July vs Best, Second match when July does his drone drill and the camera shows Bisu expression. That's not the same kind of emotion that the OP means, but that was pretty awesome to me (zerg fan).

Yeah that was really priceless!
That expression said so much! It just goes to show how strong July's ZvP was at the time, when Bisu's jaw litterally drops when he's thinking "daaam I don't want to be in Best's place right now, I would have been totally screwed too!".

This may be MSL, but I love the look on Saviors face as he loses to Bisu 0-3. Best moment in all of SC history, truly. Witnessing Bisu completely destroy and dismantle the best zerg ever gave every single protoss hope and confidence to finally turn the tables in PvZ.

You're quite evil : )
I'm not a savior fan, but having been a competitive athlete I can't help but feel really bad for anyone who invests so much into a competition but comes short of his goals.

sAviOr vs Iris Bo5 in Shinhan 3. Not only was it phenominal, out of this world, true heart and guts Starcraft, but the look on Iris's face after the game ...... people always tell you that if you give it your absolute best, and play 110%, you can do anything. Iris did just that, and he lost, and being confronted with something like that can be pretty draining. He is unable to even look sAviOr in the face when he comes over to shake his hand after the game.

sAviOr's expressions are also great. For a player known for being completely emotionless, especially in a victory, it shows just how tense the game was to see him slump his head down on his headphones and breathe this huge sigh of relief, followed by raising his fist to the fans.

When Jangbi got silver in the Lost Saga MSL he kind of reminded me of Iris at that moment. He couldn't even show his face anymore, he looked like a lost child.

It isn't of similar epicness, but speaking of Savior, I remember a game (I can't seem to recall the exact details) after his slump has started where he was sent out for an ace match in proleague playoff ace game(?) after he lost a game in the match (the ace was a ZvZ) and he won, then broke into tears. You could see how he and the fans have felt for a while, the realization of his lost bonjwaness in that moment, and it was truely sad

One of my favorite moments in eSports history, this was during the Proleague playoffs against YellOw[ArnC]. There are very few other moments that give me goosebumps every single time I watch them.

sAviOr burying his face in his hands after his 3-2 win against Iris in Shinhan3 and trying to hide his smile was also pretty emotional.

NaDa and July's golden mouse wins were also fucking charged with emotion, I love NaDa sprinting out of his booth to hold the Golden Mouse up to the heavens for his dad. That is the heart and soul of progaming embodied.

Boxer vs. Oov was SICK. Some really nail-biting tension in those games, seriously.
