Terran is in 80% of the games in the top 40, 87% of the top 30. Terran confirmed as most exciting race of 2013.

I'd imagine the other years have been something similar.

Really glad Taeja Innovation is number 1. Skill wise that game has been BY FAR the highest level play from both sides we have seen. Both players were just so on top of everything. Bomber Scarlett was nice and all but was more just that one moment. Tajea Innovation was what great SC is truly like.

Totally agree with Innovation v. Taeja for the #1 game of 2013. Of all the SC2 games I've watched, I remember that game distinctively and being at the edge of my seat the whole time.

I kind of understand leaving Gumiho Losira (or kangho cant remember which it was at the time) off the list because it was WoL but it happened in 2013 and deserves to be top 10 without a doubt. That game was INSANE

It was already on last year's list (since it was released around HoTS) so it wasn't included again this year

Awesome writeup agreed with nearly all the games and their rankings, I still can't believe that I have nearly seen all of the games on the list and that I could fondly remember almost each and every one of them while reading trough the article.

I am happy to see Taeja vs Innovation indeed made it to NR1, well deserved, the greatest game of SC2 I have seen all year, right up there with DRG and MMA in terms of back and forth action and display of skill.

The only game I am surprised is completely absent from the list is Mvp vs Dimaga on Newkirk from the WCS EU season 1 RO8. That was such an impressive display of skill from Mvp to survive in the face of such odds where, after the initial engagements his supply could never go past 130 mark, and yet he still held against all the tech switches.

lol u guys forgot the most dramaticly game of the year.. Life vs Parting with the early pool by Life and the strong hold by parting (probably because of the critizined lower game speed) .. it was in the group of death in gsl too

Sweet, glad you guys did another one of these. Much appreciated :D

though...unlike last year I totally disagree with quite a few of these and a fair number are missing. #1 choice is also overrated imo. Finest display of sc2 skill? Please. Granted I dunno what I'd rank as #1 myself, but I know it has to be a ZvT.

I mean where was Symbol vs Jjakji on Frost (HSC VIII 3rd place match)? Jaedong vs MMA on Derelict (WCS s3 finals)?

Glad someone had the good sense to put First vs Keen in the top 5 though. THAT was the best TvP of the year. Dear vs Maru? pfft.

Pretty annoyed at Suppy vs Heart being on the list. In my opinion that should be on the Parting vs MKP award list.

I remember being completely breathless after having watched Grubby vs. HasuObs (#36), it was an amazingly entertaining game.

Scarlett vs Bomber at Battle Grounds was honestly a mediocre series but, as usually, it got overhyped.

It was incredibly exciting. Whether it was well played doesn't necessarily mean it can't have been one of the most tense series of the year.

Surprised Sjow vs Life was so high since Life played like some diamond player in that one.

Pretty good list other than that.
