Zvp is a pain for both. Zergs don't feel comfortable letting the toss get the deathball but don't feel like they are ready for it. Toss is nervous as they rely on the deathball and are afraid to try to stop the 3rd as when they move out they can be countered easy. Actually as a heads up for other toss players, until diamond almost no zerg would send in their lings as soon as I left my base, just sayin.

LOL, i had the same thought about the fear of both races about the other one :D

I (as zerg) would feel veeery comfortable just to a-move my deathball into victory :D

APM is really no measure of skill. I'm in Diamond with <50 APM. No spam here.

edit: and no, I'm not a toss player in sc2. Terran has been my main for months.

These results are actually starting to fascinate me. In gold league (huge caveat I know) I have a 70%+ win rate vs Zerg. Meanwhile my PvP is absolutely atrocious. It's interesting to see what people are answering compared to my own experience.

ZvP is difficult. Glad I am not the only one. Even through I am possibly worse on ZvZ but it just doesn't feel good losing to P rather than Z...not sure why.
To be honest, I thought losing to Z would feel worse because it means he is a better zerg than I am.

Im happy that to become the best player i can be is winning that poll.

The most satisfying way to win is to outsmart your opponent imo.
I like the idea of this poll.
BW pros training sc2 is like kiss making a dub step album.
