I like “CarbotAnimations” Co-Op Missions series on YT. (Even though he forgot Artanis doesn’t have Carriers).
Here’s how to tell you play as X without actually telling you play as X.
Raynor — Feel free to take my expansion, I’ll make more Orbitals.
Kerrigan — Who needs an army anyway?
Artanis — I can summon my forces right on top of enemies and still win.
Swann — Shut up and take free gas.
Zagara — New Banelings? For me?
Vorazun — I like when enemies can’t fight back.
Karax — My Carrier is gonna arrive soon, just you wait.
Abathur — Don’t step on a green cake! That’s for our guests.
Alarak — Who needs Photon Cannons when Pylons can shoot on their own?
Nova — My soldiers are elite, best of the best. Now, can somebody heal them? Please? Anyone?
Stukov — Double the infestation, double the lags, yes?
Fenix — I’ll make Dragoon look cool.
Dehaka — Cannibal Zerg have gone extinct. I ate them all.
H&H — When Reapers fly!
Tychus — Wait, do I have an ally? Me 'n my boys have already killed everybody on the map lol.
Zeratul — Pylons are for the pussies.
Stetmann — My metallic Zerg Pylons will make our forces faster and our computers slower.
Mengsk — To hell with Geneva Conventions, all my homies hate Geneva Conventions.
