Ok, so me being the idiot I am. I often forget to look at what race my opponent is (and I know it happens to several of you as well as a lot of people often ask me what race I am). I just recently realized that you can look at what your opponent's race is by simply clicking on the top right icon as followed.



Don't worry, if you are random, you will show up as random.



Granted, quite a few of you probably already know, but I'm sure this is a nice little tool for those that don't and are as forgetful as me.



Also, a great tool for rechecking for team games because who wants to remember 2, 3, or 4 races Don't worry, if you are random, you will show up as random.Granted, quite a few of you probably already know, but I'm sure this is a nice little tool for those that don't and are as forgetful as me.Also, a great tool for rechecking for team games because who wants to remember 2, 3, or 4 races Jaedong <3 HOOK'EM HORNS!

How do people still not understand that having to master 3 races is a massive disadvantage that isn't even remotely compensated by this slight advantage granted in each game?

stalife Profile Blog Joined June 2006 Canada 1221 Posts #13 Holy crap, that is just so useful!!! Nowadays, the players I play in ladder are all same, so I know their races from previous encounters... But before, when my opponents were almost always different, it was hard b/c I alt-tab a lot during load screen or during "Search" ... and I hated it when my opponents wouldnt tell me the race.. www.memoryexpress.com

Every so often the portrait is of a different race and my brain wigs out and I think I'm fighting Zerg and then my SCV bumps into another SCV and I'm like "Oh.".



Or I get distracted during the load screen and think I looked but actually didn't.



I decide on my build once the game is going, because it depends on positions.

Skill wise it's harder yes, but how good someone is shouldnt impact how someone else plays the actual game it self.
