Great video for explaining things for beginners. What I have learned in SC2 is following: Terran focus is on: Simple Macro , intensive micro. Protoss focus is on: moderate macro, moderate micro. Zerg focus is on: intensive macro, simple micro This is of course my opinion. Basicly pick what ever you think is coolest and play it a bit. You'll get the hang of it.
its simple, just play the campaign and see which race is more fun for you. for me personally is zerg.

I love Terran the most but Zerg is honestly my second race to choose the Protoss just is nah I’m good…
The answer is very simple. Choose Brotoss. Bros don't let bros play Terran or Zerg.

I am most definitely not a high level player. But you say that there are three paths for Protoss: Templar, Robo or Stargate. I often win just by going mass stalker, which works just like mass dragoon in brood war, only with less traffic jams thanks to Blink. I guess that's Robo because you'd eventually make Colossus if you wanted to keep Stalkers relevant but .... what am I saying. Stalkers are always relevant. They are cheap and fast to make, and they are effective for both ground and air. Maybe this isn't viable if you want to be a competitive level player on ladder. But if you're just playing StarCraft casually for fun with your friends, mass stalker is a relatively manageable approach for noobs at least I guess.

When I picked my race I picked Zerg because Terran was just too similar to be interesting, Protoss was better but Zerg was just phenomenal and so I picked them as they were just the most interesting and fun to play.
In a few words, no matter which race you'll decide to play, it will be hard and complicated AF! 😅

Terran is honestly little more simple compared to the two but still is stressful I can barely beat a medium A.I been practicing that way so I can be better at online 1v1. I have only won like 5-10 out of my 100 games it is truly a difficult RTS game and complicated considering you have track and use your troops properly to give yourself advantage on other players I always seem to get countered a lot and wiped by other players. Edit: Zerg is the most difficult for me tbh and I have been trying to learn them for about a week it’s not the same as SC1 when I was a wee lad in middle school playing it when it first came out.
Cool in-depth guide !
Terran if you want to slay heretics.

I believe this is because a lot of the Protoss units are quite bulky and powerful especially in the lower leagues. What a lot of people don't see is the Protoss require the most spellcaster micro while fighting with units such as Disruptors, high Templar, sentry forcefield, Pheonix etc. So as you get better at the game Protoss also gets a lot more difficult to be really good at :)

If you are new you should take the time to play all the raes and practice with each one. After some time you will learn about each race and keep getting better with them. After choose which one you like best: easier for your playstyle, more challenging for you, more fun to play.

I think Terran might be the more balanced of the three in terms of unit cost defense and attack. And easiest to play with. If your good at micro of units, you are gonna do well with Terran. Protoss are expensive to make and a lot of Zerg units can only engage in close quarters and don’t have very good air superiority. Where as Terran can combat from a distance and have decent air forces.

I don't understand why though. Protoss are the only of the three races which aren't commonly seen in the finals of Tournaments lately. Super hard to beat Terran
The very reason why i will stay casual in base building RTS game is because i'm bad at micromanaging, whether it's about the base or the army. I love playing CnC, AoE, Starcraft, and other games. Most of time, i will just do campaign.

I'm the same as you, I flux between those two races but don't touch terran. Generally speaking Zerg will have more options as you are able to tech switch really fast and go from something like ling bane to mass muta with a simple re rally so if thats what you like go Zerg. But just be ready to have a million APM for the race haha GLHF

No worries man, in terms of openings it really does depend on what matchup it is. Cause if it's a PvZ then you need to make your build order have some sort of timing involved otherwise the Zerg gets out of hand where in PvP you need early defences in order to put up a fight in the mirror match up. If that makes sense. If you don't mind me asking what rank are you?

I love the style of the video and the concept. It is well done, although it fails a little in execution. If you did script the majority of this video and plan on doing similarly in the future, try to make sure that your phrasing is right, e.g 8:07 making when and where they choose a fight "detrimental" (bad) for success. 8:42 Chrono-boost ... at an increased time etc. Not trying to be a dick, just a bit of constructive criticism Keep up the good work :)

Lol its as if you are rapping to the beat xD
It's always going to be a zergling ambush, with an overlord dropping in some Hydralisks, and some guardians bringing In heavy air support. Capture choke points with Zerglings and Hydrolisks, and explore the rest of the map, with Ultarlisks baby sitting. It's too far inro the game by then.
If you are both equal beginner level and you play zerg and your friend protoss prepare to be crushed most of the time, unless you are fast enough. Building a protoss deathball is a lot more easy than a effective zerg army, because zerg requires more unit and counter knowledge

This was really nice for me, someone who is trying to pick up Starcraft but struggling to grasp such a complicated game. (And there are not many up to date guides on the matter:( ) I do have a question tho, is it true Terran has the highest skill ceiling and is the most powerful race at high levels? Is there any point picking Zerg or Protoss? I would like to avoid switching and stick to a race that remains a rewarding and viable pick to master.

Thanks so much man glad I could help. Yeah you would be right in saying this as Terran has incredible multi pronged harass potential. Because of this you can pull another player apart. This along with the power of Mech allows Terran to be beast! I play Protoss and Zerg but not Terran as I just like how these two races feel to play. I would say pick the race which is most fun for you. But if you're worried cause I said that Terran is the strongest don't be cause in order to play Terran this well you need to have amazing Macro. Which is not easy with the Terran race.

HEAR MEROAR it is balanced. Terran just seems to be in korean sc2, at the very high pro level. But others say its the players (imo aswell), were the terrans simply got the best. In europe and NA there are like no top level terrans, the zergs and toss are more popular there. Terran also is the hardest to play, macro wise and micro wise. So, until youre a korean god, you dont have to worry about balance!

I’m in master 3 as Zerg. He sucks at explaining how Zerg is. The idea is to get a high eco and throw away multiple waves at a time and just overwhelm you opponent. Plus the creep he explains even worse. Other races can’t build on it Zerg has to built on it. What he said isn’t wrong, it just isn’t in enough detail
