What is this thread for?

This is a list of games that we believe are the best in HotS, with an attached VOD or replay whenever possible. You are encouraged to make suggestions in this thread, so that we can make this list more complete. Please include a VOD link when you are suggesting a game. The Best Games Thread Curatorial Board™ will make all final decisions on whether a game is added to the list (we may have Korean bias). We hope you enjoy this thread!

Also, please check out our massive Best Games of 2013 listing if you haven't already.
