Missed Classic vs Rogue blink DT + observer to snipe the main at Blizzcon 2019.

This is THE iconic Starcraft game for me. There are plenty of games that have hype moments, epic comebacks, and better represent what a given match up is meant to be like, but when I think of Starcraft, this game is what comes to mind.
What do you mean Immortals can't shoot up?

Fantasy vs soO -- The game where the banshee killed the final spine crawler to win the game just as cloak was about to run out. One of the most wild endings to a game ever

Boxer versus Grack.
Shitty but fun TvT.
The stuff of legend!
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

TRUE vs Fantasy on whirlwind
TRUE vs Patience at dreamhack, proxy hatch vs proxy gates and the last drone killing the last zealot at the very end
Rogue vs Classic on Deadwing. Classic canon rush every rogues's expands and rogue respond with double proxy hatch in the protoss main base.
And Rogue vs herO on Echo, with the legendary and unexpected baneling rain.

MMA vs DRG - Game 7 Blizzard Cup 2011

One of the best games in SC2 period - Game 7 of a premier Korean tournament between 2 of the best players, in a game that was down to the wire until the last minute


Kiwikaki vs. Stephano at IPL3

This was one of the earliest uses of the Archon toilet - unfortunately it became overused later on, but it was still notable because it felt so revolutionary at the time

--MVP v. Squirtle in the GSL Finals: BCs vs. Archon Toilet

--MVP v. Squirtle in Game 7 of the same GSL Finals: MVP goes proxy 2-rax with everything on the line

--Scarlett vs. Bomber -- the baneling land-mines heard 'round the world

--sOs vs. Bunny (?) -- proxy nexus to proxy DT shrine to proxy DTs to GG

--TY vs. Scarlett "game sounds" nuke -- the casters revealed Scarlett had been practicing without game sounds, everyone wondered what would happen if she missed a nuke going off, and a nuke hit her directly in the center of her army
--Scarlett cheeses Rogue out of the RO32 -- Scarlett has a flair for the dramatic.

--Idra ggs to a hallucinated army

-- Idra ggs after Taeja destroys his own PF on the gold base (bonus points for Day[9] and DjWheat's reactions)

-- Has makes his run at an actual regional championship, leading InControl to say "I'M JUMPING ALL THE GUNS! HAS IS GOING TO WIN BLIZZCON!"

-- TY proxy-raxing Classic to win the championship for KT Rolster

-- MVP bringing out a 2-factory blue-flame hellion strat to go up 3-2 on [REDACTED] in the GSL Finals, only to end up losing the next two games and getting Royal-Roaded -- this was also the beginning of the G5L curse

-- MKP **somehow** not seeing creep in his base when Byul spine-rushed him

-- Maru's epic comeback against Solar in GSL Super Tournament after his proxy-rax were almost completely shut down

-- Sniper and Hyun's Broodlings fighting each other in the trenches as we all realized it was maybe time to leave WoL behind forever

-- Innovation getting reverse-swept by roach/bane all-ins (and a failed proxy) in the GSL Finals against Soulkey

Well, those are the ones I can come up with off the top of my head -- how about you guys?

I think Idra gg to MMA after MMA destroy his cc.

I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Why are you spoiling the outcome of all these matches? I would have rewatched some.

The HSC final where Huk killed Naniwa in a basetrade he would otherwise have lost by miles, by blinking in and sniping Naniwa's last obs while Huk had DTs on the field. I was in the bar downstairs for that game, and we were going out of our minds.

Also JD vs sOs at Blizzcon JD beating favorites (Dear and Maru IIRC), casters building the hype and then sOs came like a wrecking ball

Every game in which BitByBit pulls SCVs to victory.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Scarlett vs DRG Game 2 of MLG 2014.

Scarlett lost the first game and is about to be eliminated from the tournament. She decides to switch to protoss and using a 7-gate build from the legendary Hitman (the NA ancestor of Maxpax) she beats DRG with blink stalkers. She went on to win the series (with zerg) and got 4th at MLG (one game away from beating eventual champion Trap).

It's got everything iconic about SC2: Day9, MLG, NA crowd energy, comeback with idiosyncratic (meme) strat, the great book of PBS #ProtossIMBA (it was during the infamous map-favored PvT blink meta).

very illegal and very uncool

also Polt vs HerO at IEM Cologne. Polt engineered a counter-attack / multiprong style that beat the current 'ìmba' Protoss meta and then had to go up against HerO's own multitasking-heavy playstyle with it

HerO’s ridiculous multi-minute push against Jaedong who’d earlier basically deflected it multiple times and HerO was basically dead. IEM Cologne I believe

Mvp Squirtle the archon toilet game. Mvp brought a whole new map-specific strategy that Squirtle was trying everything to break and failing, he pulled off basically the only play that could have worked

What makes Starcraft great in a nutshell, brains, execution and balls of steel all exhibited in a classic.

I will also echo that Taeja vs Innovation match for the ages.

Man I hope someone has a list and ideally backup of some of these games, just on the off chance the original VoDs disappear
