Winning or losing has nothing to do with it. Do you remember the Boxer ghost Carrier lockdown on Monty Hall? Boxer lost that game, but that play was PIMP AS HELL! He never proved it viable, but he proved it was pretty damn awesome to watch.

yeah but that was different
boxer ghost carrier lockdown?

do you mean when boxer blinded all the observers near the carriers, or when all the BC's were locked down within 1 second and swiped by wraiths?

and those two moves were actually pimp and took skill, whereas the things i mentioned like the zealot/ling micro and the free vs hiya game didn't really have those things =/
basically, the things people are mentioning in this thread and what boxer did in those games that he lost, are completely different

but seriously you guys should check out the pimpest plays of all the years if you haven't already, definitely something you would want to check out as a brood war fan

You can't even have a good game as a pimpest plays. This isn't just "Recommended VODs of current games." Shuttle harassment? Standard micro and tactics? Even if they are executed well, they're standard and not what this is about.

Actually if you look through older pimpest plays there are cases of games where players executed a style/build extremely well. Example that comes to mind is that old sair/reaver match on lost temple (massive air battles, cannons on the ledges, etc. etc.) and that came from one of the early pimpest plays.

You could say that cannons were unorthodox but ledge abuse was common for T and P in all the match ups at the time so it wasn't really.

Of course you can't take a game that, for example, Jaedong played perfectly in just because he played perfectly in. But say that there is a series of fights in a TvZ that exhibit insane control and are just incredible to watch or basically intense moments, Boxer was shown multiple times in various PP taking down crucial buildings with 1-2 marines and a medic while dodging armies. That's not something unorthodox it's just cool to watch.

Anyway the point of this is stop being such a fun nazi. The whole point of PP is to exhibit stuff that is cool, that made people go 'Wow, that's awesome'. This isn't 2004 or even 2006/7 anymore, there isn't a lot of unorthodox crazy shit coming out anymore, if you don't allow things like incredible control, or awesome games be used you're going to end up with 3 PP and that's it.

Flash's Omniscience

These plays may not be flashy, but they're very Flash-y. A different kind of pimp for the discerning pimp connoisseur.

MBCGame manager Hero Ha Tae Ki states that after discussing with the company he will launch a complaint about 7th game against KT Rolster which is now under controversy as 'ear map'.

...

At game played on Match Point Flash (KT. Terran) scouted the Light's proxy Barrracks with the SCV. However, this became a problem because SCV had moved perpendicularly during the course of its scouting due to the audiences' loud cry.

"Light also said that he had heard the audiences' roar. Proxy Barracks could have beaten Flash's tactics," manager Ha Tae Ki stressed, "today's game is not just simple 1 win."

...

MBCGame can make a complaint to Korean eSport Federation within 24 hours but the result of the mass does not change. But manager Ha emphasizes, "the result cannot be changed. But it must be revealed if the opponent has heard the sounds of the audience. Also we must recover Light's dignity."

When I watched the game Flash vs. Zero I watched on Full Screen and did not look away one second and whenever the stream lagged for a second I was panicking. Flash made 108 Turrets (I didnt count but I knew it was a fuckton) because it was his strategy and because he probably lost test games to drops and Air switches, and that has never happened before in a televised BW game before, so I was thrilled. When the game was over I went back to the game thread for the hype and I was SHOCKED that 66% voted "Not Recommend". Sure it was turtle style, but it was something never seen before so how can you not recommend it?

And then there were "standard" games, like Jaedong vs. Yellow or Bisu vs. Hyvaa. Nothing in these games has not been done before, yet people (and me too of course) went nuts because they were so awesome.

Another thing to note is that pimpest play doesnt automatically mean you have to win the game. That was never the case. So the Hiya/Free game has pimpest plays and is one of the top pimpest games no discussion. The whole game was just pimp and epic, 3 port wraith into hidden expo into nukes into last second stasis into mind controlled SCV.

So the question is where to take this thread to. I think the "Baller Plays" is an excellent video. It is not quite on one level with the "Epic Moments of Starcraft" video, but it is still awesome to watch. And like Pioneer said, there just are not that many things left to be done for the first time - probably. Still it would be cool to list not only the epic battles but also small details and deviations that make the big difference.

fantasy vs Kal was a very interesting and high skilled play, with comebacks from both players back and forth (SKT vs STX PL Playoffs)

And I don't get it, why the hell are people posting games from 2009? ggaemo vs Upmagic? Really? (not the player, i meant Seriously?).

I have the say, the sickest play was lockdown preventing a recall.

By my definition, pimpest play is the pimpest move. Like in basketball it'll be a dunk or a crazy 20+ yard pass with a touchdown in football. If you include the whole entire game, then it'll be the best game of the year.

I'll say some of the ones I remember are like

Jaedong's Lockdown arbiter
Really's Optical flare observer
Some of ruby's play against zerg, like one-of-every-kind-of-unit-build v jaedong
Stork's carrier play
Effort's offensive sunken
etc

and on that note I'll nominate Jaedong seeing a DT ripple with a burrowed ling and sending his Ovies/Hydras accordingly. I forgot who it was against, but it was on OddEye in a recent StarLEague game.
