The most memorable game of sc2 this year. Really satisfying that classic could go out on a high note like this even if he wasn't able to take home the WCS championship. This game will be remembered long after the finals match is forgotten.

Amazing write-up as always Wax! Content like this is why I keep coming back to teamliquid decades later!

I'm not usually a very emotional spectator, but I remember this as one of the few moments in SC2 history where I was giddily bouncing in my seat and fist pumping at Classic's audacity when he pulled it off. It wasn't just the game itself, it was everything surrounding it. He was playing in his last tournament before retirement on the year's biggest stage in an unfavorable meta against the most recent GSL champion (who also proclaimed his race was favored in the matchup). Also it was the final map in the series in an elimination round. Everything was just perfect. Thanks for the write-up!

Classic have given us so much entertainment over the years, never a pushover and always so very crafty with his builds. Hope I will hear of him again down the line, En taro Classic indeed!

Great match, thanks.

Proleague was the best.

Look at Dark at the end, he is half the size then!
