No, I remember the one he's talking about, although, I don't remember who Really was playing.

Ensare!! Too bad I can't find one without English Dub. lol
I thought this would be one of the first things on the list. lol
Yeah, the list is still nowhere near complete. Both of those first two games you mention were games I would have added down the line, but I haven't even added all the games mentioned in the thread yet.
Some of it is at 10:28 of the Boxer highlight video.
I've never actually seen the full game, but it seems like a long TvT that ends up with a split map, BCs, and nukes. I assume there is no VoD anymore, but if anyone knows of one, that would be awesome.

I really wish the polls for each game werent "was this game worth watching?" but rather "was this game unusual enough?" lol.
I mean boxer vs hiya @ blue storm is one of the craziest, unorthodox TvTs ever. Right above that in the OP though, you just have the JD vs fantasy 4pool game. that game was awesome yes, but nothing too unusual about it (at least in terms of 4pools).
although i guess the truly unusual games run dry pretty fast lol.
still though, the OP is so beautiful i feel like crap for complaining about a lot of games not really being unusual lol. keep up the good work qrs
Please, feel free to complain about anything. I welcome criticism, honestly. Thanks for the compliment on the OP.
About your concern: you are not the first to raise it. Here is my earlier response. In the OP, I try to address this concern:
In terms of how to vote, it's simple: you've watched a game in this thread, expecting something unusual, or amazing or whatever you expect from a game in this thread. Were you satisfied? Vote "Yes" in the poll. Were you disappointed? Vote "No" in the poll.
I should note, by the way, that the JD vs Fantasy game you mention was one of the three games that were in the very first edition of the OP, so if that doesn't count as an "unusual game", then you can't even say that the thread devolved--it was never as restricted as you expected in the first place. For what it's worth, what I thought made the game unusual was a) the strategy used in the first place and b) the way it played out. Your mileage may vary, but after all that's what the polls are for.
Couldn't believe that there's only one Horang2 suggestion so far, unless I missed any. Worth watching just to see his face about 20 seconds into the game.
Base race into Lucifer frantically trying to find his opponent's last buildings while Chalrenge attempts to micro his last few Dark Templar and kill Lucifer's probe and cannons which are the only thing keeping him in the game.

Stork does some sort of fast expand, and Flash does a bunker rush, taking full advantage of the map. Flash sets up the contain at Storks natural, then Stork begins to ferry units out of his base using shuttles.
OK, so this is the one rule I think we should make for recommendations in this thread: try to stick to games that are at least a couple of months old. Reason being, there's a big difference between games that are exciting/fun to watch when they first come out, and games that are still worth watching long after they were played. A game loses excitement when it's not relevant to anything anymore, so for someone to still recommend it at that point means that the game itself must have been particularly memorable.
I'm not saying that the game you reference is not worth watching, but say, repost the recommendation in a couple months, if you still remember it.
(As far as the OP goes, btw, for anyone who has posted a game here and wants to know why it wasn't added, don't worry, but be patient. I'm still updating the OP, I still intend to incorporate everybody's input, the OP is up to game #75, aaand, I'm still not even done with page 4. So, yeah. Slow but steady. Keep watching; keep voting! Thanks.)
Game 2, Stork loses base, relocated, countered with well microed reaver, and brought in the 'scout' to save the day. Commentators are very excited when the scout appeared.
what was the game on colosseum when guy played 3 hatchery and put proxy spire on another expo where stays neutral sunken and hydra den in his main and tricked protoss?
The iloveoov vs Zeus match was frustrating. Zeus could have easily won with his last 4 goons if he had just runby the bunker, micro would have done the rest since iloveoov didn't have range for his rines...

I think it was great vs best or someone vs jangbi (ithink great or jangbi was in the game lol). I remember that game! So funny because the hidden spire totally didn't help at all (protoss still defending mutas just fine lol).
