To celebrate the launch of nerdstomper.com I'm going to be doing replay analysis for community provided games. These games don't necessarily need to be your own but I do ask that only 1v1's are submitted. I'll be selecting a few replays on October 29th sometime so don't wait too long to post.
I'll make a VOD with my analysis of each replay I choose and upload them to nerdstomper.com where they will be available for everyone to watch.
Winners will be funny/creative/hilarious/scary. Do something to make me want to watch your game. No one likes boring. Post in this thread to enter.
Post replays in the following format

~28 min
this game took place around 1 week after the patch. as it seems to be impossible (to me) to play similar buildorders as before, im trying hard to find ways to beat zerg.
i think this replay is funny on the one hand, because you see me trying hard but also failing hard several times when adjusting new builds/ideas, although pretty nice moves are in the mix as well. on the other hand you might get a few ideas what could be good in pvz and what you really shouldnt try 
the other replay is mostly interesting to complete the storry as this game took place shortly after the recent patch (which means several days before the above). so i guess its rather for other people following the thread, who are intersted in my experiences against buffed roaches

i played protoss basically as before the patch but as i already lost several games to the buffed roaches, i tried to adjust slightly.
although i obviously mixed more mistakes in than usual (with a buildoder im used to), it felt a bit wrong how strong roaches actually were after the patch

Approximate Length of game ~40 min
Why I should select your replay: basically a 40 min TvP, I open hellion drop into a 2 port banshee timing push into M/M/M.. late game
I lose to zealot Templar even though i gain like a 40 food advantage multiple times.. and have better upgrades/macro/bases (my advantage is purely late game, he gets 3 bases just before i do but macros horridly had over 6k minerals at some point.. yet still manages to win)
This is a reoccurring problem for me even if i gain a huge advantage in TvP if i wait to long and Templar are out i sometimes lose even if i have a massive army advantage, that or it becomes alot closer then it should be..
some notes:
all my drops failed hard...
i know i probably should have gotten ghosts but i just never did...
transitioning to BCS might have been good?
Thanks

BoomerSVK (P) silver vs. Kaution (T) silver
Metalopolis
~32 minutes
This game was played today on the 21st of October. I'm still silver, rank 27, should be gold soon.
This is not a pro game at all, but it's pretty decent, there's large armies clashing, dark templars and banshees/raven harrassment, plenty of mistakes, but that's why I'm posting it. I know I've improved, but there's plenty of mistakes in my game and I'd like to improve, and having a game analyzed by a pro would certainly help.
Btw good job at day9's daily! Learned a lot about drops
Thanks!

You don't need to be diamond to get accepted. I'll probably prefer diamond in general but everyone deserves some love.
Entertaining and educational? I don't know. Post a replay and WOW me with your epic reason of why. I'm open to creativity/suggestion/mimicry (what does that even mean?)

I checked out the site, really like the video interviews.
Supposed to be advertising the contest, but I'll for sure check the site once in a while for updates, cool stuff.

QXC, i dont believe what they say about you anymore. not did i really at any point in time, but word on the street was that you were truly BM at heart. sorry to expose the pleasure you get from trolling iRL (as all the greats do), but it's more important that people realize you are actually gm and just hilarious.

Metalopolis
45 minutes
afj was ranked within the top 200 at the time and I was still just a lowly 1100 player. This was my first really epic game so I'm kind of proud of it. I had terrible micro during my first push which let him survive, but after that we split the map and it became an intense macro game. We ended up pretty much mining out the map and the final battle had just a few survivors.
Was playing on my friend allowicious' account which is why the name doesn't match.

Scrap Station
7.5 minutes
Why you should analyze my replay?
This is from when I was a bad silver ( I am platinum now) and I had a moment of inspiration when getting cheesed. Typically I would have died right away but this time my silver mind had a breakthrough.... I figured that he wouldn't have any units at his base!
Luckily it was scrap station with its super handy island expansion.
In the lower leagues cheese is very common. Pick this if you want to see the poor and bullied silver player finally have his day.

I love the name: Nerdstomper, just rofl. =]

It seems sc2 is becoming more like poker with instructional video sites and coaching appearing.
Good to hear because its going to raise the overall level of the players and will probably be the best way to improve until the pro scene for sc2 gets more settled and figured out.
Don't mind the commercialism and marketing with these because they are all from the community. Its the best way to let your name out as long as its not overdone.

Hey qxc! Thanks so much for all your additions and help to TL as a community.

Cross positions. Most of the available expansions taken. A constant presence of danger and conflict with myself using Nydus worm as efficienctly and as often as possible. Most units used. Protoss player transitions into mothership carrier when I tech to Ultras. Base race at the end between mothership carriers and Zerglings. Intense game. I lose but I really think this game needs some spotlight, but not for myself but for the game in general. If you don't cast it, I suggest other players watch it for entertainment! Thank you for the opportunity to be casted by yourself, QXC!

Whoever the Emperor names "Grack" shall be referred to as Grack.
Also: I really hate how top players ask for people to PAY to take advantage of their finely-tuned, diligently earned skills. I think that any money at all entering the Starcraft community can only make everything worse; to be clear, I would like for Starcraft 2 to be a really SMALL esport that does not become any more popular or successful. For this reason I object to qxc analyzing people's replays.

because it is tvt and qxc is t and he probably likes to watch tvt and this silver zerg mainer beat a platinum terran mainer, who has beaten top diamond zergs, and three games in a row consecutively on lost temple.
first game: he opens rine ghosts, takes our my initial squad of marines, and then takes out my second batch of marine/marauder/tank. eventually he produces some banshees which dont become so useful as he techs up and goes into thors and im sending heavy tanks with marines. he asks for rematch. 2nd game: I open up 4 rax.. 3 reactors and 1 tech. stim/upgrades. just pumping out rines. his initial marine play ceases and over commits to several banshees which quickly lose value as I use scan and eventually get ravens. many rines. he wants a 3rd match. 3rd game i start off with a fail mineral split, he goes mass marauders with initial 3 tech racks, I go with double racks and defensive bunker as i tech up to factory/armory, getting a couple tanks and a thor, being marine heavy. no stim and late attack upgrades. he has mass marauders with stim,. I ass some banshees, and defeats his marauder army. i push into his territory with rines/banshees. and eventually ggs. one of the games i do a 23 orbital.

New / scary / creative way to abuse the lack of good anti air of the protoss forces.

A lot of ninja expos to keep the gas-economy going. Micro battles and macro of different forces makes it a good example to comment on i think. gg

Espe (Terran) vs Bosko (P)
Lost Temple
This replay features me (around 1350 Diamond Terran) vs Bosko (around 1250 Protoss) and is a huge 38 minutes long. Key features are : a lot of banshee harass, a few, but not that many drops, pretty sloppy midgame macro that almost cost me the game (but got better after the shock that i might lose if i slack more). I also missed quite a few good timings were i could have ended the game earlier, but was to scared to push out. The game ends with a double planetary fortress /tank/Battlecruiser push from the hidden lowground into his main
So, you should cast this because of : a huge amount of fails to point out in a lower diamond game, a lot of action, and because of the last push.
You should NOT cast it if you tend to get heart attacks while seeing people far ahead with huge chunks of minerals not ending the game because they are to dumb, or if the game seems to be too long.

Why you should select my replay. Fast expand vs tier one army has never looked so awesome! This game goes back and forth about 8 times and shows how dynamic the TvP match up can be and also shows key timings where games can be won or lost. Lots of Insane aggression. It is THE closest game I have EVER played. There is enough mistakes here to critique but more than enough action for it to be super exciting. Probably the best sub 1k diamond replay out there.

SpoR  1650 vs. nev 1400?
Blistering Sands
25 minutes?
This is one of the trickiest maps for ZvZ because of the D-Rocks, it makes any macro expansion based builds impossible. Nev opens up with speedling baneling tech and expands while I go +1 roach timing. I decide to attack into his main and he moves the crawlers inside, so I double back around to the nat, meanwhile expanding myself. He has teched to mass hydra at this point.
We eventually trade armies and bases but still have drones/econ with not enough to finish each other off. He begins to pump out mutalisk and I switch into infestor hydra and spores and try to harass with infestor while I build up. It's a really close game few mistakes were made from both him and I to be discussed.

Almost every PvP I play, I go collosus and so does the other person. Usually I lose, probably because my micro is not as good as the other person. So after losing a few PvP's tonight, the nerd rage built up and I decided to try something completely new, because I didn't want to see another goddamn collosus. The idea is that you go voids to take care of collosus and when they go really stalker heavy you crank out lots of immortals. The mothership is Icing on the cake.. I <3 motherships. But yeah, choose this one because everyone and their mother goes collosus in PvP and this is something different. And there's a mothership.

I really hate getting T vs a T player, as the games feel stagnant, but this game felt a lot more volatile. The advantage was back and forth throughout the game, showing the weakness of a fast expand, and the importance of early air control. Late game is an example of keeping your army in a strong position and being able to macro well when you need it.
