Starcraft 2 has come a long way in skill since it was born. It started being a blob vs blob game, but we have been seeing much more micro and smart-thinking as the game grew older. Of course, the skill level hasn't stagnated yet and it will grow even higher, we can see little flashes of it every now and then.
In this thread I'd like you to say which ones have you seen. I'll start with mine.
1. IMNestea vs IMMVP: Nestea is suffering high aggression from MVP with few marines, so he times his zerglings with his dying hatchery to kill the marines with the combined attack of zerglings and broodlings, great move. But MVP reads it and waits for the zerglings to pop out to kill them and then kills the hatchery, another great move.
2. I don't really remember the game. It was a TvP, the Protoss player has charge, so the Terran player sends one unit to activate the charge just before the engagement, great move. The Protoss player rapidly presses hold position on his zealots to avoid the activation of charge, another great move.
They might not seem so spectacular, but in those tension moments, you really need some awsome players to pull those moves off.
The way he abused the fact that stephanos army was very immobile, and recalled his entire army in stephanos main base while Stephanos army is on the seond part of the map.
nr 2 looks pretty standard to me, Terran sends 1 marine to scout ur army insted of wasting a scan and protoss not wasting charge / showing that he has charge

Wouldn't it be easier to just turn off the autocast?
1. MvP vs Top GSL finalen game 1, insane attack on the main base. 2. KiwiKaki vs Stephano with recall, that was absolutely brilliant. 3. NesTea and ... everything he does. But especially the 4 hatch safe play with 80 drones vs Protoss forge expand, that overnight turned forge expand from a really hard build to play against, into a really easy zerg favored protoss opening. That build changed the matchup so much, with all his timings for evo chamber, spores, gas, queens, spines, perfected, to be safe vs anything.
