In case you haven't seen yet, here's my list of TOP 8 Epic fails in StarCraft 2 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN6JfrqDyrHef2g.html Check out Our new Project FGC Storyteller - www.youtube.com/@fgcstoryteller Check out my personal channels - www.youtube.com/@Gaming_Essays & www.youtube.com/@RTSCasts Timecodes: 00:00 The most intense microbattle 03:50 The nail-biting hold 05:20 The hidden trap 06:23 The terrible mistake 07:29 The best archon toilet

Idra loosing to hallunications and Serral ending the Korean Dynasty would have been nice choises.

trap vs patience at kespa cup was one of the craziest base trades I have ever seen. One dt destroying 1 base with another defending and the other player could only blink and warp prism micro to try and destroy the base before the dt killed all his units. absolutely insane

I often rewatch the game between Maru and Parting and the moment Maru nukes his whole army. Another moment I often replay is Stephano vs ForGG, when ForGG accidently blows four medivacs with his own widow mines. Stephano's smirk is a thing of beauty.

Honestly the Archon Toilet will always be a classic

I always enjoy the match between Scarlett and DongRaeGu in which Scarlett played Protoss. The match was just perfect. Casted by Day9 and CatZ, the new nickname "the Queen of Psi-blades" was born there and in the end you can even see Harstem jumping in the crowd.

Maru vs Parting with the nuke is one of my favorites. Long 40 minute macro game, with mining out the whole map resulting in each player poking each other back and forth to gain control of the last base on the map, Maru employing the occasional nuke while Parting tries to make him take even a little bit of damage on his vikings with storms... and it ends when Maru accidentally nukes his own vikings instantly losing the game. Incredible.

Not as game-clinching but Maru nuking his own army vs Parting (I think) will always be one the best moments for me

As a zerg player, I have never been happier than when Scarletts trap went off!! Unbelievable setup and execution.

I enjoy the videos so much! keep going I need this kind of Sc2 content

Oh man I watched that Scarlett Bomber match live. It was beautiful all the way from the beggining. Constant battles, frenetic rithm, classic 4M vs ling muta bane. Also day9's casting was great. Good times.

One of my favorites was Scarlett vs. DRG at MLG Anaheim where she offraced as Protoss while down 0-1 in a bo3 series against one of the best Zerg players in the world at the time... and took the game off him with a 7 gate all-in. I think she rode that momentum to take the series as well, but that game 2 was such a hype match.

I was at the bomber/Scarlett game. Bomber was outside for pictures IMMEDIATELY after and I was the first one on line. Had a buddy at that tournament that had never seen pro starcraft before. Amazing experience.

best moment for me is still 2019's Katowice with soO completing his revenge on Stats with a sweep to become the iem champion after being down 0-2 and clearly a little shaken. and that's while ignoring all the crazy bracket that he has after barely squeezing out of group stage

I’ve always loved the Serral vs Has series with the oracle blitz. Astrea’s game with an offensive Nexus recall was awesome too.

Great video! Those are indeed 5 top moments, however I would make it a Top 8 and include Idra halluc rage quit, Idra tapping out after the opponent killed his own CC, and Kiwikaki double mothership recall on Lost Temple(?). All legendary moments in SC2 history!

I love how Maru’s expression doesn’t move in the slightest when the nuke hits

I really like Classic vs Rogue from the world finals at blizzcon 2019. It’s the dark templar hatchery snipe

FINALLY THE ARCHON TOILET!!!! Thank you!!!!

About Solar vs Maru, the commentators are wrong about Solar: he had indeed seen the nuke, and tried three times to target the ghost, but the first two times, he withdrew his overseers too quickly, and the broodlings could not damage the cloaked ghost!

The moments I remember most is one of Partings PvTs where the Terran had him cornered, outnumbered and laid down mines. Parting however walked one blink stalker over one of the mines into the bio and blinked out as the mine shot went off killing the squad of bio leading to a Parting win. Also great content FGC content would also be good to watch no shortage of stories there.

It wasn’t a pro moment but my favorite is “you can’t leave!” The 2v2

One moment I will always remember was a zvz...funnily I do not know who either player was. It was one of the rare occasions when it got to to a later game in a zvz. One player got more ahead and ahead with his muta count and also upgrades and bases I believe. At some point, he was so ahead that he said to himself, "fuck it, I will kill him." So he attacked into one of the last of his opponents mining base. It was at the time when spores were just buffed to 45dmg to mutas so he lost 30+ mutas to like 6 or 7 spores as he was not yet used to the new power of those towers. Then he lost the game very quickly.

There was this one game of Maru vs Jaedong where Maru killed an army that was over double in army supply just with good micro

Thanks for making these "documentary" like videos that remind me of those good old days! There are a lot to be covered, like others have mentioned. I was thinking of a trilogy: Serral ending the Korean era is definitely a good storyline, as well as the story of the Korean second-place king, Soo. And the fact that Serral's straight wins was first taken down by Soo in IEM 2019 Katowice (and the later eventually winning the whole thing). Would love to watch more GSL content, including: - The era of four horsemen - How Byun single-handedly cause the nerf of reaper - Scarlett as the first female player to win a premier tournament is a good pick too For memorable senses, I can't remember when but I am sure they happened: - a TvT match (should be played by any two of TY, Maru and Cure) with a top-level game-sense to medivac drop to the main base of the opponent when he was fairly behind and winning the game. - Lurker hold fire, just like the effect of borrowed banes in the video, by Scarlett also? - Mass DT Shadow Stride by Stats?

3:37 look at the guy in the background just open mouthed at that wild game! I had that same face when that game happened!

It’s not an “Epic” match by any means, but the most spectacular strategy I’ve ever seen was when SoS built a nexus in the base of Bunny to make it appear that he was going to recall adepts, but it was actually to build one probe to hide in the side of the base and build a proxy pylon to warp in DT’s. It was such a ridiculous strategy I couldn’t believe it.

another one in such short time. keep em comeing your work is awesome

Nice list honestly good work. Perfect amount of explaining vs action thank you

That NaniWa game will always be my favourite

Maru's reaction to landing the best nuke ever : 😐

Hearing Day9 cast makes me wanna cry lawdy

I hope you get to 100k soon all your videos are so enjoyable

Gumiho's Battlecruisers versus SoO and Classic, and his comeback against Reynor are several of the highlights. Oh, and Gumiho's sniping of Serral's Broodlords too!

what NaNiwa did is never forgotten. he almost made sc2's great history even though he failed but he still won in our hearts.

Some of my favorite moments used to be from Life's games. Its a shame how that story turned out.

One of my fav game is Time vs Reynor. Best current Terran vs best current Zerg player. The match was problably one of the most intense back and forth, i still couldnt believe Time can fought his way out of that position and won that match.

i remember these moments, awesome video you didnt include jaedongs spine defense! love it nontheless

Good picks. the top 3 could easily be on my favorites list as well if I had one.

That archon toilet was insane.

Duuude, bomber! The emperor, what a legend

Mine isnt an esports match. It's episode 39 of husky's bronze league heroes when zerg destroyed the enemy's final building with 1hp on their spine crawler

Thank you!!, we need more SC1 videos pls

I remember the scarlett bomber baneling bust happening in real time.. soooo good

fantastic channel love it!

Legendary moments for sure!

The idra ragequit better be here. XD

I only remember number 2. Was it Maru who also nuked his own army in GLS? There was also a game in the GLS final between MVP and TOP, super long TvT, my favorite.

Absolutely epic :)

I remember when Innovation was on the top and seemed unbeatable with his relentless macro and parade pushes vs zerg. Then he faced DRG who already seemed like a washed up former champion and DRG went toe to toe with Inno's macro play beating him straight up in extremely intense back and forth games.

Hah, I immediately noticed the last clip is casted by artosis

IMO WhiteRa vs MC and some other games of him were so special... mainly on the World vs Korea when he was the only Protoss trying to counter 4Gate instead of doing the same in the mirror.

God I miss the Archon-Toilet strategy!

I'd say DRF vs life game 4 Iron Squid 2 is missing, i'd say this tournamnet had one of best grand finals EVER. Legendary Life's reverse sweep, game 4 and game 7 realy memorably. Game 4 when he was 0-3 and went for crazy ling attack into lings + queen on ramp of DRG, eaven Day9 calling it a realy bad move, and somehow he actualy get the win there, proceeding to win 2 more games, going into game 7 when DRG went for all-in (smth like 6 pool or so, dont remember exact timing) while life went for hatch first, resulting in 6 lings in life's base before his pool is finishted, and somehow microing his way to victory in this game.

Maybe it was fruitdealer or some other zerg idk who but i remember one replay of the first time a zerg player tried mass queens and totally surprised his opponent.

Love these uploads! Brings back a lot of good memories

The recent fight between Serral and Showtime. Serral winning against multiple tempests voids and oracles using _burrow_.

Could you cover the Harstem verus Maru series, especially that game on romanticide, that's a banger.

TY mass mines wiping out Soo broodlords

Now, Oliveira winning IEM Katowice has to be number one.

I like that blizzard was so inept that he wasn't able to compensate other races for nuke in 10 years or make ultras usefull.

I'm not sure why the community ranks the archon toilet so highly. The mechanic was borderline cheese and so imba that it had to be patched out of the game entirely. Maybe I'm biased because I hate Protoss but I would rank Scarlet v Bomber as #1 simply because it was such a jaw-dropping end to what is imo the best game of SC2 ever.

Funny iff the BC have tactical jump like now day they can just tele out off the Archon toilet

Idra. Hallucination.......how is that not on the list.

Bly’s proxy hatch against Neeb.

Didnt Maru nuke himself like in the same series vs Solar hahah......watching that was halarious, he just grinned.

Great

Omg scarlett.... he did it !!!

I was confused looking at the Jinro vs Choya fight, thinking 'the terran army just straight up wins that fight anyway, right?'. And yeah, even before the nuke hits, P was basically dead. 4 collossi doesn't beat that huge concave of bio- it only killed 4 collissi and 2 stalkers. The bio +emp had already dealt with the zealots, the templar and the archons

One moment that I recall more recently was a game between soO and TY, involving a 80+ supply mine drop in the middle of a fight. Here's Lowko's casting of the event: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9pmdJqAyrHMooU.html

very nice vido

I would have prefered that you give the year and the version (WoL, HotS or LotV) for each moment

What about Huk vs Idra and and the halucinated voud rays?

mma drg final never forget

"Most memorable": okay, that's subjective, so it's fine. "Greatest moments of SC2 esports history": Nope, any list that doesn't include Serral becoming the first non-Korean world champion ever is wrong.

Nestea winning a gsl without dropping a map is the biggest moment in sc2 history imo.

Yaaaay

Iono why but WoL matches had more hype. Could just be my nostalgia talking, of course.

REALLY expected the greatest mindgame (halluc army into ragequit) to be here...imho a way better moment than the Huk vs Naniwa battle which was very intense, but also very bad by todays standards.

Idra's Fuck off is still the best :D

Open mouth Mvp is the GOAT

For me, #3 is my #1.

WTF was that thing in the last game? I've never seen that spell used in any game I've been in.

A top play should never include a completely broken ability plus move command some archons. 😂

One of my favourite moments in SC2 must have been the friendly fire mines from ForGG vs Stephano kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKdpprKqsprVh4k.html

Lol. Day9 commentating the Scarlet Bomber game

For me #1 is SoS beating Jdong. Real life Anime story

the moment that i remember the most is when maru nuked his own army in a game against parthing in gsl kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNGglrx0y9a9YoE.html enjoy

Were you a pro at some point?

Not a big fan of the archon toilet highlight. It was a wildly broken mechanic that was rightfully removed from the game. At least baneling landmines, micro, and nukes are still a thing.

And, I think this was also a big deal. MVP vs Nestea, when ghost snipe first appeared in a major way. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJpzlttn28XJZ6s.html

metal gear music??

This was a better Bomber moment. Dying to buried banelings isn't that interesting. This was an entirely new strategy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNB1nsp0p7OuYI0.html

Best moment is when terran wins.

6:10 how they die?

arcon toilet was the worst thing in starcraft....

IdrA FF game to illusions

would have probably been better to just put writing on the screen or get someone else to comment as your voice is not suited.

When MKP first came into the scene, he entered a tournament with the name BoxeR. Everyone thought he was the actual BoxeR from sc, until later they found out he wasnt. They nicknamed him FOXER (As in Fake Boxer). Anyways. This was the match who put him in the map. It was in the early seasons of WOL, i actually catched the match live. It was unvelievable (Marine spread wasnt a thing yet). The other guy, quickly dissapeared after a couple more tournaments. Snip from the game watch?v=Xec_WamfWG8&ab_channel=Genome Soon after the match, he renamed himself to MKP. Edit, complete game. 1 of 5. watch?v=ceNt-USzxg0&ab_channel=GOMTVNET
