Ok, here's the thing: I really like watching SC2 matches, more then actually playing it (btw: is this totaly weird?).
During the beta and shortly after release there were all kinds of crazy builds and strategies but by now every pro seems to play pretty much the same.
Or am I simply a to big of a noob to appreciate the sleight differences? Did SC1 end up the same?

I can't stand to watch it either.  But I never played one so I can't appreciate it.

You need to be involved in games to appreciate them. Which is why I can't get watching others play, other than learning what the game is like.

I like watching a lot more than playing, too stressful. But I still enjoy a good commentary.

Strategies will continue to evolve just like in SC1 - if you are bored of what you see now take a break and come back to watching it.

I still enjoy watching them. Though Terran is pretty boring to watch as the vast majority always go 3M.

I wouldn't call them slight differences.  In fact, the differences are pretty large.  For one thing, it seems like zerg players are getting better and better at using nydus worms to maximize their mobility advantage and it makes a good ZvP/T mech player quite entertaining to watch.

I like Team Liquid games because of the narration. I watched all 8 parts!

I dont mean to be a dick but you are completely wrong. The game is so new that the meta game is changing so fast from week to week because everyone is figuring out new awesome builds and new ways to exploit the strengths and weaknesses of each race all the time. Plus a patch is coming out soon so things are going to change even more rapidly.

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic or not lol. Anyway, I agree with you that watching replays is pretty fun and it gets old when you see everyone 4 warp gate or reaper harass, but trust me, the game is evolving sooo much right now. Eventually though, you will be right and people will figure out the absolute best builds and stuff and then a lot of replays will seem similar. Although, once you understand the more subtle parts of the game, you see things in replays you never saw before.

I've started watching significantly less, but to be fair, that was because I was busy with moving and internet issues. I think it's just that I haven't gotten back into it more than anything.
