Or Roach/Ling/Hydra/Vipers, or Hydra/Lings into Mutas, or Ultras/Queens/Infestors/Vipers into Mass Mutas, or mass Corruptors/Mutas into mass Swarm Hosts, or....
Tech switching is not the same as teching up. Also,mass muta switches only work if you're opponent is way behind, has no infrastructure or gets caught completely unawares.

Ok and what's your point?
The last PvP I saw was decided by a concave of Immortals vs a convex of Immortals. It's the exact same dynamic just with filler units.
Doesn't change the fact that ZvZ can be played in a huge variety of ways even though the dominant strategy in Korean televised matches is Roach v Roach.

I'm always surprised when people seriously claim that there is no difference in macro between someone like Flash or Bomber and a lower tier foreign Terran or something, it feels kind of obvious that there is.

Yeah except it was blind. if HerO had spawned in the bottom left Violet would have lost instantly the nexus first was blind too, no? There's no forge opening as protoss that doesn't put you behind if zerg doesn't early pool. So you might say that protoss always has to gamble a bit vs zerg with the openings. or he could just go gateway first Then viOLet can gamble on a 3hatch before pool (like he did successfully this game). I've always wondered. Naniwa called Duckdeok a coin flipper, but when he did it himself, he called it mindgames. What is the difference? The difference is that PvP is about flipping coins and you can flip them responsibly or carelessly.

The point is that every ZvZ is roach vs roach. And it's been that way for a long time. If it gets past that stage we get free units vs free units.
PvP is the matchup with the most possible openings that each can be dissected and ripped apart if you analyze them and are smart enough to come up with a counter. There's room for a lot more variety in PvP than the other two mirrors. Of course that goes both ways because we can get herO vs sOs finals just as we can get Warer Invitational MC vs HerO finals which was amazing.
All in all I find PvP the most interesting mirror because absolutely everything is possible. Once you wrap your head around the different openings and their purpose/how they play out against other ones, it's a very enjoyable matchup.

Everything is possible in TvT too. There are a dozen different openings with a dozen more ways to react and counter react to everything.

Ro8 is looking pretty boring so far imo
Because who wants underdogs or breakout players? Why on Earth would we tune in to watch the unexpected or the surprising? We are Starcraft fans, and we demand nothing but the best! And don't you try to say someone deserves it more for little things like "beating" or "outplaying" others. We know who the best are, that's why we keep inviting them to every tournament in every corner of the globe!
Seriously, dude, this bracket looks sick as hell. Classic, an unexpected breakout performer who isn't afraid to go for absurd cheese. Solar, the team league master whose always had his Achilles heel in the GSL. Paralyze, the most doubted player in all of Code S, who just keeps knocking off the biggest names. TRUE, a player whose style is anything but cookie-cutter, who will redefine SO MANY BANELINGS if you let him.
And then the stars. Maru, best Terran in the world. soO, The Man who Would be Kong.
And then we see the final group. Soulkey, often seen as the top Zerg. Innovation, the robotic Terran who proves you can succeed on a foreign team. Zest, the all-powerful defending GSL champion. Or we might just see another new story unfold with a little cheeser that knocked out the World Champ.

It's also the matchup that gives the world the most build order losses and wins of all time, which is kind of a pain in the ass. You can tell me that "Oh well that shows how smart and brilliant and godlike Protoss players have to be to scout literally everything" but top top TOP players get beaten in PvP based on builds all the time which sometimes can be a real shame.
