My Dad used to play StarCraft a long time ago, and I'd like to show him a bit of the pro scene that exists today. So I'm looking for a game to show him. Ideally, the game would have as many of these as possible:

1) Involves Terran. Any matchup is acceptable, but TvZ least so: Siege Tanks are his favourite unit, and Siege Tanks are used more in TvT and TvP according to my (limited) knowledge.

2) A fairly quick game: He won't want to sit through a 30-minute game. (He probably would if he started watching, but if I was able to tell him the game was only 10 minutes, he'd be more likely to sit down and watch it in the first place)

3) Exciting! Everyone loves those breathtaking micro moments, so if we can include those, that'd be great!

So ideally, a TvX that involves siege tanks, that's reasonably short and involves some cool-ass micro. I know there's a lot of afficianados of BW pro games on this forum, so I ask for your knowledge Date is not a factor: While 2007+ is slightly preferred, I'm willing to go older, especially if Boxer is involved

unfortunately, if you really want your father to witness the glory of the siege tanks a fairly quick game wont do. but if you really want siege tanks, flash vs zero on polaris.

hmmm have you thought of highlight videos instead, because many short terran games don't showcase tank brilliance(imba)

Bisu vs Flash from the 2009 WCG qualifier is pretty good and not too long (~15 minutes)

It was dragoons vs tank/vulture, so it works

Alternatively you could go with almost any Flash TvP from Winners League 2010 when he had that early game timing push that no protoss knew how to deal with

It doesn't have tanks, but its still quite short and exciting?

If you consider people screaming and freaking out as exciting then this game is perfect for him:

Probably pick a game from the Fantasy vs Jangbi OSL finals. Great shots of the crowd show how the progame scene is today plus good games.

oh yeah, speaking of shots of the crowd, just show him the Ace match of PL Grandfinals 10-11, Flash vs Best on Circuit Breaker. That way, he sees tanks (alot), the game is relatively short, and it shows him how big BW has become in Korea.

The Ace match was something I was considering before opening this thread, before I saw it's length. I figured he'd be really impressed at the play and the scene, but that'd be more of a second game to show him if he liked the first and was willing to sit through a longer one. I will check out the Flash vs. Bisu one, epic goon / vulture micro would likely impress him, as he would have never seen that kind of thing before, though he knows what a Spider Mine is and does. I'll also check out forgg vs. Effort, and pick one of those.

Thanks a bunch guys!

be sure to show him the intro of the Korean Air OSL (in forgg vs effort). It was pretty cool.

You could also check out some In_Dove VODS to watch in first person. I think that's something he would be awed at when he sees a former BW pro go at it at ridiculously high apm.

Flash vs Best, Nate MSL.

Not too long, and its a good show of sieging the opponent to death,
