.

Plus I think they had the best base unit(marine) because it was ranged and could kill air.

I probably was best with Protoss, but I enjoyed Terrans the most because of their base design. I could wall in my base with buildings and have bunkers/siege tankers blasting anything that came near me. Not to mention the thrill of a huge group of siege tanks launching destruction on an enemy base.

I always played on all random, I was equally good at all races at my peak. Haven't played SC in 2 years though.

zerg. if you know how to use dark swarm correctly, nothing can stop you.
