FXOleenock: I dunno if he invented it or not. But have you seen this kid use burrowed banelings? Mid-battle he always burrows banelings and its so easy to miss. Moments later he pulls back his army and the marines all explode as they give chase.
He does so much with so little every single ZvT really insipirational player

you would love stephano then as he started all that burrowing banelings mid fight gayness
The answer is neither the moon nor the sun, it is fact the might Fang of Death the king of cool DeathFang.
He captured my heart many life cycles ago during a game of card where he bet a few silver pieces against my bundle of hay forming a life long friendship.
i don't have a 'favourite' per say, i like to watch a few high level zergs play and watching reps from them, I like IMNestea, Liquid Ret, Idra, spanishiwas stream is also fun to watch
Like
PvZ: JYP wins this hands down. Storm drops and storming lings and everything in sight looks for impressive.
PvT: I'll give this to HuK. Even though he got raped by IMMVP, his games vs nada was pretty entertaining.
PvP: Ex-ogsMC. LiquidHero PvP have been impressing me so much.. Quoted from day9, "His stalkers micro themselves"
TvP: OptimusPrime. King of bio, his perfectly executed timings and drops always leave me in awe.
TvT: I have 2: OptimusPrime for his super awesome BIO vs Mech skills that makes the match up 5X more entertaining to watch.
IMMVP for his imba mech vs mech into late game air terran transition. He impresses me in his late game TvT.
TvZ: Marinekingprime still impresses me with his strong TvZ.
ZvT: I'm stuck between leenock and DRG. But i think i'll throw my vote to leenock for his great understanding of the matchup and banelings landmines.
ZvP: IMNestea AND IMLosira, 70 drones holding 2 base allins? IMBA.
ZvZ: Hands down nestea. He plays perfect ZvZ.
hmmmm really tough question, so i'll have to choose a few for each race.
Z: Kyrix - not the most popular player but has the 'JulyZerg' really aggressive style
Yellow - c'mon who doesn't like yellow? Really want to see him perform well, he did such a great job in the short time he had to prepare. Storm Zerg!
DRG - another great player who always show impressive play.
P: oGsMC - of course the President of Protoss goes without saying
T: Marine King I love his aggressive continual pressure style, hope to see him finally win something
MMA- from the moment i first saw him play i was immensely impressed, his continual drops (despite getting behind) and insane multitasking impressed me immensely.
:S just realised that these were all Korean players, oh well these were just off the top of my head
Terran: MKP his marine splitting against Kyrix in Open Season 2 nearly made me jizz.
Protoss: Sage or Younghwa - Both relatively unseen, both the future of the Protoss race along with JYP
Zerg: Seal is massively underrated, but who could go past DRG for this. That guy is just incredible.
Yes I know they are all Korean, I simply don't rate foreigners compared to the Koreans. With a few exceptions.
I have a special place in my heart for Boxer and Yellow. I hope they dominate soon. I want a Boxer v Yellow GSL Code S final SO bad. Old school BW pro fanboy for life
These are not my favourite players as gamers but more of my favourite players to watch! I tend to like unorthodox players with crazy strategies cause it makes the games so much more fun.
Koreans
MKP - Crazy good micro, crazy good style. LiquidHero - Love his multitasking style and use of warp prisims. Losira - Super creative Zerg
Non-Koreans
demuslim - Hilarious player although super solid/abc hes my #1 favourite streamer to watch cause hes so entertainting. kiwikaki - By far the coolest protoss who ever existed, my favourite protoss since day 1. Love how he uses motherships vs Ret/Sheth @ the MLG and BEATS them 2-1. So sick. Stephano - Love his style.
SEA
OxygeN - The original 1 baser, way ahead of his time who 1 based vs every single race before it was even popular lol. The amount of effort he puts in to perfect his builds and timings is crazy and so fun to watch him execute. Kowi My hero, love his original style, never been so impressed. Back when retail just launched he went like mass blink stalkers + mothership vs glade.. and WON! iceiceice - The most unorthodox zerg and probably most talented player in SEA. JesseTheKing - So much fun to watch. A character you will either love or hate depending on which side of his you are on lol!

You serious about the mothership part of kiwikaki? Time to look up the games
MMA - At the risk of sounding cliche, but his TvZ is just beautiful to watch. How I wish I could multitask like that... maybe one day.
MVP - Wasn't as big a fan as a lot of people because he seemed a little boring, despite his skill, but watching him absolutely dismantly DongRaeGu at MLG with just completely standard Terran play, and then watching his GSL finals against TOP (that game 1 was insane with the thor/ghost drop) I'm a big fan of his very mechanical style.
ThorZain - I love this kid so much. I love the way he plays it, so I steal his builds for TvP and there's a reason that matchup is 1-2 leagues higher in skill than my other two... :/
HuK - is a pretty beast player. Top 3 control makes holding 1 gate expands against heavy rax pressure look easy. JYP - does some amazing things in PvZ especially, but every time I've seen him play it's been just a bit different to what other people do, and he's making it work big time right now.
There's not any zergs that I'm actually a big fan of (other than SEA players when they play anyone outside SEA, obv.) but in terms of skill, Nestea and DongRaeGu are probably my favourites to watch. And Stephano and Sen (and possibly Dimaga) for the best non-Korean Zerg players.
Thorzain plays too conservatively sometimes. When I watch him do that shit I keep yelling at him to just win the game before you drop something. There is such a thing as too cautious dammit!
I like any good terran with a self commentated stream so I can steal their builds. Demuslim, whilst he is English and that is unfortunate, does this so I really like his recent play.

I don't much like watching him play TvZ like he did in Code A... even though he won his first game, it was so slow :/ I just love his TvP like nothing else.
My preferred player is TLO, just because he is a really nice guy and is very inventive. I prefer when he macro than when he does his crazy All-ins, though.
Toss - Huk/Hero, I watch them both quite a bit and love their play styles
Zerg - Spanishiwa/NesTea, Spanish has weird play styles while NesTea is actually from another planet.
Terran - MKP/TLO, I love watching MKP's amazing control and TLO's crazy inventive style.

Founding member of the illustrious team SMEG. Part time human, full time Protoss.
Terran - MVP, the GSL August final showcased how insane this guy is. So many times I thought Top would roll him over with superior composition and units. But then MVP would crush it. I still have no idea how!
Protoss - None really, they all bore me. Which is kind of sad considering I play Protoss. I am looking forward to watching Hero in GSL October though. Younghwa is also very entertaining.
Zerg - Nestea. The guy has ZvZ down pact. Meticulous timings with smart B/O's. Make one mistake and prepare to get crushed.
MMA - Been a fan ever since MLG... Columbus I think? The one he won. Watching him pick Losira apart with unrelenting harassment and constant drops in the middle of separate battles was great.
Dongraegu - First noticed this guy during GSTL, his final game vs MMA was fantastic. Love watching him play ZvT in particular.
Nestea - It's no secret that this guy is awesome. His recent GSL match against MVP reaffirmed him as one of my favourites.
Losira - This kid might not be as solid as some, but he's still an impressive player and he seems to have a really good attitude. There's something about the look of him that makes me just want to give him a big (manly) hug, and I can't help but cheer for him.
Huk - One of the few protoss players I really enjoy watching. Even when I was playing protoss I didn't find them particularly exciting to watch, but Huk I find really impressive. The term "amazing forcefields" gets thrown around a bit by commentators these days, but this guy actually has them. I love watching him pull through a seemingly dire situation with his perfect control. Seeing him randomly quote FFVII during ladder matches sealed the deal.
White-Ra - The man is just pure class, and how can you not love speshial taktics?
IdrA - the first time i saw idra was back in the king of the beta tournament and since i played zerg and idra was 1 of the few zergs in the tournament i decided to cheer for him. that was the first esports i ever watched and found myself really getting excited and when he won the tournament it made it even better and i have been a big fan ever since.
He doesn't win all the time (hah) but my favourite zerg is still Mafia, tgun is a close second.
What makes me more interested in their play compared to say Nestea, is the way they react/handle certain situations. It's probably not the best way to react nor the most efficient but it's amazingly fun to watch.
Protoss: White-ra (obviously)
Zerg: Lately Idra has been really impressing me (since he's started to get over himself)
Terran: um.. TLO or Boxer I guess? Boxer based on pure passion
Can't really single out one player, I like heaps of them.
Zerg:
DRG ( The dude is just insane)
July (His full blown aggressive style is awesome to watch, always keeping his opponents on the backfoot)
Idra (Supreme Macro)
Nestea (So dominant)
Sheth (Such a nice guy)
Terran:
Boxer (Continues to innovate with new builds and is just awesome to watch)
Jinro (Gorilla Terran, has some great innovative builds and extremely solid mechanics)
TLO (Although not the best, always fun to watch as he's so creative)
MKP (His micro O.o)
MVP (crazy drops and control)
Protoss:
Hero (Always seems to pull a win outta impossible situations, great player with amazing unit control)
White-ra (Speschal Tactikz, need I say more?)
Zerg - I'd have to say Idra
Protoss - Cant decide between White-Ra and Huk
Terran - I dont really follow terran players but the first name that comes to mind is QXC
IMnestea since he represents a hope for zerg but ultimately my favourite player would be Destiny. Haters' gonna hate but he really made me more motivated to play SC2 more than any other players, not forgetting that he's the only streamer that is not a hypocrite and always entertaining the viewers. A few of his moves are just epic, "Overlord retard magnet", "NP-ing a ghost to EMP rest of the ghosts(against Demulsim)" and "Brofester hit squad".
My most(?) favourite players are all Terran,
Non-Korean - Kawaii Rice
Korean - Millenium Dragon
Korean Code S- MKP
I also like Quantic.Destiny and coL.CatZ as Zerg players.
No favourite Protoss players, they all seem too serious IMO
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Terran : SlayerSMMA, Mil. Dragon and LiquidJinro
Zerg: DRG and IdrA
Protoss: HuK and MC

Earlygame ZvZ is basically a knifefight with suicide bombers.
Only one player is the reason why I bought GOM TV tickets, NesTea. He has always shown epic games with unbelievable game sense, games which gave me nerd chills ever since GSL season 2(2011). I don't care what other top zergs can do or how that NesTea is in a slump, he will always be the only player I support and I will wait for him to raise up again. A true fan never quits because NesTea never does as well.
