I can't remember one of the players, but it was a proleague game a year(or might be in 2009), between Ruby and another terran, where Ruby was so ahead he started making like 20 starports pumping out wraiths. Can anyone remember this one?
I love this thread! I'll be watching these games over the next few days. A majority I've seen, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a second watch to remind me of how awesome BW is.
Hmm, I can't remember exactly who the players were, but I believe it was a 2008 PL game on Andromeda, a TvT where both players did some weird kinda cheesy opening. It ended up as a base trade, and eventually 1 goliath hiding underneath a floated rax against 1-2 wraiths. I wanna say... Hwasin vs. Midas???

edit: it was on fighting spirit
This is against Skyhigh.
edit: Other interesting games/builds off the top of my head:
Suny vs. Shine on Gladiator (Bacchus 2010 OSL): Suny pulls off a brilliant vulture+marine+scv drop and conducts something like an 8-minute bunker rush.
Guemchi vs. Sangho on Heartbreak Ridge (PL): Base trade that comes down to one player running out of money for scarabs.
A whole bunch of ZvZs involving Great.
Skyhigh vs. Jaedong on Destination (PL): Beautifully tailored snipe/cheese build, very creatively done.
Horang2 vs. Light on Destination (PL): Send one of your first Probes into the opponent's main. Let it sit there for 5 minutes before proxying a gateway. Profit! Also includes an MVP performance by Ursadon/Pandabearguy.
Flash vs. Jaedong on one of the Odd-Eye editions (Hana MSL, I think): A +1 armor Goliath timing push. What?
Great vs. Bisu (also Free) on Medusa (both PL): Proxy hatchery, mass sunkens and lurkers to starve the Protoss out.
Oversky vs. some guy on Katrina: Another fun proxy hatchery game. Proxy hatches are just great all-around. Also check out Hyuk vs. Zero on Match Point for more proxy hatches. Om nom nom,
Stork vs. SoulKey on Benzene (PL): Worth watching for an interesting opening, but nothing super wacky. Stork does a PvZ opening that he later states "is simply unbeatable".
Hwasin vs. Jaedong on Blue Storm (PL): Another nice cheese build. Terrans love cheesing JD.
Backho vs. Snow on Heartbreak Ridge (PL playoffs): Cannon rush, PvP? Yes please.
Movie vs. go.go on Heartbreak Ridge (EVER 09 OSL group stages, I think?): A proxy gateway, followed by a cannon rush, followed by targeting the proxy gateway with the cannon. Yeah that's right.
Flying vs. EffOrt on Heartbreak Ridge (PL): An Arbiter kills a hatchery. Later, a Dark Archon maelstroms an Ultra drop. Just another PvZ for Flying.
Stork vs. Jaedong on Central Plains (PL ace match): More people cheesing the Dong -_-. 3 gateways in the Zerg natural is just how Stork rolls.
Really vs. Jaedong on Judgment Day (WL): Another Terran cheesing JD, move along... actually nvm, JD decides he's had enough of it and pulls off a ridiculous defense. GTFO terran imba.
Daezang vs. Really on Medusa (PL): An ACE veteran taking out one of the best TvPers at the time with a hero Reaver.

Yes, hacklebeast mentioned that one earlier in the thread. Thanks for all the recommendations, everyone: I can't keep up with them, but keep them coming! They'll all make it into the OP eventually.
Ah my bad, I didn't think someone would get that one so I didn't read through the thread first . Hopefully some of the other games I listed aren't repeats though lol

Ha, nice edit! It will take me a while to get through all those... Also, fwiw, nothing wrong with seconding a recommendation someone else mentioned first.
The VOD for this game Flying vs Stats was only the first half. Base trade situation occurs at the beginning of the second half, linked here: + Show Spoiler [VOD] +
wasn't there a pvz on neo medusa? i THINK great and kal? not too sure. but i remember the zerg made a hatch for creep outside the protoss's base and made a ton of sunks/spores/lurks and the protoss couldn't break through.. anyone know what game i'm referring to? >< edit: nevermind. it was free vs great and it's in the list ^^
Hello, I'm sorry to bother you about this but can you include Battle Reports for the games in the OP? Really would love to see live reactions of TLers to these awesome games. I know I could definitely do it by just clicking through TLPD few times, but it would be convenient

I actually thought about doing that, because I also like going back and reading the live reactions, but then I wasn't sure how many people actually cared. I did start linking to TLPD pages, which makes the live reports just two clicks away, but I'll put direct links to the LR on my to-do list now.
Awesome thread, I feel the same way about old games especially if the quality of the video is low. I've only watched the boxer/hiya game so far, planning on way more
Can anyone find a PvT Im looking for. I think its Stork vs Iris On byzantium Stork proxies a robo in the middle of the map and does reaver harass and an elevator.
This game is amazing, features not one base race, but two, the main armies of both players, really never engage through out the game. The Korean commentators are at their best, and the game has a great ending.

Jaedong beats Iris with control 2 groups of stacked mutalisks microd SIMULTANEOUSLY. Iris literally died to pure mutalisks, even though he managed to squeeze out some science vessels. Insaneeeeeeeeeeee

How could I have forgotten about this one?! Yes, this was amazing.
