The fact that so much of PvP is about what decisions you make rather than how you control your army or position your units is a huge turn off to me. The very nature of the way Protoss units hard counter each other completely ruins any kind of excitement I get watching the game. PvP to me is almost pure math 90% of the time. TvT when played well looks like real warfare, it has all of the intricacy of even the highest played PvP except it's actually exciting. | ||

It's not like taeja vs innovation or mma vs gumiho are the standard tvt either lol I think the one ZvZ I've seen that I would call a genuinely great game was that Nestea vs Symbol game on one of the ridiculously giant maps we had, Metropolis or something. There may have been others but that's the one that sticks out in my mind. As for TvTs, we've got all-time standouts like Bogus/Taeja, MMA/Gumiho, Mvp/TOP, and in general just a lot of good games. TvT has been my favorite matchup ever since tanks fell out of regular usage in TvZ. PvP though, it just does nothing for me. They all blend together as a bunch of fast games that end on 1 base or giant deathball laser wars. Definitely the worst mirror by a longshot. | ||

Mirrors are usually popular and PvP can be an acquired taste. Also, much as I like PvP and herO and sOs (if he makes it), there is an element of luck to if we get a good PvP. It's better for the tournament if Taeja makes it through to the final. | ||

I think the biggest problem is that with longer WCS seasons we have to stay with the same map pool for too long and can't react to imbalances with maps. Also adding not-tested maps like Daedalus to a pool that we have to live with for like 3-4 months is just stupid. | ||

How can you watch a series like Innovation vs Taeja at WCS Season 2 and not admit that TvT just has the highest potential of any of the mirrors? Nothing that PvP will ever offer can even hope to compare. Then I like and appreciate different things than you. But yes, those were great games. But most of posts in this thread are against PvP finals. | ||
