Can someone find this game for me? It was either GOM or PL; Jaedong vs a toss on Katrina, where Jaedong denies the toss's third like 4-5 times with just mutas (sick control, sniping the nexus, pylons powering cannons and even fucking ARCHONS). That was pimp.


That's probably the semi final in first season GOM Intel Classic. Jaedong showing some of the best ZvP play Ive ever seen against YoonJoong.

Might have been against Much and Chalrenge - both PL matches too. I remember the game against Much, where Much didnt leave until he was practically eliminated The Chalrenge game was rape too IIRC.

No that was the quarter final.

I think he was nominating that game, not saying it was a ZvP.

Jaedong vs Lomo on Katrina game 3
Noone will ever surpass that level of play, that was just plain godlike. I doubt even jaedong can surpass the way he played in that game. No words can describe it. If you didnt watch the game do so now.

My favorite is without a doubt Savior vs TT on Requiem (proleague). The ending to that game was BY FAR the most epic thing I've seen in starcraft.

In no particular order, some ideas

Mind's wallout

One of the coolest rush strategies I've seen in awhile.
+ Show Spoiler [Mind vs hyvaa on Neo Requiem] +




July's Drone Drill

I think we all know what this refers to.
+ Show Spoiler [July vs Best on Troy] +




Nada's Allin
What's a guy to do when he wants to break a tankline without any tanks or air of his own?
+ Show Spoiler [Nada vs Frozean on Byzantium 2] +


Flash's Eraser
Your nat, back on the unbalanced Blue Storm 1.1, has been destroyed and there are guardians hammering your main as your zerg opponent mass-expands.How do you deal with the guardians?
+ Show Spoiler [the answer] +
eraser them, obviously

http://www.gomtv.net/videos/27

free's DT confusion

There is a DT in your main. You have no observers, and your cannon is still about 30 seconds from warping in. Is there any way of surviving other than a pimp play?
+ Show Spoiler [Bisu vs free on Byzantium 2] +


firebathero's proxy block
(If anyone can think of a better name for this one, let me know)

Once upon a time, protosses built proxy gates behind the nat minlines on Destination. Then they stopped. This is why.
+ Show Spoiler [Bisu vs firebathero on Destination] +


Stork's carrier protection
(this name sucks, let me know if there's a better one)

Honestly, a lot of this game, especially Stork's strategy(proxy 2base carrier rush) is worth a mention, but this little piece of the ending had to be the best. Despite destroying Stork's main with dropships, Stork had destroyed forgg's main as well, so he tried a desperate switch to wraiths, managed to scan and kill the observers, only to be met with...
+ Show Spoiler [fOrGG vs Stork on Troy] +

+ Show Spoiler +
Stork shooting his own carriers with his corsairs to take down the wraiths.




Flash's Bunker Rush

How to abuse Medusa.
+ Show Spoiler [flash vs bisu on Medusa] +


Jangbi's Push Break

Do we all know what this refers to? I think so.

It's worth noting, by the way, that Jangbi's storming in this entire game was ridiculous, not just the push break.
+ Show Spoiler [JangBi vs NaDa on Othello] +


Boxer's counter-proxy

Is a list like this complete without a Boxer game?
Note: Unlike most of the others on this list, this is pretty much a full-game thing.
+ Show Spoiler [BoxeR vs pepe on Colosseum 1.0] +
Boxer is green, pepe is yellow


Rage's Defense
(This one is borderline at best, but whatever)

In a game somewhat reminiscent of the infamous game between firebathero and Savior on Python, GoRush destroys Rage's main with waves of ultraling drops, only for Rage to move to a brand-new base. Despite losing in the end, he holds off Gorush's attacking waves for an impressively long time. At one point, despite this being on Colosseum 1(meaning there are 16 total bases), Rage and his 3 bases appear to be on the verge on starving out gorush and the rest of the map. Rage ends up using every unit(except arbiters, carriers, and scouts) and every non-arbiter spell, while gorush uses literally every possible unit and spell.

Highlights include:
    Gorush spotting a group of observers, ensnaring them, and killing them with a group of hydralisks, only to find out that they're hallucinations
    Rage using a mind-controlled overlord to mind-control a burrowed lurker, and then using that lurker to kill another burrowed lurker
    Said overlord picking up a parasite later
    that overlord finally getting ensnared and getting killed by hydralisks
    Spawn Broodling
    Feedback
    Hallucination

+ Show Spoiler [Gorush vs Rage on Colosseum 1.0] +
Note: I started this at the beginning of Gorush's attacks on top left. It will be slow at times, especially around 40 minutes in.

Yes, there were quite a few people arguing adamantly that Lomo threw the game for Jaedong. Or at least, a loud minority.

Amazing game though, no doubt. Jaedong was literally everywhere.

Yeah, but it was proved convincingly that it wasn't thrown.
I know people are going to say how Jaedong wasn't godlike in that game, but even IF he wasn't that game was the best TvZ I've seen and deserves to be in the Top Plays of 2008.

My favorite plays so far this year were:

Some zerg in gsl I think going proxy hatchery on andromeda vs flash, and then get a nydus up in flash's base that was really cool, he ended up losing it though, such a shame.

Other one was hyvaa I think going queen/ultra against flash on andromeda, lost due to bad scourge micro and late defilers but the queens worked so well.

I think the zerg was Juni, even though it was pimp the strategy failed and flash countered amazingly.
