Pretty sure Jjakji vs Leenock was October 2011, not DRG vs MMA. | ||

Sniper vs Hyun was certainly not no. 8, it was one of the worst finals ever, I'm not even talking about the gameplay, because it doesn't matter.... It was during IPL, the entire GSL playoffs was completely being ignores, it almost had a status of being a lesser tournmant in comparrison to the IPL, and everything was just so hidden. It felt like this finals was some underground thing, which is just... wrong... | ||

I don't know if it's because it was Day9 endorsed or what, but there's no way Scarlett vs Bomber was the best of all time (not to say it wasn't incredible and I wasn't shitting my pants watching it, but I think it loses handily to Nestea vs sC and MMA vs DRG/Gumiho, among others). And that Dream Scarlett game was fucking bonkers, I'd rate it above the vs Bomber one as well.

My top two are Mvp/Squirtle and MMA/DRG, possibly in part because my two favorite players won and I was riding a completely insane emotional roller coaster during them from the 3-0 to 3-3 to 4-3. | ||

Nestea vs Sc was enjoyable but it certainly isn't close to some of the more recent tvz's that have been produced. Enjoyable...? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=220213 Feel free to open up any page from around 128 to 160 and tell me that anybody watching the game thought it was just "enjoyable". I get chills from just looking at that thread. | ||

From it being heralded in 2010 (er... super early 2011 I guess? my memory is foggy), by the Startale vs IM GSTL finals, to the never before or since in a GSL match battlecruiser vs mothership core (unless I'm mistaken?), hell I even thought that game 5 and 6 were great, though I realize my opinion is in the minority there. To finally, MVP being the king of wings. It takes a true champion to pull off a move like that in game seven. Proxy 11/11 rax? No way. NO WAY does a person of such infinite starcraft stratigical depth as MVP do that in the most important game of the night. This was the SC2 equivalent (I think?) of Boxer bunker rushing yellow three games in a row. What a finals that was... I think Jaedong and life play risky strats a decent amount in important games(Jaedong in BW and in SCII(6 pool Scarlett in a BO5 to win for ex), life in all the early pools and such). I think it was a great idea by mvp to pull that move off. If it didn't work though, we'll be talking about how Squirtle defended against the 11/11 and that mvp made a bad move lol.

I get chills from just looking at that thread. The Nestea vs sC games were very enjoyable from what I recall. Surprising that I still remember exactly how game 5 ended but man, that game was ridiculous. Such a close game as well. Crossfire is a terrible map for zerg, too many chokes and such. sC played really well but I think he overstressed a bit but he couldn't just sit back and allow nestea to make more units without engaging. Thinking back, I do think that the ending wasn't surprising when you consider that nestea had infestors to fungal(I think it was still 8 seconds at the time) and it was like 15 marines or something with tanks for sC so with fungal and some of the zerlings/queen/mutas, he could hold. | ||

Jjakji vs Leenock was also amazing and deserves a high ranking, but I fear it will be overlooked because the players weren't super popular at the time and Jjakji especially has never been a fan favorite (despite having one of the coolest names in SC2). Just thinking about them really makes me miss 2011 TvZ  | ||
