I don't know if you know this, but preference is kinda subjective.

Going to second GGPlay vs Iris, game 5 on Python of the Daum OSL.

Edit: Rewatching it, I still don't know how the crap GGPlay pulled that game off. Right up until Iris falls apart at the end (which was largely a matter of the ultras coming out), it looks like GGPlay is just barely hanging on even with all the insane swarms and plagues he's pulling off.

My vote is for that semi recent game of Bisu v Jaedong on Judgement day? That shit was epic. it was during proleague r5, skt v oz set 3? or something. cant quite remember

(you know, trying to think of a good recent game, rather than a tried n true classic)

I think this was one of the "flashiest" games of BW I have ever watched.

GGplay vs Stork is pretty terrible viewing for the hour or so in the middle, besides the novelty of the game going on for so long.

I'll put in another vote for Flash vs Jaedong on Rush Hour 3.

Idk about BW being a better spectator sport than SC2 tho. I have watched 1000's of BW games and 1000's of SC2 games and I think Sc2 is a SLIGHTLY better spectator sport.


Lol Sc2 is such a joke compared to BW


Agreed, I've watched SC2 and i just cannot contemplate how anyone could not think that BW is vastly superior spectator sport right now. Anyway, some good games:

Bisu vs Iris Game 5 on byzantium 3 (sick sick comeback)
Bisu vs Yellow on HBR (epic game + crowd flipping out)
GGPlay vs Iris OSL finals game 5 (such a great game of bio TvZ and the fact that GGPlay did a reverse sweep)
Jaedong vs Movie Byzantium 3 (JD expertly holding off the timing rushes again and again with so few units)
Flash vs Jaedong on RH3/Loki (high level TvZ and close games, what else to say)
fOrGG vs Stork on Athena (sick timing push and comeback, some really intense points)
Leta vs Jaedong on Outsider (Mutalisk vs Wraith micro, high level micro game + great play overall)
8/4/12 never forget, never forgive.

Savior vs Iris game 5 on Neo Arkanoid
Boxer vs Oov 2004 EVER OSL whole series
Stork vs GGplay on andromeda
Jaedong vs KaL on byzantium (2 hatch spire into scourge into double expand, the first time it was used I think)

EDIT: UpMaGiC vs Nal_ra on Nemesis sick sick MnM vs Reaver micro

what kind of friend are you, trying to force him to get into a 10+yr old game when the new and improved one is out??

sc2 is far superior for the actual act of watching a game. you can zoom in on battles, see all sorts of shit that you needed penguin to see back in bw and what not... it's pretty much not even debatable that SC2>BW for watching games.

I was gonna say that..when this thread was first posted but last time I mentioned it in a thread similar to this I got bashed

I think the most exciting thing about that game was Yellow beating a powerhouse like Bisu..and a newbie wouldn't know who yellow is and the significance of him beating bisu..so yeah
