GSL should make a rule for a PvP final like "No Collossi allowed". I'd be so thankful to them

PvP is THE MOST UNFORGIVING matchup there is, people who think it's boring should spend couple of mins and read this:

Basically PvP is about build, scouting and execution, if you screw it up at any point - you lose.

What I really find fun (observing) is to try to predict when can a player die, beacuse it goes back and forth, even if players are not engaging. 1 additional tech can turn the whole engagement on it's head and best of all, there is no strict guideline HOW to get to endgame, like the other MU, for example:

PvT
If no cheeze
P FE, T goes into 1-1-1 or any sort of FE.
P goes Allin, or stays defensive and tech up to AoE, T harass protoss, tries to deny his 3.
After 15 minutes MU turns around, T teches up, to have responce for all P tech, and tries to hold his bases.
Lategame (haven't seen other compositions on pro lvl in lategame) MMMVG+Leftovers from oppening vs Protoss Deathball.
Game is pretty even and mostly decided by positioning, engagement and good use of spells.
Sometimes we see nukes.

PvZ
If no cheeze
P goes FFE, Z goes 3 hatch with a slight possibility to some kind of 2 base allin or just muta.
P pressures the Z to get on even footing in order to secure 3rd, or do any 2 base timing.
Z goes 3 hatch allin to try and kill P or deny his 3rd.
P gets any or both blink/colossi and pushes against zerg, if fails, defends and teches, zerg teches to spine-infestor-BL.
Positional play, protoss tries either blink-kill BL or teches to MS and archon-toilet, zerg is pushing, or just slowly moving with spines.
Protoss harasses income-production of zerg while constructing ultimate deathball (Archon, Colossus, Templar, Stalker, Zealot, Carrier, MS) and if is able, then usualy wins (only if mispositioned, or/and poor engagement).

So PvP is the most undecide MU, love it.
