np, but #30 doesn't have a link to the game.

Also you left the part about needing a gomtv subscription on #20, #19, #18, and #13. :o

all i gotta say about #2 is that if one of them wasnt a foreigner, it wouldnt be that high.

Everyone focuses on the banelings and they were a great capper but that whole game was insane. I don't care a whit about foreigner vs. Korean, but I can't argue with that being a top 5 game.

The game I don't understand people lauding is Blizzcon Dear vs Jaedong Game 5. You know, the game where Dear tried a 2-base all-in and JD killed it super easy? I've seen it nominated for various game of the year polls and people suggesting it should be in this top 40 when there is absolutely nothing interesting about the game--like we never see people stop a 2-base blinkstalker all-in? I guess in the eyes of some, any game that leads to Jaedong winning an important series is automatically in the running for game of the year? Sad thing is game 3 of that same series actually WAS a really good game (though not top 40) but Jaedong lost so no one cares.

The reason it is so applauded is the storyline and how jaedong did it.

For starters you have to remember this is blizzcon, ro8 and everybody (well most) said Dear was going to 3-0 jaedong ez pz. So Jaedong ties the series up (after being down 2-1) and then in the 5th game crushes that all in when the protoss army walked over burrowed units and got crushed.

I remember watching it and the excitement of that game was crazy. That's why it's so popular. If you didn't watch it live, nor care really about either of the players then you probably won't understand.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I don't know--I understand what you're saying but to me it's still just "It was awesome that Jaedong won that series,"--no matter how cool you think that was, the GAME ITSELF was pretty uninteresting, and while the series was certainly important, it wasn't even a tournament finals. I guess if Jaedong had won Blizzcon the new "best" game in the eyes of many would now be whichever game he closed it out with, even if it was a 6-pool.

Anyway, I'm not trying to be a buzzkill and am happy so many people found that series so exciting, I guess it just seems like people are voting for the "most important game for their favorite player" rather than the actual "best game."

This article is a sight to behold. What a beautifully laid out piece, I keep coming back for more VODs. Thanks!

I might suggest you change the link for #24 to the WCS website as it is in much higher quality.

Also thank you for putting this together, it's been wonderful going through and watching the games.

Why is it that every time scarlett plays a terran it becomes one of the greatest games of all time -_- ?
I'm surprised we don't have any Naniwa vs Jaedong in here (I remember one game where naniwa microed his voidrays and a couple sentries to almost victory)

I think that was Life vs Naniwa on Whirlwind from IEM NY Finals which almost made the cut

I can't help but feel that Naniwa got the shaft here. His 2nd place Dreamhack and IEM finishes had some really amazing games against top notch Korean players. His epic hold on Belshir Vestige vs. Life after Life had already planted 2 manner hatches? His proxy gates in game 7 vs. Hyun (and Jaedong!). What about his series vs. Leenock??

Shafted.

Meanwhile anytime Scarlett wins anything it's "one of the best games ever."

Stop hating on Naniwa, TL.

I think it may be hard, unfortunately.

Personally, I'm starting to find TL.net deficient for the first time since I'm following it, since 6 years. It's funny to see them not recognizing the best foreigner because of personal matters. I always though about TL.net as unbiased, but the truth is that they don't even try to be unbiased.
