For another pvt, I would say the game of (P)Bisu vs. (T)Hwasin GOMTV S3 on Zodiac. It was a great series as well but this game especially. Plus there was the drama who could forget that?

edit: tlpd-ized
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

Dunno if it's just me, but i feel many people are focussing to much on recent games instead of looking at some of the classics.

Anyway here are my pice:

For TvT

Boxer vs Iloveoov on Reqium is simply amazing, and deserves its spot on the list

Boxer vs Iloveoov on RoV from Shinhan 2005 OSL i think it was. Long game with loads of action, and two amazing battles to finish it off with.

Nada vs Yooi, can't remember the map, but the game where Yooi has the entire map and Nada is under constant attack

Dunno if this one is good enough to be on, but the deciding battle is amazing:

Nada vs Dongrae on Arkanoid. MAAASSSS BC battle

And this last one it just my personal bias towards this game as it was amazing to watch live

Nada vs Casy at Reverse Temple from Shinhan 3 OSL. Casy is down two games is fighting with everything he has to stay in the tournemant, really tense game

For TvP

My favourites are pretty much mentioned
Reach vs Oov on Mercury game 1 (Game 5 is really good as well)
Boxer vs Joyo on Paradoxxx
Reach vs Sea on Hitchhiker
Boxer vs Pusan game 3 (Not sure if it is top 5 of all time quality, but it's still amazing)

Oh and Rainbow vs Cloud with the MC is hillarious to watch
For TvZ

Again most are mentioned:

Nada vs Gorush on Luna from YATGK MSL final, second best TvZ of all time imo

Iris vs Savior on Neo Arkanoid obviously

Nada vs Gorush game 3 from the IOPS OSL semifinal. Can't remember the map, but the game is first of all really tense, and it has some amazing and close battles in it.

July vs Goodfriend game 5 on Forte from Ever 2005 OSL

Iris vs GGPlay on Python game 5 from Daum OSL, Defilers:D

For PvZ

I feel im am repeating myself when saying they are already mentioned -.-

Ra vs Savior on Neo Peaks of Baekdu from Pringles 2 MSL

Gorush vs Stork on Neo Requim from Sky Proleague 2005 finals SKT vs Khan

Ra vs Gorush on Forte from proleague

Reach vs Chojja on RH from some MSL i can't remember, but it was game 4 of the series

Dont feel like repeating what others have been saying anymore, but other good games are, as the best games imo in PvP and ZvZ have been mentioned.

But that's more or less the best games in my opinion, in the different match ups

Best game =/= highest level.


Of course it is.


IE you can take literally ANY proleague game and say "hey, these guys are way better than the players in 2003" while it may still be the most boring snorefest of a game ever.


See. That's your problem. It's like football analysts claiming a game wasn't any good because there weren't enough mistakes made so the game was boring. And it's probably true. But that doesn't mean it was a bad game. It just means it was a very good one and thus not very entertaining for some.

Best game is highest level. That's what the word means. Now I don't want to quote a dictionary. But that's just it.

This creates a lot of confusion and a lot of silly debate.

Every single person in this thread except for you clearly gets this, so stop trolling.

It's like saying "best movie" -_-

If you want to go ahead and make a "best games" thread using your definition go right ahead, and have fun trying to objectively judge the skill level differences between all the millions of games.

What the fuck happened to all the good sportsmanship that is showed in these games? For example, Savior vs Iris on Arkanoid....After Savior finally wins the gane, he goes over to Iris and pats him on the back. See the difference between the truely great players, and the flashy pieces of shit that just play like drones and think they are cool with there immature antics.

Nada vs Yooi, can't remember the map, but the game where Yooi has the entire map and Nada is under constant attack


Sin Gaema Gowon

When I first watched the game through Nada's FPV, I was literally in shock in how he won.
The VOD is up on YouTube on nevake's account (search nada vs yooi)

Bisu versus Savior, game 2 OSL on Katrina. Hope it hasn't been mentioned already.

The other two have definitely been mentioned but I don't remember it being mentioned. Boxer versus Anytime, game 4 @ RoV and Boxer versus Pusan, game 3 @ RoV.

The problem is that for the top 25 best games ever, not only do you have to weigh its game play merits but you also have to weight for the drama and history surrounding it. For instance, Reach versus Sea on HH is a spectacular game but it's just a OSC challenge game. These isn't that much story behind it.

The boxer vs anytime series had RoV twice and went to 5 games, so it must have been game 5? But as far as I remember, boxer got rolled that game.. What was special about it that I'm forgetting?


Wasn't this the one where Boxer got recalled and Anytime's units got destroyed by mines and Anytime finished it up with carriers. Maybe confusing battles from both games and I'm just blowing it out of proportion.

for TvT

Personally Iloveoov vs Darkelf on Monty Hall is one of the best TvT games I have ever seen. I won't spoil for the people who have not seen it yet (and I am sadly sure there are many of you). Enjoy~

"Oh! You have 1 million factory? HOKAY! I have 3! Sup?" - IIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOVE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVV!!!!!!!!!!


That's actually a great choice for the best TvT. I'll spoil it for everyone because it's been like a year now. It was Oov's last great game before he retired, much in the same way that that Savior's ace match ZvZ in proleague playoffs was a great game before he got eliminated from both leagues.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/media-25101/Nada-vs-HoT-Forever.html

A very old game but for all those old schoolers out there, this is nothing short of epic, possibly hot-forever's best game.

Far from the mechanical perfection of today's standards, the strategic and inventive micro both players utilized were an element far ahead of its time.

Couldn't find a youtube of it though.

TvT - watch last Xellos vs Nada on Wultering Heights from proleague. It deserves top 5 imo. At least top 10. It's really gosu game.
