Chattiest Replay

Hero Units
Ryūkyū vs BigFatPotato is a Terran nightmare — 17 minutes of Baneling busts from an all-in Zerg. Despite doing well in his attempts to hold, wave after wave of Banelings crashed into his depo walls and the Zerglings never stopped coming.
But wow, his three-Banshee hit-squad was amazing.
In addition to countless Drones and Zerglings, a few Spore Crawlers even died along with this Hatchery
With great micro, these Banshees nearly won him the game, even bringing his Lair down to 300 HP. Sadly, you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain — and in the case of these Banshees it was the former, but not before bringing down countless Zerg.
Base-trade Replay
Maxx vs Zix takes place on long-spawn Waystation where going back just isn’t an option.
Maxx saves a lot of probes and money for two Nexus, and Zix starts placing hatcheries everywhere. It’s a close game that ends up in a micro war between a small group of Stalkers and the remaining Zerg Hatcheries:
Maybe if you had Blink. . .
Unfortunately, Maxx chose to scout with all of his probes instead of use them to mine off of his remaining Nexus and his Stalkers weren’t able to pull off the gosu micro they needed to kill the Zerg base before he mined enough to secure the win.
