It seems a thread like this one wasn't posted before, after researching, so... I hope it wasn't posted before !

BIGGEST MISTAKES BY PROGAMERS IN SC2 HISTORY

The goal of this thread is to make a compilation of all the huge mistakes... those mistakes that changed an entire game, and all done by progamers. Yes, that kind of mistakes can happen to everyone, especially the greatest...

Macro errors, micro errors, miss-clicks... everything is accepted !

Enjoy !

–

Here's the one I remember ! I will sometimes add a few more to this first post, like the best...

(T)GoOdy vs (Z)Nerchio at GameCreds -
[french only, there is no english vod, sorry]
+ Show Spoiler +
Seriously... how is this possible? Building two bunkers at the WRONG side because he didn't see the hatch... really hilarous, especially Zerator's laugh!


(T)MarineKingPrime vs (T)Drewbie at MLG Orlando -

+ Show Spoiler +
MKP attempts to nuke drewbie's army. Drewbie dodged it. MKP didn't cancel it... and his entire army was on the red small point of the nuke at the wrong moment


(Z)Moon vs (T)BitByBit at GSL -

+ Show Spoiler +
Biggest baneling trap fail you have ever seen...


(T)MMA vs (Z)IdrA at MLG Colombus -

+ Show Spoiler +
Everyone knows what happened... MMA destroyed his own CC, thiking he was attacking the rock. He was really behind, but then, Idra does another big mistake... what about a ragequit ?


(P)HuK vs (Z)IdrA at MLG (2011) -

+ Show Spoiler +
HuK made hallucinated void rays and Idra, thinking they were real, didn't try to attack once more at all and immediatly left the game.


(P)HuK vs (Z)Leenock -

+ Show Spoiler +
For random reasons, HuK accidentally cancels warpgate. Really, don't ask me why he did that... I have no ideas.


(T)ForGG vs (Z)Stephano at WCS EU, Semifinals -

+ Show Spoiler +
ForGG, considering that there were too many banelings, lifted off his army into his medivacs. He attempted to go to Stephano's main, but mines decided to shot at this moment.
If ForGG went back instead of going in that direction, he wouldn't have lost that much I think...


(P)Rain vs (Z)hyvaa at WCS KR 2013 (GSL) -

+ Show Spoiler +
The end of a base race against those two korean players. Rain has enough to build another pylon and has safe probes... but it seems probes were sleeping... or Rain himself???


(T)INnoVation vs (Z)Soulkey at WCS Korea Season 1 Finals -
Game 7 at 22:40
+ Show Spoiler +
He knew there was mutalisks waiting for him (viking scout) but he decided to go for a 3 medivacs drop and get completly intercepted... I repeat: HE KNEW THERE WAS MUTALISKS THERE


(T)TaeJa vs (P)SaSe at MLG Dallas 2013 -
(20:05)
+ Show Spoiler +
SaSe engaged Taeja's bioball... but accidentally put his army in hold position, costing him the game, the serie and the tournament.


(P)First vs (Z)Jaedong at WCS S2 Finals -
(1:24:54)
+ Show Spoiler +
Jaedong attempting to bust First's third base. First micro'd pretty well with his stalkers when suddenly...
make sure you know how to blink BACK, next time k?

I think that was more Squirtle's awesomeness than MVP's mistake.

Here are some of my contributions.

Moon's Banelings.

There was something similar to this not long ago but it wasn't biggest goofs or mistakes, maybe something like "most memorable", except that can't have been it, because there were certainly a lot of things plenty of people hadn't seen.
I'll have a look and link it if I find it, but I feel like these should just go in that thread if it's something like "most unusual/amazing/funny/cool games in SC2 history", because although you could still create another index, there may well be a lot of doubling up.

EDIT:
OK so for one thing, on the first page of SC2 General, we have this which isn't so different in topic at least...

Who was it that detonated all of his banelings by accident against qxc on XC? Can't believe I forget, that was so unfortunate.

Ah, the other one I was thinking of was the Epic/weird/fun moves thread, so this doesn't belong there at least.

Wasn't there an MLG game where MarineKing nuked his own army and proceeded to lose against Drewbie? Granted it was a groupstage game (at least I think so) but still

Yeah, it was on Shattered Temple, I forget which MLG though.

The forGG vs Stephano hurts.. but I think even without the widow mine hit the mutas would kill the 3 medivacs full of units.
