Idra vs Huk (the hallucinated army incident) Idra vs MMA (This was kind of both progamers making huge mistakes, MMA killing his own CC, and Idra playing with the mentality that he was behind)
There was that time when MKP nuked his own army against Drewbie at MLG Orlando. MKP ended up losing the series to Drewbie.
There was that time when Naniwa decided to worker rush in the Blizzard Cup.
There was that time in GSL (early 2011) when San blocked his own Nexus during a FFE.
During the GSTL finals at IPL 4, Bomber and MKP faced off in a TvT. Bomber held off MKP's siege timing, and dropped manner mules thinking that he had won. He didn't, and MKP ended up beating him and 4 killing Startale to give Prime the GSTL title.
blocking own nexus during FFE happened to MC when he was playing July too i believe
Oh yeah doesn't early SanZenith have a bunch of fails like that? Pretty sure he blocked his FFE with his own buildings once--and another time someone blind proxied him in PvP and he didn't check smoke on Metalopolis (4 player map + close positions at the time).

He also tried to manner baneling suicide HuK's 3rd base (arguable whether it was manner), and he lost a ton of broodlords by not protecting them properly. Artosis said that he was "breaking rules he (NesTea) invented!"
Just found the vod: November 2011 GSL code S, group A, ro16, set 4.
This was the first game that came to my head. Nestea had nearly an insurmountable lead. It's like he intentionally threw it. I could have easily destroyed Huk in the situation Nestea was in. He sunk insane amounts of resources into pure baneling armies that just got crushed and accomplished nothing, over and over.

He hit G to restart warpgate i think.. It was pretty painful because Husky was casting and he didnt even notice
Does anyone remember Incontrol in WoL beta rushing for sentry drops in close air on lost temple? He dropped his sentries, deployed the warp prism, warped inn a few more sentries..and then, instead of blocking the ramp, he decided to go directly for the enemy's assimilator and cybernethics core.
I don't remember who it was against though, but oh man the jokes! "iNcontrol showing that he is, infact, not in control".

11/11 vs 3 hatch gas before pool. Guess who wins. + Show Spoiler +
Happy did not even get a single hatch.
Foreigner version of this happened with SeleCT vs Sheth on Ohana for the Pokerstrategy.com league, Sheth didn't scout, still held like a champ against proxy 11/11.

Didn't scarlett hold vs a Korean as well? I don't remember which one. I think it was on Antiga. Scarlett vs Fnatic_Rain maybe?

Artosis sounded genuinely pissed casting these games lol
To quote Tasteless's post game comments: "That game was pretty bad, Artosis - that might have been the worst game we've ever seen"
I watch that and wonder if LittleBoy was getting paid to lose. That's the only way I could explain Butterfly ever getting into the GSL, even if it was from the early days.
"All right, I'm gonna fast expand but leave a big opening in my wall for you to run through with hellions. I'll only have 5 marines to defend your 6 hellions, so you should be able to crush me easily. Oh crap, I defended it. Let me just screw up with some banshee play and let him catch back up that way. Oh, no, he has no detection and isn't pulling his workers. Hurry up and cancel cloak. Well, I'm way too far ahead. Let me quit the game and tell them I disconnected. All right, let me do the exact same build, and hope he doesn't screw up his response this time. Oh good, banshees, how can he screw that up? Let me just "forget" to pull workers, and not bother to move any of my marines. Hm... I can't just sit here and not do anything. Since he has banshees to defend it, I'll just send a few tanks to his natural, and position them just slightly out of position so they can't attack his CC. Oh good, I'm finally way behind. Wait, he just suicided his entire army into mine. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Well, I guess, I'll have to suicide my army too. Damn it, he's suiciding again. Why doesn't he ever siege? I'd better feed him some more units. Hurry up and kill me already you terrible player. Finally! I'm dead!"

Also that game in the GSL recently where someone miscalculated how many banes it would take to kill a PF, saked loads of banes and left it getting repaired from 20HP. Ill try and dig up some vids now.
that baneling on PF wasn't a fail. He had more than enough banelings to kill it but the tanks killed more than he expected.
the random baneling donation is the biggest fail I have ever seen as of yet. Jjakji vs Leenock

Oh man...
Don't think this one was mentioned yet, but didn't Naniwa dance his zealots in MC's base in one game that he had almost won, only to lose because of it?
