As for SC2 - TvT is well thought-out IMO. Given that the Terran has so many options to open with (banshees with and w/o cloak, marine/hellion drop, even a reaper or two...), I think it's very interesting to watch, at least until mid-to-late game. I understand the beauty of positional battles and their strategic necessity, but often, it's not all that entetaining. Apart from that, I really like TvT for the variety. ZvZ - I play zerg a bit, and it's very hectic and aggressive, kinda fun to play, although it's terrible to lose due to a tiny mistake (one baneling blast and you can pretty much gg out). If the game is good and both players have good control, it's fantastic to watch. Depends on the game really. PvP - As a protoss player, I like a lot about it. The early and midgame are very interesting and kinda well thought out (Many options once again: 3 gate pressure, blink stalkers, immortal/warp prism drop, phoenix, DTs...), even though sometimes it turns to a BO win. But I tend to think that happens (or will happen) less and less. ... the BIG problem is the lategame. Colossi are, at least now, the only way to go, and having a fight decided by the number of collosi or by getting the first volley is kinda terrible. I really hope it evolves, somehow. I see a lot of potential, especially in Immortals and archons. Or we'll just have to wait for HotS, I guess. I like all of them, in a way, but PvP and ZvZ really do depend on the game itself. There are brilliant PvP's, and terrible ones, as well as ZvZ's. TvT's is the most consistently interesting mirror. | ||

But I honestly think I would say that PvP is the matchup I both like and hate the most. | ||

PvP is less BO orientated than before, but definitely below the highest level it's very hard to watch. It is the only matchup though where koreans regularly lose to foreigners, because the matchup is pretty shallow. I feel like BW PvP has a slight advantage though. ZvZ is........good for the adrenaline junkies I guess. Not my cup of tea though. SC2 ZvZ though definitely makes for a better spectator experience though. | ||

PvP in BW is miles better than in SC2, but still pretty can dumb, but at least SC2 PvP is improving, just extremely slowly. Occasionally we get vaguely decent games, and thats nice. TvT in both is very cool, I like SC2 TvT, and the really really high level TvTs in BW are some of the best matches in both games. Below that it can be kinda dull, but still very skill based and generally good. | ||

Scourge muta is so much fun to watch, and when between 2 good players high tech wars can be amazing, see something like Jaedong vs YellOw on Match Point in SPL. Plague leads to loads of multitasking and attacking from different angles. I can see the appeal of SC2 ZvZ, on the one hand, their is loads of micro, and its super intense, but on the other hand.... its literally retarded. Like, weird and stupid to an un believable degree. Am i doing it right? Both ZvZs are retarded both to play and watch below top level. | ||

It's the best mirror in sc2 imo, unlike the other mirrors, you can actually open with 5 different strategies and much more different variations of it. You see stargate, council and robo tech, and almost every unit is used in this mirror. Actually the danger of the all in in the early game, makes this pvp even more interesting as you don't simply sit on 2 bases and turtle like protoss does in many other match ups. Sure, a lot of different strategies, but all rock paper scissors. ( Robo > Twilight > Stargate ) > 4gate > any expo build etc | ||

Favorite is SC2 TvT. Pretty much every unit is viable and used, there's multiple tech paths/strategies, and defender's advantage/positional play. | ||

SC2 PvP < BW PvP - PvP in BW is exciting with reavers, storms, and lots of action. PvP in SC2 is only decent if blink wars happen. SC2 ZvZ >= BW ZvZ - Both are terrible, SC2 is only sometimes better because I think ling/bling into roach/infestor is more exciting then ling into muta/scourge. | ||
