There are some good games here, but 2012's list was stronger I feel like. That's what I felt before I started writing this. But after rewatching pretty much every highly recommended game of 2013, I actually think it stacks up pretty well.
Last year's list was a scam anyway since there were no games from the most fun to watch tournament SC2 ever had: the MSI Pro Cup Worldwide EU Qualifier.
I don't think there was ever a tournament where so many matches were insane and incredibly fun.
For a taste, here's the biggest fight I've ever seen in a tournament game.

I find it interesting that out of the 40 picked games only 7 doesn´t have a terran included. And most of these 7 are bejond game ~30.
You can interpreted that in many ways, or even call it random but it could give us something to think about the decline of Terrans on the ladder.

I do remember that mvp vs innovation game like it was yesterday!

Amazing games, ironic that a liquid taeja tops the charts? No way, best TvT ever.

I was rewatching the Grubby vs Hasuobs game and I just noticed something absolutely sick!
At 48:05 in game, Grubby's archon carrier force was chsing Hasuobs' army away, Grubby intentionally targeted his own archon in order to launch his interceptors, which extends the carrier's range from 8 to 14, allowing him to kill the msc with the carriers!
Technically archons are faster than msc and there's not enough energy for a time warp, so Grubby would've killed it anyway with a simple a-move, but this just adds more awesomeness to the already super awesome Grubby!

maybe its a mistake on my part, but the timestamp for Mvp vs Innovation (game 7 in the list) seems quite bogus, as it leads to the first game on newkirk.

I lovehate how I always miss some of the very best games by a hair.
I got up at 5:00am to watch the GSTL finals between SlayerS and FXO and missed game one because my computer malfunctioned and I had to re-install GOM player.
Parental controls shut off my internet halfway through Mvp vs Innovation game two.
Scarlett vs Bomber was entirely missed by me because I was stuck in traffic.
I tuned into SjoW vs Life game three 30 seconds before the game ended.
At least I got TaeJa vs Innovation and Dear vs Maru :D

Certainly great games, can't debate that. I would add Scarlett vs Bomber, Life vs Innovation, DRG vs Innovation and Jaedong vs Maru to the list.

Scarlett vs bomber and Inno vs DRG is already on the list, dont rememmber if the other 2 are there aswell.
Might wanna check the list first before saying games are missing :/

Funny how the top 8 games of the best games involved at least 1 Terran. That kind of answers what drives the entertainment in SC2...

Not sure how you can say that, as someone who has seen nearly all the games on the list I can tell you that they are all of extremely high quality in and of themselves and they also get better the more you move up the rankings.

Well i watched some vods and holly shite - whats wrong with camera guys? Why they constantly zoom in to player faces? Are they trying to artificially create some tension? Because they suck and destroy the flow of the game as they always do that when something interesting is happening and am i always more eager to know did those vikings caught that medivac or hoe that small skirmish battle ended rather than looking at progamer faces for 30sec.. 10times in one match..
shame no one is bothered about that..

You can say it pretty easily when drg vs innovation is lower then scarlett vs bomber
