Any match where I don't need to see a Marauder is a good one.

Favorite race to watch coincides fairly well to the ratio of players on TL that play the respective races. Makes sense.

Very interesting stats. I guess this forum hates Terrans ><"

I would've actually thought ZvZ as one of the worst entertaining matchups.

yea, I mean why would you vote for Terran game when you see them winning left and right ?

As a protoss player I watch almost exclusively PvX matches, plus my favorite non protoss players.
are they lost forever?

This adds more evidence to the theory that online communities are definitely zerg-biased, and generally anti-terran. How do you explain that phenomenon? Are people really that petty about race allegiance in a game? I personally can watch any matchup and be entertained.

why not :p
Zerg is definitly the more fun race to watch because the mini map gets purple, checking out the player's macro by looking at queen's energy etc.
Occasionally 2000banelings rolling everywhere, infestors making 3000 infested terran, muta trolling a whole pack of marines.

and compared to other races, zerg doesn't cheese so often or no "1-1-1" build

The match-ups in order of entertainment seems weird, but the one based on which race winning/losing is so, so right.

I agree w/ this. I think that ZvZ is on par with the terrible pre-patch PvP and TvT (TvT is still awful IMO and regardless of how good MVP is, I can only watch him dominate nerds so much).
The universe created an audience for itself.

I think many people just think it's more enjoyable to watch a non cheesy, non one base game. Let's be honest, this game is at it's most impressive in a big macro game. Only there do we get to see the full range of skills and why the person we are watching should be considered an athlete. Those features are more likely to happen in Zerg matchups as most of their games normally have a game plan beyond the mid game. (mind you, I'm not saying Zerg is more skillful to play)

I personally love to watch cheesy one base play, and I'm sure a lot of other people do to.

In general, I think this poll correctly shows how anti-terran TL and the rest of the starcraft community is. On gsl replays, 50% of comments are always "T OP", and there is even obvious terran hate on TL. I think TvZ is the most fun MU to watch and to play, because its so fast paced, and 1 mistake can lose you the game.

There is a serious lack of random in these polls.

Most of the time, it's people liking the players, not the race (It's just a causal effect since their favourite player plays that race)

It's a big reason why Zerg is so beloved in Broodwar, because Jaedong and Zero play Zerg xd
