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


I think it’s fair for a few reasons:
1. MMA-DRG was a sick back and forth - during the course of the game, we could appreciate the brilliance of both players. Mvp-Squirtle was brilliance by Mvp, but also a huge mistake by Squirtle

2. MMA-DRG had a bit of a rivalry going by 2011, having met multiple times in earlier match’s (including a GSTL finals ace match) - Mvp and Squirtle has relatively less rivalry factor in that regard

3. Because the game went later, we saw a greater variety of units in MMA-DRG - the entire Zerg tech tree (except for hydras) was explored, whereas Mvp and Squirtle didn’t get to that due to the game being a lot quicker

To everyone in the thread debating why they put MMA/DRG ahead of Mvp/Squirtle: They didn't. They are different years and thus different categories.

Thank's for the great content! Mvp vs Squirtle was insane.

Hopefully the 2013 games are Taeja-Innovation WCS s2 (Newkirk) and Flash-InnoVation mlg dallas (Whirlwind) but I know they won't be that smart

The second game linked is the best TvT is sc2's history

Sorry to say it, but best series of 2015 was Life vs Maru. I know i know .... probably left out because of Life as somebody poitned out but really. As SC2 quality. Top tier. Also may it be the most watched series of SC2? 2.7M views

It's about individual games and not one of the games in that series was anything close to being an all-time great.


The Life-Dream series was just as good anyway

well, they didn't occur in the same year

That is a very good point Wax. I was supposed to say Gumiho MMA

I always enjoyed the Polt vs Stephano rivalry that dominated the foreign tournament scene for a few months (I can't remember what year it was). There were some super entertaining games coming out of that. Polt with his tank lines that seemed to stretch across the whole map.

So what's the difference between clickbait and an interesting OP when you're on a discussion forum?

3rd part is out. Agree with 2019 and 2017. 2018 picks are kinda questionable. 2016 picks I just straight up hugely disagree with, especially the runner-up.

The list of games I consider better than that particular TaeJa vs Zest game is too big for this thread but let's take some easy targets:

Before I left TL, I left them with this 2016 list if they ever wanted to make it into an article. You can see my personal rankings for all the games here:
