:D now get a balancer on figuring out how to change to created lots of such awesome moments to watch :D maybe as apm reached 800+ and players still didn't have the apm to do basic stuff like creep spread or even using nydus tunnels for anything than suicide tunnels; we could figure out what features should be ai and what should be needing apm ;) i'd rather see more of these than knowing "its sooooo hard to just constantly do your injects the entire game, see sooo pro he did it 94% of the game...." yer but its still suboptimal on the most basic off features.. so yer; thats just too much and 800apm spam and its still not enough ? thats just stupid and none ofthe players utilize all the tools there, bc not enough apm, not even close... makes me mad to think about

[@Erebus2075]

honestly it was also so much cooler before everything got nerfed to hell that was cool, in search of "balance" which we all know is just words for "terran isnt winning, panick!" and honestly now that the only faction that retained their OP ridiculess abilities is Terran, its just kinda boring in comparison; also it feels so stupid now whenever something strong comes on the field because it just outshines everything so much that its dumb; before at least there was dumb op stuff for all; and counters for all.... ... also are you seeing those marine split vs banelings? when have you last seen a terran do anything like that? nope they just stim studder back untill they are forced to lift or die bc mismicro; instead of just "split them up so there are 1 max 2 together and the trade is good no matter what and you get rid of all the banes. z cant do anything without banes at that point. vs marine+tank+medivac. i remember medivacs dropping single marines on top of banelings to lure detonations etc. terran microed sooo much more back then; so yer... but nerf Everything when other players from other races micro sooo much better.... .... honestly i loved the archon toilet, it looked amazing and only if you didnt presplit was it effective; its a good anti clump weapon; we needed more ofthem not less.. sigh.. etcetc

[@Erebus2075]

also every change was made to force higher apm need and spam bc some retard thought "HIGH APM YOUNGYOUNG BIIIIIGG!!!! SMART BIGGG NUMBER!!"... fking stupid; game got so much worse since then bc of that bc.... yer remove all the cool stuff to micro to we can do tidious crap task like we where doing a job we hated... fking nonesense. oww yer and all the shine cool stuff yer no more shine, all mat done and everything cool left require insane micro to use decently; have fun... fu bliztards

[@dfg12382]

How is Huk vs Idra not here. That's the most memorable moment in the entire SC2 history.

[@hurleycapetown8420]

Was that when idra rage quit to hallucinations?

[@alphardxyz]

Dumbest moment, not "best".

[@shmurt11]

Fruitdealer championship should be here

[@milanpintar]

good times

[@Tellea]

It was hulluc

[@kimizor8193]

Damn man you put Patience vs Trap, you're a god. To me it can't be any best of without this game, I saw it LIVE IN KOREA and it was absolutely insane man, I will never forget this game.

[@Damogron]

Happy to have seen most of these live. RIP incontrol and totalbisquit

[@ricardovalle960]

Im happy to say that I watched all of the Hots and Wol games live. Incredible moments.

[@-Raylight]

The baneling mines, what a _blast_ to watch it! 8:13 That man is truly man of his name. Patience xD

[@user-cm1nf6lh9w]

20:03 "It takes a pretty huge mistake from a Zerg player to fall for this and get hit by that" - the commentary makes the whole sutiation even better

[@johnreniel]

Would love to see a 2nd part or a version 2 of this

[@peterhealy7272]

I was SHOCKED to see that it was only a year gap between MVP vs Squirtle and Scarlett vs Bomber. Would have guessed 4 years

[@wojtekburzynski654]

2019 SoO vs Serral was great, but personally I would choose Classic's Blink DT at Blizzcon

[@Chunkybread]

That was an insane move, what a way to play before military leave

[@jxff2000]

scarlett’s mines are always the most goosebump inducing moment for me, especially as someone picking up sc2 for the first time ever 😅❤

[@joeblow2069]

You mean ‎Banelings right?

[@emeranawaya3789]

Great Video! I feel SoO victory and final 1st place should be here. It was so emotional after so many 2nd places

[@iliutacristian8322]

I am so old, I have seen all this moments live, what a game!

[@3d_win]

Missing Huk vs Idra and MC singing "Let it go" at HSC XII, but a great list nonetheless.

[@RD-rm6qm]

Man I miss MC he was such a cool guy and dominating at his prime

[@MrShokolol]

Dude MC was so funny

[@eskurian8565]

Great video! Just for Byun's world champion year, I would love to see his most ridiculous Reaper micro game. :D

[@Gemna157]

I remember the scarlet baneling moment when it happened, really needs the idra quit to huks hulluciantion army though

[@youtubemanager5794]

Seeing that observer snipe - there was an epic obs snipe against Neeb if I remember correctly in a PvP. Pig casted that game. I think it was Astrea? Either him or someone else went Stargate, 1 oracle and dts. It was a lost game until he came in at exactly the right time when the obs spawned from robo, used a revelation and sniped it with the phoenix and won the game with the dts snipe on the robo. Amazing game

[@rocketrockinit]

Love this channel. Glad YT recommended it.

[@tophm2634]

WOL and HOS tournies were on another level, I haven't had that much excitement in an esport ever. Wish I could have experienced that with my son instead of Valorant and CSGO :D

[@liteprotoss]

I remember watching 2:30 live. That shit gave me some crazy ass goosebumps.

[@cosmicprog1]

The mothership black hole ability was definitely imba😂!

[@clorkmagnus]

It was a force to be reckon with, now you have shit like hero lost 6 mothership in a game against Zerg.

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I can't decide. With Archons it is I think.

[@75ncv4hu9tg7]

serral is imba

[@aybay8723]

That serral vs showtime game was actually insane

[@n37z]

Thanks for bringt back all these memories

[@nickoslekkas3336]

damn 2013 had also naniwa double proxy gate in game 5 vs hyun but it is difficult to compete with that burrowed bane connection.

[@liamwacey807]

Just as an outside observer, a video like this would be greatly improved with just a little bit of context for each clip. A short blurb like "XYZ was on the Ropes the whole game after ABC managed to disrupt production using this strategy. XYZ decided to use this highly risky Battle cruiser strategy to get back into it. Here's how it went" Just helps those of us that only occasionally watch SC2 get hyped for the moment.

[@EsportsStoryteller]

Thanks for the advice! I'll improve on that

[@YTAnalyzed]

This is a topic that deserves a full series, not one video!

[@wesleyhart6874]

Life beating Maru in the 2015 IEM Grand Finals was my favorite of all time. Life's 'lings always found a way.

[@Nolifeterran]

You should have done a completion of every year. So many great moments

[@kaceydillin7367]

Too much Serral. No Life? No Dark? Good to see Jaedong in there, brought back alot of fond memories.

[@EsportsStoryteller]

It's really hard for some years because sometimes there were more than just one epic moment. It's all a bit subjective of cours e :)

[@Lanzetsu]

@@EsportsStoryteller Yeah I noticed some Serral bias there =P , anyway good video, thanks.

[@kaceydillin7367]

@@EsportsStoryteller I know. We love what you do for the SC2 community. Gosh even this year has been alot of great matches ❤️

[@VoyivodaFTW1]

SelecT, Slayersboxer, marineking prime, TLO, MC, DRG, Fruit Dealer, the MVP nuke game, Nestea. So many great players, So many great moments. Epicness is subjective, what's great to some, may be a blip in time to another. Still great content

[@peterchui1964]

Strictly in terms of gameplay, I would have changed 2018 to WCS rogue vs serral game 4, or GSL maru vs TY game 4.

[@alcel24]

U missed: 1. Dark vs Byan. 1 ultra wins the game. 2. Classic vs Rogue. Pure brilliance of the protos destroying lair with blink dark templars. 3. TY vs Maru. 5 vikings vs medivac with marines. 4. TY vs Hurricane (I think). Battle fleet is trying to catch protos fleet for an hour with brilliant move in the end. 5. Maru vs Solar. That nuke. 6. Dark vs Gumiho (I think). Control ghost and emped all the enemies ghosts And THE THRILLIEST ending of all times is Fantasy vs Soo. U cannot find anything closer than that.

[@Nguyen2-t9p]

this clip focus on foreigner players, i think

[@snowdrop9810]

Showtime vs serral ended with showtime throwing so hard I can feel the pain

[@evelic]

Throwtime.

[@peterhardie4151]

The Huk stalker micro and the Squirtle reverse swept by MVP with a cheese at the end?

[@Wanderer1991]

The panic nuke lol. That shit was epic, 190 to 109 😂

[@richardgallimore5976]

Scarlett vs Bomber will probably always be my favorite. I can't remember the year, was it 2014? When Life won GSL the first time he entered it becoming the first "Royal Roader" I think they called it, I'd say that has to be moment of that year. Though if that was 2013 I can see why it isn't as the Scarlett vs Bomber match imo is the best match ever. I also remember the first time Reynor was in GSL he had an amazing game vs Classic I want to say? Or was it Trap? Also one of my favorites.

[@browncoat73]

Oh ya Reynor v Classic when Reynor was 16 in the GSL. I replayed that SO many times. I had just the audio of it on my phone and would listen to it.

[@loldoctor]

Scarlett vs Bomber is also my favorite. I think the fact that the casters didn't notice those last few burrowed banelings either made the whole thing so much more memorable. TBH low eco games in general produced some of the most exciting moments in SC2. Much, MUCH more interesting than death balls.

[@JordanSlash]

Whitera v MC was the most hype game, also Jinro's run in GSL was insane.

[@NoTalentGuy]

Your work is amazing. You are incredible content creator. You deserve the world 🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

[@侯清中]

20:20 Maru mystery smile 🤭

[@NewGuy-ht6in]

It always takes an incredible play to beat serral

[@halqthedarktemplar]

I like how serral is in the list 4 times

[@BouncingCow]

To me the 2013 game between Tarja and innovation was the by far the highlight, maybe the best back and forth bio vs mech game ever

[@xseros7954]

Bit sad that the insane micro battle that was Huk vs Naniwa isnt here

[@presage23]

Another insane was Ryung vs Zest game 3 GSL 2022 S1 ro.20 Group B. That was something else.

[@ArkkiStarcraft]

I would've picked Stardust vs Jaedong ending on Star Station for 2013 moment. 2017 moment kinda feels underwhelming too. Still an amazing video though. Happy to see old times remembered :)

[@Kromatikeys]

RIP Starcraft. This definitely feels like a Postmortem

[@daronoch5779]

I like how in the later years all the best moments are people just beating serral, to me it says a lot about how dominant serral was, that people beating him in macro is considered the best moments. Personally however, i would like to see some of has cheese in these, his crazy strategys are just too fun to watch.

[@mEtil5656]

0:50 This is such an epic moment, but in hindsight, toss couldve just sniped both overseers and the spore at this exact moment and won without a problem

[@Rupi57]

Great list! I would rate Taeja-Innovation higher than Scarlett-Bomber. And I would prefer Game 7 over the Archon Toilett in the Mvp-Squirtle series.

[@hurleycapetown8420]

No way that Scarlett bomber game is one of the best moments ever,the build up to it and how the whole game went was just incredible.

[@gyppygirl2021]

I'm just in it for the baneling landmines

[@loldoctor]

As a MOMENT, Scarlett v Bomber is better imo, if only because it was the game-ending/series-ending moment in addition to being unexpected (in a game that was full of unexpected twists and turns). The end of Taeja v Innovation was pretty much decided before the final engagement, but the gameplay that brought us there was obviously among the most exciting of all time.

[@browncoat73]

Great video....there must be some SoS games out there for you next video please!

[@gyppygirl2021]

The Archon Toilet was one of the craziest strats in the game. As much as I still love it, I'm glad it got axed. XD

[@maxwellwalker8050]

lilbow's comeback vs hydra is my favorite moment from 2015

[@XMayhemMondayX]

Great video and great choices! What year was that game where the Protoss player killed the Zerg player's last extractor with a bunch of probes? I can't remember the players' names either but that was always a classic game for me!

[@sporn23]

Scarlett vs bomber, still one of the best baneling trap of all time! Instant GG

[@RRrico0625]

MKP...my old days hero

[@freekingfreaking246]

Jesus fug i almost had a heart attack with the DT one in 2016

[@toussaintg9116]

Can someone tell me what is the ost at from 14min to 14min 40s ?

[@borsho9889]

Boxer for me was the eternal legend

[@momom6197]

Patience vs Trap is my favorite game ever.

[@signumsigma4485]

Why didnt you include my silver promotion after 12 years of 1v1 grind?

[@jrockit24]

I just remember this game called “fire to blaze” by some casters

[@jadoyon]

Abduct is the most OP ability in SC2 history

[@TwEEknervous]

Rogue vs hero baneling drops?

[@Chomusuke1]

Funnily enough I dont think the archon toilet strat would be considered overpowered today now that everybody got better in general

[@ianlarm1588]

Serral vs Soo katowice 2019 is one of the best matches of all time

[@browncoat73]

I don't watch many non-GSL matches but was watching that match. Was VERY happy for Soo.

[@HrHaakon]

> mass ling bling > no bling speed The Codex Zergstatis does not support this action

[@justnuke7109]

Every year, the casting skills gets wotse

[@oliverhughes610]

Would love to see a 'second best' or honourable mentions version! Equally, a worst moments lol

[@ronzonmike]

mass widows vs zerg so op , and the years past and is not nerf

[@luxon4]

You missed nearly all of the WOL games :/ and then the last few clips took forever. Still thanks for putting together the compilation.

[@kya6816]

For me 2016 was just full run of byun. 2018 was gsl 2 maru vs rouge , 2020 was ty vs maru the best tvt ever and 2021 was just traps last flame 2022 was creator's return that final game was not that impactful. but damm that storyline was awesome he was runner up the first wcs and fall down mocked by fans since 2015~6 and stuck in code A so long and made it. It was just amazing.

[@Sascreama]

Not having the SoS vs Hero grand final for 2014 in this list just makes me second guess all the other ones Also not the TY vs Creator super long match of mass sky toss vs mass bcs?

[@cihanonder8351]

What if other dt comes too onstead of hit building 9:40

[@judjudersawn2596]

If we want sc3 to stay popular it needs moments like this regularly. The game needs to be easier to play for noobs, and fun to watch at any skill level.

[@H2H3H5]

Nestea vs MVP ghosts vs. brood lords?

[@gentleandkind]

TSL3 Thorzain vs. NaNi. Game 7 incredible 1-3 down come back. King in the North.

[@the-nomad-show]

Great games! But it's missing the best game of all time, PartinG vs. Flash in Homestory Cup X (2014).

[@ML-rs7we]

TBH part of the hype are the casters too

[@Lenny1305]

2010-2012 was the best years IMO

[@yanstbh8896]

I dind't understand how scarlet kill all marines, can someone explain?

[@EsportsStoryteller]

There were burrowed banelings in that spot that she detonated

[@rustyshackleford11]

at 9 minutes, im sure someone pointed this out, he should have got the building that was blocking the DT low but not finished it so he could continue hoping back and foreth over it

[@Xaeravoq]

BEAUTIFUL FUNGALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@OriginalRaisins]

2010 best moment: Terran with stim vs slow banelings off creep, only loses all the marines and keeps the tanks alive. 2020 best moment: Terrain with stim vs fast banelings on creep. Loses practically zero marines. Players really got a lot better huh.

[@ValDominator]

2010 pro level skill couldn't even make GM today

[@gyppygirl2021]

That's what happens when a game runs as long as this one. The skill ceiling gets higher as the game evolves and the players learn more ways to utilize the tools they have.

[@rodzeroher]

At the time Marineking was crazy good at marine split, that game specially was crazy

[@xenom23]

polt vs jeadong ?

[@carrier2456]

Should have included 2023 here. Oliveira vs Reynor match game number 2 in IEM 2023 was really madness and epic.

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

I miss Nathanias casting 19:51 Biggest mistake to lay him off imo.

[@xenom23]

taeja vs innovation ?? best TVT of all time litteraly

[@zottirgen]

When you watch stuff like this, you realize again how superior Tastosis casting is compared to others who just continuously and madly keep yelling with little knowledge and analysis

[@auripigment2713]

OH MY GOD

[@danielskrivan6921]

There are a lot of great things about Serral. But when he flexes, all I can do is laugh.

[@Tellea]

Watching this makes me so sad to see where the game is now :(

[@scottdahneke1031]

I love this game. I hope Blizzard doesn't kill it.

[@SmelCa]

Just because it was the two times my heart was beating so hard watching it live: 2011: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIXFY5qGi52Abs0 2013: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnawmaqEm5eNisk But i agree stephano vs kiwikaki and bomber vs scarlett are closer. (but maybe less important games)

[@mustang6x]

Wcg2012 Lowely beating MarineKing 🎉🎉🎉

[@miguelrondon6534]

how is not the jaedong vs sOs or sOs vs Life in the blizzcom not there wtf who made this list XD

[@luisg8873]

I really miss kaelaris casting

[@wulver810]

That last clip was a great moment? I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, looked like a losing battle for Showtime.

[@DeathDome_]

never seen that protoss black hole thing, whata joke

[@abelman_usa]

If you didn’t cry watching then you are not truly an SC2 fan

[@Giggityman0273]

Teamless Byun vs Jinair sOs 2016 S2 GSL Finals Game 2. soO wins IEM Katowice 2019.

[@williamtomazspeltz8926]

Who is able to beat Serral?

[@Smoj_]

The way Serral is on here so many times...LEGEND
