I play protoss because their Tier 3 units are very good, especially compared to Terran. As I like to macro up and play a long game defensively and then have one big push, this suits my style. Protoss are just generally cooler, zerg following closely behind, with Terran just having not very cool units.

I play as zerg just because I like the way they play, heavy macro cheap units. But I am also known to play Toss just becuase they have cool units and are so fun to play

Just got this game 2 days ago, have to say it's sooo much better than Starcraft. I own Starcraft but never really could get into it, I was hoping I'd like the sequel more and I definitely do.

Me and my friend were doing a 4v4, one teammate left at the beginning the other raged and I got a 15 gate proxy with stalkers and my friend got a lot of banshees. We won a 2v4. I felt proud.

Are you walling off your ramp with your barracks and supply depots? If you aren't then always do. If you are walling off then you should have at least a single marine out in time which can quite easily handle the zerglings.

As for protoss you just build your first gateway and cybernetics core at the top of your ramp with a single zealot on 'Hold Position' int a single space gap. This forces zerglings to attack single file which makes them useless.
