So here's the challenge TL, lets put together a list of the best pro BW games of all time.
The criteria is completely up to you, but please try to explain why you think it warrants a spot.
Did it inspire you to fall in love with pro BW? Is it just one of those games that sticks with you that you always remember when you think BW? Was it the most brilliant cheese/rush of all time (maybe BoxeR's proxy vs Oov)? A fan favorite veteran showing a flash of brilliance (July's golden mouse)? Did Reach play the manliest game possible?Did it have brilliantly impossible micro? Did UpMaGiC, BoxeR, or NalRa do something astonishingly creative? Did it stand for the beginning or end of an era (BoxeR leaving for ACE, or Bisu vs sAviOr for MSL)? Did it help silverStork finally get his OSL win? Or your favorite team win the proleague? Was it the best 2v2 ever (I know there was an epic one with fast maelstrom)? Did a player snatch victory from the jaws of seemingly certain defeat?
Hopefully we can make a easy to find/navigate list of the best pro BW had to offer. Maybe even make some lists/categories I can add to the OP (best rush ever, best comebacks, most creative etc)

I have a soft spot for this game because it was the first I watched that really got me hooked on pro BW (shortly after sc2 was announced). It's a classic rivalry game, between two legends (well, a legend and firebathero), in the MSL, and is an exciting, back and forth, hour long slugfest using darn close to every unit in the t and z arsenal.

Why? An hour long battle filled with constant harassment, unorthodox units and tactics. And I'm just a sucker for D-Web and dark archons. I have trouble putting it too high on the list though because 1) it didnt really count for much (just a random PL game) and 2) the end result seemed a little inevitable to me, the advantage didn't swing back and forth dramatically.
