ZvZ has the lowest highs...one in awhile you get an exciting hivetech game, but a lot of the excitement comes from how rare such games are Although if you love watching players micro (which I do) ZvZ's come with their own brand of enjoyment | ||

Every time I watch or keep track of the lr thread, I go 1-1 or 0-2, but whenever I vote and forget and check back a week later, I get massive voting steaks... | ||

He wins the matches that he should not win and loses the matches that he should not lose. STX better win the next 3 matches. | ||

Not as amazing as other MU's IMO. All non-mirrors obviously have more potential due to their nature, TvT's can be ridiculously epic, and hive tech ZvZs makes me go O_O. PvP though, I can't think of many games that I would rape among the best and most interesting I've seen. Similarly, I can't think of many PvP's I would rate among the worst I've ever seen. I just find it plain uninteresting for some reason. | ||

I just find it plain uninteresting for some reason. Bisu vs Stork on Loki Bisu vs Pure on Polaris Rhapsody Sun vs Shuttle Best vs Free are a few examples of what I thought of as really good PvP games. I honestly have more trouble finding good TvT games(although they do exist), and the only ZvZ games that I find legitimately good for anything other than the novelty of hive are Zero vs great and soulkey vs great. | ||

I just find it plain uninteresting for some reason. imo it's because there just isn't as much variety in what can happen i don't know how to explain what i mean properly, but it's like, you have a smallish number of builds (allins, dts, observers, reavers) that do not allow for much variation within the builds themselves. if there's some huge tech or unit advantage then there's a battle and one player probably wins. if there isn't they both chill on 2 bases until one player somehow wins. it's like... engagements are very rare and when they do happen they tend to be decisive. the best pvps are the ones where players expand past 2bases and you actually see action on multiple fronts | ||

(And I'd still argue about Kal vs Horang2: assuming both players played about their normal, I think Horang2 wins that one at least 7/10.) | ||
