I can agree that TvZ has been one of the most interesting MUs to watch for quite some time. I feel like PvT is a little more interesting than PvZ but I tend to like watching PvZ a lot as it's one of my weaker MUs, both feel a little stagnated though. ZvZ and PvP are about even, although I feel like PvP has been getting a lot more interesting lately now that things are evolving away from 4 gate and Colossus all the time (yay Phoenix builds). TvT feels tedious to me, probably just saw too many really long Tank vs Tank games I should probably force myself to watch some of the more modern TvT and see how the MU has evolved.

Hard to say what's really my favorite as it changes a lot, but I think I might go with PvP as it seems to be one of the MUs most undergoing change right now.
I can take that responsibility.

People say PvZ is boring due to deathball vs deathball. Watch some Liquid'Hero vods. :D
Some people tell me Protoss is OP, Zerg can have over 200 supply, terrans can have kill their SCV and use mules. I hate probes.

PvZ is my favorite match-up to watch - TvZ is probably my second favorite.

I love the craziness between Protoss and Zerg. Only thing I don't like is the Archon Toilet. It is so anti-climatic (everything goes into the vortex and dies -> GG)

I used to like zvt and pvt but now that i got better at the game it fells like i know the result half way trough the game and the only times i was "surprised" was when someone cheesed/all inned or when someone didn't actually got a mid/early game adv ( which happened rarely ).
Nowadays i enjoy pvz more, tho i might still prefer tvt and tvz if i played T.
That said i rarely watch sc2 nowadays, so i might think otherwise if i watched more tournaments.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

TvZ has always been the jeweled crown of Starcraft matchups. It involves so much history and so much lore. Think of Mengsk vs Kerrigan, Boxer vs Yellow, NaDa vs July, Flash vs Jaedong, Fruitdealer vs Rainbow, MVP vs Nestea, Jjakjji vs Leenock, MMA vs DongRaeGu, Drewbie vs Idra (:

Terran and zerg players will say TvZ.

Protoss players will say PvZ.

TvZ is the best by far, far far ahead of PvZ - both of which is in the masters league of entertainment while the others are in gold

Well, for me at least those two matchups are far more entertaining than the others.

Then again, I am a zerg players so obviously biased.

OP i would rather see a poll where you could rank the matchups from 1-10 instead of selecting 1 matchup. OT tvz so dynamic.

PvZ are the matches I find more entertaning regarless if it's early, mid or late game. Althou I still find the others matches are pretty enjoyable (only exceptions beeing TvT and ZvZ*).

TvZ, just like in BW creates the most awesome games and series.

I'm a toss player, but I dont like watching TvZ, because I dont like the lengths zergs have to take, to just deal with a 50 mineral unit. The absurd cost efficiency just disgusts me.

Hopefully the flying snake in HotS will change that.

I like all non-mirror matchups, but I also like most mirrors. Each matchup is quite unique in my opinion, and they're all worth watching (if the game itself is good enough to watch).

TvT followed closely by TvZ. With the exception of Grubby and sometimes Huk I don't really enjoy watching any of the protoss players and protoss match ups. I'm not really sure why, they just don't feel as epic to me I guess? It might just be that protoss is the race that I've personally played the least, but there aren't really any "Ohhhh so sick!" moments in PvX. The thrill of perfect storms or good colossus usage isn't nearly as intense as watching perfect marine splits, siege tank positioning, perfect baneling useage, sick zergling run-bys, amazing muta control, etc.

Voted TvZ, im a toss player.

At pro lvl I think TvZ is by far the best matchup, you can clearly see that these races are "best developed" or whatever you will call it QQ
