Seconded, this is definitely one of the top 3 best TvZ games ever played in SC2 (it was by no means perfect play but incredibly back and forth, with almost every unit in the game used)
1. IMMvp v ST_Squirtle @ 2012 GSL Code S Season 2 Finals. - The atmosphere, the tension, the build-up... This game had absolutely everything culminating with that incredibly ridiculous Archon Toilet on the Battlecruisers. I'll never forget this game.
2. IMMvp v oGsTOP @ 2011 GSL Code S August Finals. - This was the first game I ever watched of the GSL and it is by far one of the greatest there has ever been.
3. MarineKing v Kyrix @ 2010 GSL Open Season 2 - Watching MarineKing's micro during this game was mind-blowing. It makes me proud to be a Terran!
It's hard to choose, but I think that my favorite epic moments boil down to...
#1: Blizzard Cup Finals - Game 7 / MMA vs DRG on Shakuras.
-That whole entire game in itself was an epic moment. The build up, the rivalry, the 3-0 to 3-3; it all came together incredibly. One of the only finals I bothered to watch live. It was worth the lost hours of sleep.
#2: TSL3 Finals - Game 6 / Thorzain vs Naniwa on Crossfire.
-Looking back, this was the first tournament I watched and I really had little knowledge of Starcraft 2. This moment wasn't as epic as I originally believed it to be, but that can just be attributed to I guess being more of a casual viewer at the time. Basically, Nani has a proxy pylon by Thorzain's natural, and Thorzain looked dead. But then he picked up his marauders in his medivacs which popped out at optimal timing and saved him. I had counted him out because the score was 3-2. For me, an awesome moment.
#3: GSL Finals - Game 1 / Top vs MVP on Daybreak / MVP thor + ghost drop
-Not much has to be said here. I didn't watch it live, I just watched the VOD. Absolutely insane. It made me an MVP fan for sure.
MMA vs DRG Blizzard Cup Game 7 I've always loved TvZ, and this game had one of the most intense build-ups and backstories in SCII history. Also helps that they had the best TvZ and ZvT out there, and played an amazing macro game. MVP vs Squirtle, GSL S2 Game 7 Who the fuck marine-SCV all-ins in the last game of the GSL Grand Finals? My mouth was open the entire game.
What about Polt vs Stephano at Assembly i think it was? the metalopolis game where stephano baneling busted and it turned into a insanely fun game to watch with all the constant battleing and marine microing going on, one of my favorites !

MKP vs Kyrix is probably my favorite TvZ of all time because it is THE game that defined MKP as the king of marines. The game that popularized Marine Splitting.

...and at the time it was so revolutionary, pretty much making only marines against banelings.
