God of the Battlefield was indeed just amazing. Everything about it, from the subject matter, graphics, writing, information, emotion, just everything was fantastic. Just a fantastic article and one of the pillars of good writing on TL. It was so sad that it had to be postponed for a year, but it was the right choice, I think. That was a legendary write-up about a legendary player.

Thanks so much, GM! I just finished Plexa's double feature on iloveoov and it was fantastic, I'll be reading through the rest of the articles in the coming days.

he kinda hates savior for the max fixing scandal if im not mistaken.

My feelings about savior won't affect my selection of articles, but Ver's final edit on savior is basically the most well known FE on this site (Elephant in the Room is arguably better known), with about ten times the comments of the other final edits (Plexa's Oov article, part 1, has 94 comments, Ver's has 1100+) , which means it "mainstream" enough for me to feel comfortable leaving it off a list of what I consider to be lesser known or at least more forgotten articles. Not that that takes anything away from how awesome God of the Battlefield is.

i have a penchant for old things

by X)Benny (who stopped being active way before i joined but he made a ton of the R&S threads for old OSL/MSLs), the whole thread is kind of fun. also a marshal in that thread but things didn't turn out well for him.

there's really a lot of really good stuff on here, doesn't matter if it's a grand glorious final edit or just some cute little post like that

i don't remember how i found it but somehow it stuck in my mind so now i'm sharing it with you... maybe it'll get out of my head this way. i also remember this old (P)

IntoTheRain interview i read where he talked about future of esports (and this was in like 2001) but i can't find it again.

Many Final Edits are worth reading. And more so, it will educate you about BW history at least a little.

You can find them here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=20

An seriously, you can hate what savior did with that match-fixing (althou, he was just a middle-man, althou, I don't want argue about that), but not include God of the Battlefield in the list?
This is a great piece of writing, you must admit it.
And I think Symphony of Destruction is also good.

The two other favorite TLFEs that wasn't mentioned in OP:
Only Until Midnight
Revolutionary Magic (this one probably because of Bisu-fanboyism

)
