As part of the StarCraft II 10th anniversary celebration, Blizzard SC2 team member and former TL.net writer Monk has compiled his list of best StarCraft II games.

Monk used to help compile and write the TL.net Best Games of the Year lists, and I'm glad he's let his elitist streak slip into these Blizzard articles as well

Check out these articles and the games! These matches have all stood the test of time, and make excellent viewing even 10 years after StarCraft II's release.

Ah yes Kiwikaki vs Stephano. There's quite a bit sitting around doing nothing, but at least the payoff at the end is worth it. Another game that it reminds me of from the same time period (where the sitting around was even longer, and the payoff was definitely not worth it) was Darkforce vs Mvp (also on Shattered Temple) for that Geforce event. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a VOD available for that one.

Bold choice putting MMA vs DRG ahead of Mvp vs Squirtle.

Yeah I'm not sure if I agree. The more I think about it as the years go by the more insane I realize Mvp v Squirtle was

Marineking vs Kyrix was mind blowing!

Also shout out to BitByBit. His games were, at the very least, highly amusing.

Mvp vs Squirtle not better than MMA vs DRG? wtf get outta here with that. Mvp vs Squirtle was arguably the best game ever played let alone just in 2012.
There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying till you run out of cake.

Just watched MK vs. Kyrix and... the lack of upgrades in so many old games always confuses me. 3/3 vs. 0/0 games seem so ridiculously stupid if you look at it from today's perspective.

It won't be too hard to guess what race the author of this list was playing and what year he stopped following SC2

Nah 2013 best game should be Gumiho Losira. Wouldn't be surprised if Taeja-Inno or Scarlett-Bomber takes it.
