Hey, I have only the vaguest memories of what I considered to be the best TvZ match I've ever seen. Unfortunately vague memories make for vague details. I hope you can help me remember the specific game.
Map Info
-Flash was in the 9 to 12ish o'clock position and Jaedong.was 1 to 3 ish. -Mains were on the high ground expo on the low ground. I think the tileset was space platform.
Match info
-The game was match point(not the map) I think. High stakes -Flash wins the match. -There was an official English cast of the match. (Tastosis?) -Jaedong goes for mutalisk and there's a clutch moment where jaedong is pressing his assault and flash just barely saves a dropship (or vessel?) from scourge with a d-matrix he could only afford to cast because either the +50 energy research had just finished (and/or he produced the vessel before anything else from his port) as they were colliding into his dropship. -Guessing around 2009-2010? Soon(months) before SCII dropped.
It was one of the last games I remember them playing and I remember it felt so fitting to have such an awesome game be as I saw it a swan song for the golden years of the pro scbw scene.
Honestly I know this is asking a lot with little info to go on, and what info I did provide is kinda hazy. I've looked through all the vods I can find, even the playlist with "all" 48 of their games. Sorry for the hazy details, I wish I could do better but it's all I have to go on.

That's not true. WCG would like to speak a word with you. There was a game deciding match 3 in one of the last WCGs where Flash won and it was casted in english. Game was 2010 on Fighting Spirit. Can't remember what happened in that game though. That was 6 years ago...

The best FvJ was the infamous power outage series. It genuinly saddens me that this series is so frowned upon but the first 3 games of that series were something else. If it weren't for the power outage, game 3 would have probably been my favourite game ever.

I agree. After all, it was the reason why I finally joined the forum (see join date).
Memory is fuzzy sometimes, you might have just 1 detail slightly off and then our search criteria is skewed exponentially.
To help narrow it down:
1) Was the dropship flying over water/empty space or just some different terrain? 2) Length of game? 3) Was there any early game action? 4) Are you very sure about the map details? (start positions, tileset) The game could have started somewhere else and bases shifted/expanded accordingly 5) Can you remember the stuff that happened before or after the match? What kind of stage was it? Crowd size? Proleague games are easy to spot, high fives with team bench after the match. 6) Finally, are you absolutely sure it was Flash vs Jaedong? According to TLPD there were only 49 games played between them, 48 are on that youtube list you linked. (Although this number could be wrong or off)
I do remember witnessing a clutch d-matrix save but it wasn't FvJ
I really don't remember that much about it, sorry.
1. No water. It was retreating from the scourge from low to high ground 2. I don't recall, long enough to tech to tier 2 at least. 3. I don't recall. I don't think there was. 4. Yes, Terran started on Left side of map. Both start points were on the highground. Tileset is fuzzier, but def not nature 5. I don't recall. Any of this that I could provide would be a fuzzy unhelpful guess. Thought it was on stage indoors. 6. Although I strongly remember it being Flash vs Jaedong, it may have been another very strong zerg (savior?).
