can somebody link me that game which was according to this article the biggest throw in sc2?

Stuchiu probably means Revival vs ByuL in WCS AM, but that wasn't really a throw. ByuL committed to mass muta and Revival eventually got to a hydra/roach/infestor army (even though he had no income compared to ByuL) and forced ByuL to suicide on 9 spore crawlers

it was a huge throw. Byul was so far ahead he could have just transitioned to roach hydra himself and stomp revival. but he just kept making mutas and suicided them.


Yes, definitely the biggest throw ever. Bigger than anything Nestea had ever done even when going full-Zergbong. An unbelievably frustrating game.

Hell, he was so far ahead he probably could've played it even safer and gone into SH/Muta. Especially considering he had a wall of spines around his two mining bases.

True, he was "the guy who was retired for somewhat fixing matches"

The guy isn't even top 10 :/ Was a beast though on his prime thats for sure.

When he retired he had won more premier titles than any other player in SC2 history. You are either seriously deluded or you know nothing about SC...

I think that statement says more about Flash's performance in SC2 than anything else.

Life and Taeja also were on the same clan, NEX

Also, Sage was the coolest protoss back in the day
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

The reason this rivalry isn't told...is because during Taejas height, and the times when he was able to best Life...Life wasn't playing full time because school and Taeja was...Taeja has also never won a tournament on Korean soil...so yeah...I will use more(...)now...

lol the greatest rivalry never told I think is Parting vs Kespa. Parting single handedly changed the pvp and pvt meta. Stuchio I want a Parting article.

This honestly feels less like a real article and a more like a "TL is the greatest team hurr durr bias? never heard of it!".
