I didn't think it was worth its own thread in Broodwar, since someone can probably answer it pretty quick and that will be that. With no furthur ado;
Does anyone know if racepicking or playing random is legal in Korean leagues? Players never do it, of course, but I wonder if it's a KeSPA rule that players have to pick a race and register with it, or what exactly the rule is.
you say you want a Revolution?

they have to go with the race that they're scheduled to play. They can't just go into the game lobby and be like "oh you know what I think I'm gonna play Terran instead."

A player can pick any race for a tourny, but it has to be before the tournament started and they can't play that race in any other leagues if they were already playing their main race in them.

In the tournament that Plexa linked, Savior told kespa beforehand that only in the case if he was to play versus GoRush in their group (Jangbi v Savior, Shine v Gorush) he would be playing Terran. He played all other games as Zerg.

I've seen the first part before (i.e you can pick Zerg, Terran, Protoss or Random for a specific match, as long as you give one week's notice), but I've never see the second part you posted. Do you have a source for it?

No this is incorrect. The only criterion for changing race is they have to alert KeSPA one week prior to the match - in Proleague, MSL or OSL. This is so the other players have enough time to practice for this change.
Actually theres not. The random race generator in starcraft isnt truely random. It seems to try and even out the different races. If your playing a ZR vs ZP for example, there are already 2 zergs in the game and the random generator will be biased towards terran and protoss.
There was a thread a while ago about this.

I remember the week buildup and anticipation of Savior playing as TERRAN in that TV match a few years back. It felt so wrong watching him playing as Terran. hehe.
