After seeing Rize's reply about being beaten by Eddie in Eddie's post, I then posted tweet about the first time a GM destroyed me.
So here we go:
The first time a GM level player destroyed me in a game was x5_PiG on Whirlwind at the early stage of HotS, I think just after Beta. I was a lowly Bronze, beating Silvers (How far I've come now I'm Gold, losing to silvers!) and it was the first tournament I had signed up to after joining SC2. I didn't know too much about the ANZ Competitive scene at the time, and didn't really know who PiG was until after the match.
Anyway I don't remember too many details about the game. I of course played Protoss and was trying to tech up to my favorite unit, The Colossi. I didn't scout, something I still forget to do today haha. and I just sat back, building probes and pylons (as Day9 taught me), I had a buttload of Zealots. Some time between this and the game ending, PiG overwhelmed me with gigantic forces...of some description, probably A-moved, because Jergs....
Re-watching the replay, having not scouted and wondering how this scrub could have beaten me (I had Colossi after all) I noticed that PiG had gone 4 hatch before Pool, I think he had literally droned 3 bases even before the Pool...and that was the day I found out GMs are assholes (jks!).
That was the first time I have been annihilated by a God-tier player....since then I've lost countless games to countless people...but that Game always sticks in my head.
Do you guys remember the first time you were absolutely destroyed by a GM player? Would like to hear other peoples stories.
