Wow, great article and amazing work. Thank you very much!
But "LG-IMMvp vs StarTale_Squirtle" is in my mind one of the worst games I've ever seen. Bunkerish verging on showoffish play by MVP being counterd by the most deeply broken ( and thankfully removed ) mechanic in the game. Deplorable game, can't imagine why anyone would think it was bearable let alone good. You mean Mvp used his trademark defensive play and then Squirtle against every single prediction got the perfect engagement and won? Not to mention the story surrounding the tournament... Trademark defensive play, mvp, what? His trademark is his unpredictability. He uses any and all builds Terran has left. Yep, trademark defensive play. That's the general pattern of his macro games, though obviously he does play to win and will mix it up with anything and everything. Hmm, I don't really agree with that at all. MVP cheeses a lot. I mean, if you're saying when he plays macro games he plays defensive, well that's a given no? No you can play very aggressive macro games. Drops and stuff... Which he does.... Let me rephrase. I mean 4 drops in different places while pressuring all over the map. Mvp doesn't do that. EDIT: Well he did in his prime, but even then he did that while turtling behind a planetary and making a ghost tank army.
it's pretty rare for a terran to drop in more than two places at once; only people like gumiho and mma do that often

And you would call those Terran's styles aggresive macro styles

Are they being ironic or something with 2012 being the best year instead of 2011?
Dat 2 times more GSL tournaments than 2012
Dat NASL S1
Dat IdrA is relevant
Dat Jinro
Dat Destiny
Dat no one cares about LoL
Dat TSL3
I'm pretty sure they're talking about the games, not LoL or hyped stories or BM.

protoss most interesting matchup still at best as interesting as zvz.
maybe they'll switch protoss out for a new race in legacy of the void.

I see...Well anyways, I wouldn't say that is his trademark, not by a long shot. It's his versatility and unpredictability that he is so famous for (not to mention, that's why he has seen so much success in sc2).

the mma vs gumiho game was absolutely incredible, really glad to see it in the #1 slot. anyone who hasnt watched it yet really should do themselves a favor, it totally shatters the stereotype of TvT

Such a great write-up that gives proof that starcraft 2 really is an amazing game and worthy of following. That being said I'm deeply disgusted with hots and I'm not going to buy it in the near future anyways. With this article I can bask in my misery!

It totally shatters the stereotype of sc2 in general lol. I've followed esports since the very inception of it all (cs 1.3-1.6, bw, war3 tft, quake3, etc etc) and that game is easily one of the most intense matches I've ever witnessed. It's a shame we didn't get more games of that quality out of WoL (i mean we did, but not a huge amount).

Is it bad that this article is making me emotional?

Great job here. Putting into highlights the best games I've missed. Thank you very much for your work

There is no game between Alicia and MKP with sick orbital landing block with dt? that was the game i somehow remamber very well
|
HuK vs IdrA should have made the cut!

Are there 2010, 2011 lists anywhere?

Please keep in mind that gameplay alone is not the single criteria used to determine the games on this list. The Mvp vs. Squirtle game is one of a kind, and to think that it was match point for a three-time GSL champion vs. a potential royal roader in a GSL final, coupled with the tension building over the ten-or-so minutes leading up the engagement... The game in and of itself was not great, but it is the most memorable Starcraft II game of all time which should say something.
Point taken.
Can't argue with that.

Yeah, wondering that too... MMA vs DRG in the GSL finals at the end of 2011 will forever be the best series of Starcraft 2 of my life (especially game 7). That game beats everything on this list imho.

Yeah, that series had everything in it: the rivalry, a comeback from match point and a clutch final set that could have gone either way until the last minute. I remember watching it live while eating leftovers from the christmas ham. I was just shaking in my chair, it was so awesome. I've had a similar vibe only during the TSL3 finals.
