Choosing your race with sandbox?

[Jonoman92]

First off, thanks to the guys who worked to make the sandbox possible. It has been awesome playing some sc2 finally.

Is there a way to choose what race you start with though? (Or what race the cpu gets? although I don't care as much about that.)

I keep getting protoss so far but I figure that's just by chance.

I mean for me.... I double click the lazytown .exe then I find a map file and it just goes straight to the game.

honestly its not hard to restart till you get _____ race. Way more work for them to add a feature nobody needs, right?

Is it really that much work?
I don't know how the launcher works. But I guess you may be right.
Otherwise, I see no reason why they didn't include it directly.

However, some people apparently managed to edit the maps to add enemy units:

Would it be possible to create custom maps letting you play as a predetermined race?

If that's the way it is it's fine. I was just asking to see if I was missing something obvious in case there was a way to pick.
