REVOLUTIONARY!

If you remember that replay you're oldschool.

It's kinda hard to remember a replay of a game played 2years before reps were implemented in the game.

i think:

even though the build existed before... the Mech terran build with one vult harrass and valks that Fantasy used to school GGPLAY was a turning point in the way mech was used TvZ

oh man the things you had to do to beat oov...
also, rofl at the ad

Would Jaedong's 2hatch muta vs Sea on python count?
TLPD Vod
It really set the standard for mutalisks harass and aided in the transition from sAviOr's passive usage to the now common aggressive play.

edit: Game starts at 16:55

damn so many suggestions give me a second to watch the vods to see if it truly is revolutionary to the game. also, i decided the "fantasy build" is revolutionary.

This is the first time I saw the 5hatch hydra -> muta build used. I'm not sure if it was the first time but it is the oldest one I can remember.

I thought it was Luxury during some individual league; and the idea stemmed from that SC program star age where the commentator wondered why people didn't build Muta after 5 hatch hydra to snipe templar.

I don't think it's revolutionary. All the games mentioned triggered a gigantic and lasting influx of a certain style of play. I think that the 5 hatch hyrda -> muta transition is merely a trend, another development in the game. If you're going to recommend this, you must also recommend incremental advances like Midas' FD Rush or Anytime's 2 gate goon answer.

Other incremental advances rewards go to (in my opinion)
Jaedongs ZvT 2 hatch muta
Pusan's (?) arbiter transitions PvT
Flash's Fast Armory/Golaith Katrina build
Stork's reaver/expo/carrier style

I'm definitely missing some older incremental advances (I find it hard to believe that Oov, Boxer, Savior, Ra, etc. didn't make incremental advances.

The ensnare/wraith game was Jju versus iloveOov on Raid Assault II.

Well Firebathero vs Savior is not on the list because despite being an epic game, and the use of battlecruisers. It didn't change how starcraft was played for a while.

BRB adding the Flash Build

if anyone knows how the Carrier build got popular, and where it was first shown please pm me.

Well, it wasn't really a single game. It because popular because Stork used it to secure his position as a dominant protoss in 06-07 and it brought him a ton of wins. I guess if you want to stick a game to it, it was epitomized by his 2 base carrier rush on Katrina.

What about Jaedong versus Bisu on Othello when Jaedong did the hyrda --> muta (to snipe high templars). I believe that became the standard on many maps in zvp after that game.

Great choice overall. I'm going to re-watch all of them.
