Savior at his absolute best. When I saw the names and the screenshot, I remembered that I watched this game before and it was just insane. I watched it again and damn is it such an amazing game! Both players really pushing their multitasking to the limit. There was an Iris vs Bisu game that I remember watching which was also pretty epic. Someone also mentioned Bisu vs Flash on Katrina and I have to agree there, I watched that game years ago and can still remember the back and forth between both players. It's just too bad that we don't get games that are as long nowadays. Granted, when we do get the long macro back and forth game, it almost always ends up being epic so guess it's a tradeoff.

He ate storms with his hydras before there was even much of an engagement. This allowed Jangbi the opportunity to push the exp and win the game. Still a good game. It reminds me of a PvZ that I played once on FS. I got stuck to 2 bases and was contained against a Zerg who went up to 4 bases. I knew that I'll have one chance to break out and try to win it because I couldn't take a third and was mining out/mined out my 2 bases. I keep scouting around and catch an OL drop heading into my main. This allowed me the opportunity to finally break through and I hit the perfect timing. Was such a good game too. Maybe I'm the Jangbi of D ranks?  | ||

Not to be racist but I think the best game would have at least one Terran player. Not just because I'm biased by being Terran. Initially suppose it must be a TvZ with Flash or JD, or both, because of course late Kespa games should be better than earlier ones. The Tau Cross game is a great example. There was a like 25 minute TvZ game played on a space tileset in 2011? but I can't place it so I'm looking. It may even be a TvT like a Flash vs fbh, or Flash vs fantasy game. Or the best game may not necessarily contain one of the best players, because a game is a collaborative effort. There were lots of wild TvTs once late wraith switches started catching on. This is why I say it's not my bias. Terran has the best firepower. When amateurs split the map like that it may look slow and boring, but when pros do it there's so much calculation and pressure and volatile stuff being thrown and so many resources worth of units can be lost in seconds. TvP is a great matchup but not remembering one game. Fantasy and jangbi on God's Garden, or Lomo and Best in game 6, seemed tense at the time but I don't know if they would hold up to rewatch. Oh I found it it was earlier than I remembered, on Rush Hour. Duh. The Sea and JD game on Andromeda is classic. In general we should be careful about long games though. The game doesn't have to be long to be good, or a long game isn't automatically good just because it's a macro game on a huge map that takes forever to figure out who the winner is. Back and forth can be tense but also boring. But yeah the Andromeda one is great. When someone opens with BCs you know it's serious. | ||
