So I'm coming back to Starcraft, which means I'm bad at all 3 races (again).

So help me decide which to go? Zerg, Terran, or Brotoss. I think they all have really cool aspects.

If you could, state pros and cons of each, maybe convince me which one is the most fun/best

terran macro is easy to understand, hard to execute
zerg macro can be tough, but has huge reward
protoss is easy


zerg doesn't need much micro
protoss doesn't need much micro (except forcefields)
if terran doesn't micro, terran doesn't win


there is my unbiased description of each race. enjoy

just do terran and be done, you get to complain about everything and mass marines all day do a little drop/attack and then win because the opponent was to stupid to know you were killing his mineral line throughout that whole battle.

Edit: Watching MVP play you will always be inspired as terran.

That's the problem. They're all cool.

It sounded like you said protoss was easy mode. I have to admit about zerg though that they have tons of cool ****, but I feel like executing that stuff (queens injections all the time, creep spread, whatnot) is kinda dumb to do lol.
As far as protoss goes, they can seem boring at times, but so intense at others. I love blink stalkers. But PvP is downright GAY.

Terran's cool, but it seems to me everyone's doing marines even though the hots is coming up right? Hots looks like it's all about mech play. Mech play seems interesting to me I think. Having that huge army of tanks and stuff.
Can anybody get imGMuMad here? I'd like to hear from him on mech play and kinda some build orders for that kind of stuff. As much as I like marines and whatnot, I can't marine split for shit despite the many hours of training I did way back then.
