Been playing since 2001 and have seen my fair share of games.
Would be great if we could list the most high quality games we've ever seen in a thread. Not looking at pimpest plays or the most entertaining ones, but simply the best skill and play, Broodwar at its highest level.
There's a great Flash fpvod where he goes 2 rax to counter zealots and just micros amazingly. It's on his channel but I don't know which one (it's a bit old). I believe the opponent is Mini.
its difficult to recommend games this days since they stream all day we no longer have the worry some to save them or hightlight one particular match, but have to say that Larva for Zerg FlaSh for Terran and Sky for Toss his late game vs Zerg and Terran is very sick
Bisu for PVZ Jangbi for micro/engagements (esp. storms)
Rain for tactical/strategic play (e.g., manipulating enemy army positioning). I think there were quite a few games in the last ASL like this, including a few masterclass PVPs and at least one really good PVT. Can't recall exactly which games though.
Am I misreading something or are the answers in this thread sort of off-point in relation to the original post? I thought the query is specifically about games , not players. That being said - I think this is a fantastic opportunity to put together a nice collection for all those who want to re-live the experience of watching a nice game or two. My input - most of the iconic games between Flash and JD in the Kespa era.. it's electric to watch them, and for a good reason. Two monsters clashing! There was a game between Jangbi and Nada where the former just put on a clinic as far as storm casting is concerned.. this was quite masterful in my humble opinion. Firebathero vs Saviour on Python was.. perhaps not amidst the very best, but quite a good show too. Of course it will be a crime not to attribute a lot of skill display to Bisu, I just can't happen to recall right at this moment any spectacular games of his.
Don't know what game it was but I remember Bisu holding off an early push from Flash with unbelievable dragoon micro. That was the most wtf moment I can remember.
I think this is the perfect example to see why all modern games can not really belong to this thread. I love and respect every ex-pro still playing the game and demolishing any newcomer, but honestly, they are not pro anymore, and nowhere near level they used to be at.
This said, they play with open and fresh mind and it's awesome to see how new strategies approach, queens come to play, etc. But no one can ever execute it like Bisu in this video or like sAviOr in his top shape. We must deal with it and appreciate what they gave to us in the past.

Especially the part where Bisu floats 1500 minerals on 2 bases. Get real, level is way higher now than in 2009, and games like this appear all the time (or better)

Yeah, this is why Flash destroyed everyone after coming back from SC2 3 seasons in row before his shape dropped down. And this is why WCG Russia 2008 champion g0rynich easily qualified to the top-16 foreign players in the SC:Remastered Pro Series while playing PUBG every day. And I can hardly imagine that being a top-tier zerg and terran player you can not notice how unclean things like muta micro is being executed nowdays. We still love and watch those players doing their job but cmon.
