Good list overall! Maybe I missed it, but 1 or 2 of the Life vs Naniwa games from the IEM final should have made the cut!

Foreigner beating Bomber with baneling mines GG other games.

Yeah... but if I remember correctly, Bomber was already beaten before the baneling mines. He had no medivacs, no bases, no scans. Scarlett had dozens of mutas with that sick regeneration, banes and lings

INnoVation vs Taeja was won by INnoVation when Taeja movecommanded and panikstimmed into Tanks at 15mins, and at 23mins again when he got a 50supply lead, yet refused to push.

Didn't Taeja win the game though...

Rhetorical question, yes he did.

That's what I mean.
At least it feels like 2013's HotS games were more sluggish and their beauty lies within wasted opportunities and suboptimal exectution in big amounts making for fast paced back and forth games, while in late WoL the games shone when perfect macro play got paired with that one or two strokes of genius. Maybe it's just a feeling, but I just needed mention it.

It's pretty clear that Terran is the most interesting race to watch, and I say this as a Protoss.


Or perhaps TL.net writers are biased...

TvT seems to be their favorite since the beginning of SC2.

Those statistics imply that tvz is hands down the most enjoyable match up to watch tbh

This list of the best games is a joke. How comes that none of Naniwa's games is on the list? NONE?


I wonder if you're biased


You guys are biased and I am biased, but at least I'm not doing media coverage


Several games from Scarlett, Goswer, Grubby, Suppy, Sjow and Hasuobs but no Naniwa? Really? You're reaching for new heights!

No Game from Stardust?

But beside that, good order, Taeja vs Inno was freaking amazing.

You cannot base such claims on a subjective selection of best games of the year by TL.net writers, because they are not representative of what games people liked during the year. If you let people openly vote on a neutral ground (e.g. Blizzard webpage) then you could make such claims. Otherwise, you are making such claims based on a subjective selection of games

Ps. TvT was selected as the best game of the years 2013, 2012, and I still remember the hype behind MMA vs MVP GSL final. Personally, I think TvT is just slow and over-hyped. (I know that the stats show TvZ as the most frequently appearing in the selection. Here, I'm just explaining why I focused on TvT instead.)

Inno produces such amazing games and people thinking Scarlett vs Bomber should be nr1 LOL its good but shouldnt even be top 5 imo.
Taeja vs INnoVation was just amazing easily best game 2013 and I was there to watch it live



Well, what does it need to be "the best game"?
The most entertaining one? Scarlett - Bomber was as entertaining as ZvT gets.
The most clutch series? Well, once again: Scarlett vs Bomber delivered as (almost?) no other game 2013
The most skillful? There might have been better matches in this regard, agreed. But still, it was a VERY high level play on both sides on a map they both didn't really know. And that's skill as well :-P
There are just other factors than pure skill which determine which serie's "the best". Skill is important, but it'd be completely wrong to say the Scarlett and Bomber didn't deliver skillwise in this match, imo.

Andthere were simply no matches where I was excited watching them as Scarlett vs Bomer and therefore... completely agree with the #2 spot. As I never really liked TvT... Scarlett - Bomber could have been #1 as well for my liking, but yeah, there are people who actually enjoy mirror matches, so that's fine :-P

Sorry but for me it wasnt as interesting as TvZ gets... Drg vs Inno and Curious vs Inno were far more entertaining imo hell even gumiho vs losira in wol was a better showing of tvz.
I enjoyed Scarlett vs Bomber just like anyone else but it is waaaay overhyped due to foreigner and Day9 screaming best game ever...
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

The last unit-tab in the Vod 1-2mins before the first baneling landmines happened was:
17 mutalisks (2/2)
11 zerglings (2/2)
2 queens (0/2)
vs
44 Marines (3-3)
3 Medivacs (0-2)

When they happened it was ~10banelings, ~5zerglings, 17mutalisks, 2queens
vs
~55 Marines, 3Medivacs
Same with the final blow up, the numbers were favoring Bomber, but Scarlett killed the OCs and Bomber ran into the trap.

Hm, I see, so it was more equal than I remembered. But he couldn't use stimpack because his medivacs had no energy and his marines were orange health, with Scarlett's micro, she could snipe medivacs and marines with her mutas and wait them regen time after time

Just re watched Taeja vs Innovation, I couldn't believe that my jaw was slacking a couple of times from how awesome the game was, even though I had seen it before. If only all MUs could be like that.
