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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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

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). | ||

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 | ||
