November has been crazy


Having watched Special vs Classic again, I'd agree. This could be the best game ever. Serral vs Inno was pretty good but not one of the best games ever and regarding Rogue vs Inno, Ill have to watch this one again.

Serral-Rogue was one of the best games of all time for me. Up there with the likes of Taeja-Innovation in terms of raw skill demonstrated.

Also I recommend Serral-Dark game 1 as well from their series at blizzcon.


I agree. Serral Rogue was the most insane display of skill I've seen in 5 years of watching the game.

Some of my favorite Maru games off the top of my head this year.

Maru vs TY game 7 (GSL S3)
Maru vs Serral game 1 (WESG)
Maru vs Rogue (can't remmeber which game was best... IEM Katowice)
Maru vs Zest game 4 (GSL S2)

I also really enjoyed some of his more clean stompy games but I guess they wouldn't qualify for this list.

Problem with maru is either he dominates or he gets dominated by sOs... few examples this year when he went neck and neck with his opponents.

Serral vs Rogue game 4.
Maybe it wasn't as close as one would want for a game of the (insert timeframe), but I think that may have been one of the highest level, most consistently skillful displays I've seen in 6 or so years of watching SC2.

Serral vs Dark game 1 was similar in terms of sheer ridiculousness of what Serral was doing (he sent runbys to the third like 3 separate times while staying on top of production, while microing muta vs corruptor on the defense), but Dark didn't last nearly as long as Rogue.

Special v Classic was a good game, but I wouldn't rate it as the best game ever. Can't say exactly why(gut feeling). It just doesn't hit me as much. But it was awesome, no argument there.

I wish my memory was better so I could say why/what game surpasses it, but... ><
(well, hype-wise it's any Maru v Protoss game when Maru attacks from 3 different angles at the same time, so the spotters can't handle it while he can, but those are usually stomps )

Currently I'm thinking about some Stats game(v Serral at GSL v World?) when he was defending and attacking at 2 separate places, can't remember the map name nor tournament....

Sorry, my biggest nemesis, my memory, strikes again.

Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I think you thinking about Stats vs. Serral game 5 on 16 bit, it was a awesome game and also one my faves this year
Stats, Dark, Maru <3

Rain vs Maru on Vaani was better than any of these games and it never even made it on a best games list.

Yeah I rewatched the games and somehow the games weren't quite as good as I remembered. The hype probably did its part. Except for Rogue vs Inno - I still stand by my statement that it's a contender for best game ever. Just imagine that game in a finals casted by Tastosis... I think then we'd all agree on it.

Also vs soO at GSL vs the world, the game vs Classic on Acid plant and some of his games vs Rogue were awesome.
Not to forget the BC game against TY and him styling on Serral with mass nukes


If I'd make a top 10 list for the year it would be like:
1. Rogue vs Inno
2. Serral vs Stats
3. Special vs Classic
4. Inno vs Serral
5. Maru vs soO GSL vs the world game 1
6. Maru vs Dark GSL ro4 g1
7. Dark vs Trap IEM Katowice game 2
8. Maru vs Classic GSL ro4 Acid plant
9. Maru vs Rogue IEM Katowice game 1
10. Maru vs TY
Special mention: Maru vs Serral game 3

Lol. This is so shitty, Everyone knows that rouge vs serral was the best game of november, well maybe of all time. And its only on "recommended". That just shows how biased TL is.

Yeah, it's biased. Toward my views of how I enjoy games, because I'm the only person actually working on this. And my views certainly don't represent TL. And my views are that Rogue vs Serral is not my favorite ZvZ of the year, not the best game of November, and certainly not close to the title of "best game of all time". Sorry if my views offend you, but it's really all this article series has to offer.

Biased towards whom or what?

Also it's just a few (awesome) guys from the community making a list, they don't even represent TL.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
