The best game comes from the best matchup? What are the odds! The matchup where positioning is a constant and large factor and defender's advantage matters the most--I agree it's the best MU. All of the stuff that makes the other match ups great is present too, aside from variety of two different races clashing. I'm a little surprised that MMA Jaedong game didn't make it onto the list (disclaimer, I don't make much time at all for PL or GSL, so I missed a ton of good games), though the top two games were pretty obvious. Actually, the Scarlett game would probably not be top 10 if it wasn't a foreigner, but it still deserves a top spot because we really needed some foreigner love. I like that Grubby Hasuobs was there; I thought it was more like top 10, but again I missed a ton of Korean leagues this year. | ||

It shouldnt be top 10 and it shouldnt be there just becuase foreigners need "love".. | ||

That game was artistry. It had everything we love about Starcraft 2, and it featured decisions that lesser players simply aren't capable of even noticing on the fly, let alone executing themselves. Amazing, amazing game - I'm so glad I watched that live. | ||

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 | ||

Coz Scarlett/dream on red city had the same tension in it and was waaaaaaaaaaay better skill wise lol. | ||

I understand subjectivity etc etc, but objectively speaking.. that was an amazing game (taking the standard criteria use to determine a "good" game) | ||

I'm not saying the most overhyped game should be considered the best game, but all the things combined just made Scarlett - Bomber really special and good. And I wouldn't really agree that Scarlett vs Dream was a higher level of play, tbh. | ||

Don't think I saw it in the top 40 but I figure it belongs in the "games we remember for all the wrong reasons" section. Great write up, will have to check out some of the ones I missed. Wasn't that against Keen? Must have been OSL... iirc. And I disagree that it should be "remembered for the wrong reasons"... It resulted in a Hellbat nerf, what's bad about that? :-P (edit: ok , one could argue that might be a "wrong reason to remember a game" if I think about it...) | ||
