So much shit protoss can do. I remember when the exact opposite was a common thing to hear. Yeah 1-1-1 was "so much shit terran can do". 1-1-1 was as ridiculous as the protoss blink play versus T is now. It's a one-size-fits all opening that removes any incentive for creative play. Actually, 1-1-1 was an all in that was impossible to scout and very hard to hold even if you prepare for it. Blink is a very hard to hold build that has transitions if Protoss doesn't choose to commit and very hard for Terran to scout if Protoss will commit. So there are major differences.
What I mean is that both strategies are incredibly boring to watch. No matter who executes it, it is always going to look the same, and the opposing player is very limited in the ways he can react to it. I don't think terrans really feel the need to scout anymore. They know that the chances of blink pressure are incredibly high, so they are forced to prepare themselves against it. This puts Protoss at an advantage: they may commit, and even if they fail they can easily survive the Terran pressure that comes afterwards, or they may not commit, and Terran will have wasted resources on defending an attack that will never arrive (just switch Protoss and Terran for 1-1-1).
It's a win-win for Protoss, no matter how you look at it. It's a lose-lose situation for the spectator because he knows what is going to happen anyway.

But maybe after after San vs herO more people would understand that PvP is the best mirror mu Keep deluding yourself. There will never be a PvP series even half as good as some of the TvTs we've seen in HoTS. 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. It's all taste. I personally think TvT is quite boring. Especially compared to the current state of PvP It's not taste if the only players agreeing with you are protoss players. Protoss players preferring PvP over TvT? YOU DON'T SAY!!!!! Well, I did prefer TvT when PvP was all 4gates. Not going to respond to my sick burn? Please burn me again, didn't catch it
It's too late you said something about "I like PvP" or something and I said

I don't like Marineking that much. Creator is pretty good-looking as well though

But maybe after after San vs herO more people would understand that PvP is the best mirror mu Rofl, TvT is far better. We've never seen any ZvZ or PvP as good as Taeja vs Innovation or MMA vs Gumiho. Not many non mirrors have had better games or come close. I think we have seen some zvzs during the height of imbalance better then mma vs gumiho not too many but still. 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. Ryung vs Flash 1 and 2 Flash vs Innovation Mvp vs Innovation Mvp vs MMA GSL Mvp vs MMA GSTL Ryung vs Polt Maru vs Flash Just off the top of my head. I know I'm missing some Keen, Taeja, Supernova, Gumiho TvTs.
Actually now that I think about it, Flash and Fantasy have played a few really good TvTs in SPL.

But maybe after after San vs herO more people would understand that PvP is the best mirror mu better than tvt, what are you smoking? The truth You may like it more and there may be great games from it but MMA vs Gumiho and Innovation vs Taeja will live on forever. Only cause the internet hivemind doesn't understand the intricacies of PvP I understand them just fine they just don't appeal to me. 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. The bolded part shows you don't understand PvP at all
Sure do, it's just that I see it differently than you do.
Why don't you test me then?

Also, I honestly think mvp has the two most over rated games of all time: that game vs squirtle on metalopolis, and that game vs top.
Overrated games. But two of the best moments.

I have sOs vs PartinG in my TL Bracket challenge Parting is such a bum when he gets past the ro8. I don't trust him in GSL at all.
that's why I have him losing. He'll scrape by the soOjwa. easymode Life's bad ZvP. and then get 4-0d by sOs

just tell to taeja that 100 000$ is 10 000$ x 10 and he will give up
