I like the Zerg becasue

*easy building

*cheap production

*massive waves of zerg are hard to stop

*no brain required

Terrans are obviously the best, but I prefer to play Protoss.

Well, it seems to me that the Terrans have the most versitle cheap units, the mighty Protoss have strong single units, and the Zergs are kind of fun with trillions of little Zerggies to do your bidding. I usually play as the Terrans because you can reuse Command Centers for gathering resources. I am a fan of do-everything-but-poorly units, so I build more than necesary amounts of Goliaths. I am just strange.

This question is kind of like asking which Strand is the best in EVO ... I personally prefer the Terrans because they're more versatile, a happy medium between the maniacal building of individually weak units (the Zerg) and the ponderous construction of huge Death Stars (the Protoss).

My favorite is definitely the Zerg. I have recently switched my strategies to mass zerglings and hydralisks - I just came off battle.net having beaten Ned.K666[scum], the best player in my clan, with a 16-overlord zergling-hydralisk drop

What I lack in enthusiasm I make up for in laziness.

Well, I have to say, my favorite, when it comes to playing, are the protoss. The whole playing style they require is just up right my lane.

Terrans are by far the most adaptable race (kudos to Blizzard for utilizing this so well) becuase they can move and relocate a base... for terrans it IS entirely possible to start over and actually manage if their original base is invaded and overrun, their tenacity and staying alive is amazing. Being able to repair bunrs, vehicles, units, etc, is really tremendously usefull.
Frankly, when I'm playing against a computer or human, I fear terrans by far the most. Their siege tanks are arguably one of the best units in the game, and who hasn't learned to fear ghosts?

However, Zerg are lethal early on. That's when they are best... and, later, if they manage to catch you at the transition point between air and ground with Guardians and scourge... a VERY nasty combo.

But, once the war machines get rolling... protoss units just plain shred through zerg like mulch.

In reality, all the races are very well balanced. In general, I find zerg to be the easiest to beat, but some players are fantastic with them... Deadboy is one such, actually, he wiped me off the face of the map the one time we played.. although I DID nearly beat him off.

Anyways, I fancy Protoss myself. High Templar and Speedlots kill anything. The most annoying race to be against is Terran, especially when it's a good terran player (had a bad experience with that today, the bastard took over the whole ****ing map. Oh, and he was ranked #3 on the ladder ). Zerg also rock, even if they are hard to use properly...

My favourite style of playing is taking a few tanks and mass upgraded stimmed Marines+Medics to the party. If they seem to be going carriers/BC, I take some ghosts along...

Well it all depends if your playing online or not. Offline Terran, online Toss and Zerg. Brodwars too.

There is no "best race"... each race has an advantage over one other race, and thus the cycle continues. Zerg over Protoss, Protoss over Terran, and Terran over Zerg. But, that really only applies to the godly players; for the most of us there is no real difference, it's merely based on skill.

If you think about it, much depends on the map and the person you're playing with.

For example: go ahead and try to play on Blood Bath with Terran against a Zerg player; I gaurantee you that the Terran versatility won't help you againt a Zergling rush.

Then again if you play Terran on a map such a Green Valleys, which is huge and has ledges, that same Terran versatility can win you the game. It all depends on terrain and opponents...

As for my personal favorite race, I like Protoss or Zerg - or, if given the chance, both

------------------
"You are, as Nietzsche would say, philosophizing with a hammer."

errm... actually, if you strategically place your barracks, supply depot, and bunker (which will be out before zergling rush comes) and take a second to support your marines with your SCV's against the first wave of zerglings, a Terran can easily outdo a zerg player in blood bath. It's all about how and where you build. Every second of stalling counts.

On BGH, I've beaten 3 7pools at once before. It's no real problem, get an early bunker and support with SCV's fighting and repairing. We won that game, too.

Actually, all races ARE equal, it's just that you should never let certain situations develop, for example, a Terran setting up shop outside a Zerg base is insanely difficult to budge, especially if he has science vessels.

I would actually be more annoyed by tanks with air support

That's because you suck. Tanks, Marines/Goliaths and sci vessels together are almost invincible.

Everything's vulnerable.... for example, a pack of zealots or dark templars would just butcher that configuration. The tanks would hit a few from far away, but when everything gets close, it's squishy Marine guts all over the place.
