Blogged because I'm not sure of the exact rules on poll threads.
I'm wondering if, for a lot of people who watch Starcraft, the purpose is to look at the players and go "whoa I wish I could do that when I'm playing!" So, to get the most of those moments, you cheer for and follow the top player of your race, like an idol or role model. That's not really the case for me. I play Terran, mostly SC2 now, but I don't always like watching Flash play, and I get bored too easily to copy his turtling style (although I do like his aggressive bio TvZ). Anyway I like to watch fantasy and Effort, even though they don't win all the time they usually produce good exciting matches for me. Which kind of viewer are you?

I just cheer for whoever I want to cheer for regardless of race.
leta, fantasy, jaedong, stork and bisu are probably my top 5 though. Hwasin used to be in this list 
|
I had to choose the last option as I play random and cheer for Really. After seeing him play TvP on Match Point with medics I can't help but cheer for him in every game he plays.
|
favourite t would probably be leta
zerg i guess would be jaedong, but effort and zero and fun to watch also
protoss would be stork

I'm a Protoss who cheers for Stork/Jaedong/Leta.
I'll generally cheer for a Protoss player over a non-Protoss, though.
And I cheer against macroterrans because goddammit macroterrans.
|
Almost always played Terrans but if it was a Stork vs Flash match i would cheer for the DINOTOSS, just because he's awesome ;]
all in all , i cheer for players who can surpass the limits of race or machup.
that said if i would have to do a longer list of most favourite players, even excluding such obvious picks as Boxer oov or nada, the list still would end up kinda terran heavy

I play Terran. I like Fantasy, Leta, and Baby (when his rainbow socks are on).
Stork and Jaedong are terrifying.
