This has always been one of my favorite things to watch (or read about and then click the video). Is there any reason there are no pimpest plays anymore? If it is because no one wants to do the work, we could add them together in a thread and make a poll or something.
From the top of my head I can only remember one exactly that I would put in, though I know there are a lot of worthy plays this year.
- Bisu vs. Hyvaa on Dreamliner (June 25): A quite Zerg Favored map and Bisu just annihilates Hyvaa with Sair/Reaver and ending it with 4 attacks at each of Hyvaas bases, winning every single one of them, destroying Hyvaa completely.
What would you think were the best plays this year?
I can't really think of many single "wow" moments oh the top of my head but:
GGaemo vs Upmagic on HBR with the 2 hidden mines that killed 12 hydras Hiya vs Free on triathalon in general Ruby vs Jangbi on dreamliner with the ghosts? Anytime vs Killer on Matchpoint (i think) where anytime got like 14 kills with a storm Jaedong vs Midas on Odd Eye was just a sick game
The last list of Pimpest plays came out in 2007, featuring Jaedong's ee han timing and Boxer's M&M rush against Nal_ra. I've been thinking about the updated list on and off, but I forgot.

Yeah, that obviously belongs in there. Even if the main cheeser didnt win, Free's BM in the end clearly put that game over the top.

Thanks! I thought that too. I loved that game so much, but the poll said something like "66% dont watch the game" so I though I don't mention it. I thought it was the most awesome game since a long time, but most people just hate that turtle style
Pimpest Plays aren't usually whole games. Its usually one crazy micro thing like when Flash scanned those lurkers in that one final or that game where Bisu's trapped a whole protoss army outside that player's main with a DT on the ramp.
Hiya's mass repair of the single bunker defending his 3rd vs Free while putting down a nuke Fantasy's valks raping 12+ scourge and a control group of mutas in 10 seconds total? the mine that produced ggaemo's fish face @ ending of the other really long ZvZ a week after JD vs Yellow that featured ultra vs ultra?
The lockdown was probably the only particular "pimp" moment from that game. It's such a shame that Hiya lost in the end =/
I just rewatched that moment... it gave me such nerd chills.
Another pimp moment, although much less obvious, is when Free mindcontrolled a neutral arbiter and used it to do a very effective recall. Free in his winner interview even associated his victory with that arbiter. I do believe the aforementioned neutral arbiter is the one at 12 o'clock.
And yeah, I really wish that Hiya won that game. Despite losing it, it really separated Hiya from the crowd of mediocre Terrans. Free deserved his victory though, except the part where he lost 0-3 to Flash right after. Maybe Hiya would have put up a better fight...He did defeat Flash in a recent ace match.

Really's optical flare vP on Match Point.
I don't think Jaedong v.s. Kal was pimp in any sort of way...Kal made the incorrect decision, chose to be passive instead of using his army advantage. Once Jaedong got to hive tech and saturated his 3 o'clock unchallenged, it was over.
In comparison, Fantasy v.s. Skyhigh was much more interesting. Fantasy didn't even make any silly mistakes. He even had that pimp moment with sniping 8 tanks in one barrage across the wall.
I am not convinced whether Really's vP optical flare is effective or not...because it forces the Terran to waste scan for a single observer. A blind observer can still scout.
I don't think the optical flare was really that impressive. Sure, no one did it except that really pimp BoxeR play, but that's for a reason. All Really did was piss off Jangbi and force him to waste an economy-crippling 20 minerals and 70gas on something that takes like 10 seconds to build. I also definitely think an Action play should be on there; remember when he threw down like 4 swarms? vs Flash?
oh and also movie vs m18m, where Movie feedbacks HTs to win him the game. Free's scouts Free storming himself and making mass archons in this other game
Free's scouts deserve a mention. He utilized that unit against Fantasy recent and also used it in the WL playoff. Was it against Hyun or Jaehoon? I don't remember. It is his method of getting instant gg. Bisu's scout use against Hwasin was considered a pimp play, no?
One of the more memorable games recently was Best v.s. Movie. Infinite zealot reinforcement...I'd crap my pants if I was in Movie's position and had map hack.
So many good games, but it's pimpest plays. And a lot of games mentioned are just high level, but to be a pimpest play it should demonstrate ingenuity that works with a bang.
How about the two PvPs on HBR where they base race and one player ends up winning by building a Nexus in his opponents main? Pure vs Pusan was the most recent but there was another one before that though I'm not sure if it was in 2010.
Jaedong v.s. Canata, in which Jaedong pulled drones to defend against a bunker rush. But the drones didn't stop at that. The drones traveled all the way to Canata's natural and slaughtered almost all of Canata's marine force before pulling back.
The offensive Nydus by Effort wasn't just an embarrassment move, it was actually very well thought out. Effort's morphing building was kept under his cloud of Mutalisks, so Hyuk didn't see it until too late. He also then used Zerglings to snipe tech buildings with the Nydus, sealing his victory.
Just remember that PPs work much better if it's just one crazy move rather than an entire game, it's very hard to make the game a 15-30 second clip of epicness. The only one that pops up is the hiya game where he locked the arbiter.
I don't know about many of the moves proposed so far, they're all nice, but nothing we haven't seen before. The bar gets higher and higher.
Effort vs Hyuk was nice, to a certain extend Jeadong's timing on Kal on fighting spirit, he's being badly pressured and decides to just walk in under swarm and end it. Rather reminescent of his 'ee han timing' vs Stork. Still, 5 more months to go, assuming SC2 doesn't overturn the korean SCBW scene :p
Very nice work! Was very entertaining! But my only concern. When I first watched the pimpest plays videos, I had no knowledge of starcraft at all. I played a few years before, but that was just me cheating through the campaign.
This pimpest plays video certainly has good plays, but to the complete newbies, it's kindof confusing. Maybe add some explanation in the subtitles?

Sounds good
Yeah, for example you could put "EffOrt's offensive nydus" or "Kal's simultaneous reaver dark templar attack" as the game title, and underneath it, maybe put "EffOrt v. Hyuk on Judgement Day" or something like that in smaller letters.
Also, I think the font you used for the game into is a little hard to read.
Also, turn the korean commentary up, imo. Too soft, and that's what captures the excitement of the play. Turn the game sound down.
And finally, a lot of time was spent on some of the plays, and rightly so, but some plays like the ggaemo minesweeper are really really short. Might want to add a bit of stuff before hand.
We could feature Effort gling runby with extractor vs Fantasy in the failest plays for sure. I think the pimpest play can't really be a whole game, as good as it can be, it's more about a crazy strategy, or unusual scenes (ultra vs ultra yay), or crazy micro tricks !
awesome to see some of the plays I suggested in there... hmm IMO the first song is extended for too long... I like hearing it while I play but it doesn't really fit the atmosphere... the other picks were great though ^^ And I think the Jaedong vs Yellow battle was a tad bit too long in which mutas where mostly just flying around...
Flash vs Kal, Ro16 of Korean Air OSL S1? Flash crushed all of Kal's expansions in just a matter of minutes, turning the table of a game that was thought to have been in Kal's favor
Bisu vs Jaedong 2 Zealots > 7 Zerglings 08:35 - 08:52 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Pi32uXn3o Edit: And an Ace match between Flash vs Hiya when Hiya's wraith > Flash's BC and Valk 27:59 - 28:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1W4e1w8peA

I was about to finish the new video, but im adding these 2 right now
I would cut out the videos that were more a failure of the losing player than anything else, ie the dt that killed every drone in the main. The dodging was good, but anyone can put a dt into a mineral line.
Also, for the longer ones like the mass muta, you can cut it down to 1-second clips each time something significant (plague, ensnare) happens, and then the final battle.
You can also replay really short clips, and draw attention to kill counts/food drops etc by zooming.

I'd say wait for the end of SPL and compile a top10 list from the seasons without any PP. 07 was the last, no?
Save it for the best ten moves (or best ten games, like hiya free that has many nice moves).
Also. There should be someone that still has the games in better format than youtube rips. Check the tracker if they're still alive. (again, 10 best so it's not a very big job trying to find these VODs)
If I can recommend some game it would be Pure vs Bisu in the SPL PO (WeMade vs SKT Day 2 I think). So many storm and reaverdrops, so many dead probes.

bisu's 2zealot vs 7ling micro?
what? how is that a pimpest play? its basic micro

2. just because it was entertaining, doesn't mean it makes the list maybe as time progresses, less and less creative things are made because players think they're not viable and are not able to pull the win, but theres gotta be something else
Yeah, the Flash v. HiyA game was just a colossal mistake by Flash. Better instance was sKyHigh using mass wraiths to overcome bc/goliath/valk from forGG, but then again, boring game, not really very pimp.
And the Bisu micro was neat, but Movie did something similar on HBR, and aside from being good micro, it's not particularly innovative or "pimp".
But I do liked most of the examples on the first video. Add Snow's proxy base against Flash, and you're set.
While i do agree with most of your points (about some moves being not that "pimp") i find them pretty entertaining, and while some of them are mistakes from the opposite player, you still have to give credit to the player who made a baller move.
Here is my second version of the video, enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss9OaY_SEIE
Im not going to make another video for a while, unless I plan everything I'm going to put in it before hand, and everything is set; despite that, and I think the final video of Baller Plays seems pretty good.

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.

Remember people pimpest plays are plays where someone does something new/inative or something so increadably baller that we jizz our pants instantly, you cant have a whole game as a pimpest play
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.
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.
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

Well, this was no maphack, this was a read on Effort LURING him to a certain position. Brilliant, but not as exceptional as the triple Bunker vs. Clam, which was either a cheat, a leaked buildorder or ... I don't even know what.
Jaedong vs Calm, crazy split by jaedong of his mutas (7:32-7:36)
These splits are compelte insanity. They also have only 1 mouse and 2 hands, or not? And yeah, this might be a true pimpest play. Because it is a tactical maneuver (to combat an opponent with more Mutalisks), that requires mucho skill and has not been before. But I think Effort had done it before, and I have no idea who did it first. Does anyone know who invented it?
Perhaps add this as a bonus video. This is a stroke of brilliance, that is easy to miss and works out perfectly. Man, i didnt even know you could do that in the first place.
I believe we need to add fOrGG's 5 marine timing attack and EffOrt's subsequent muta micro from the WCG qualifiers yesterday to the pimpest plays list.

Unfortunately there are no VODs of it.
5 marine attack maybe, muta micro? hell no.
His attack timing was pretty clever, but he basically scouted that EffOrt only made four zerglings, and he responded accordingly. Ballsy, but not incredibly stunning. EffOrt's muta micro was in a class above normal muta micro, but not something I haven't seen on occasion before.
But from that series, forGG's dual pre-ultras firebat attack on both of EffOrt's naturals is worthy, imo. That was pretty incredible. No single thing pimpest play worthy from EffOrt that game, unless you want to count the whole performance after forGG's attack.

The fact that his macro seems spotless is also helped by his unique style of throwing away units, hence letting you watch him building units again. With this same kind of logic I doubt you will ever call Flash's macro godlike despite his being at least on the same level or even way better (Ro8 MSL Best was clearly outmacroed), since he doesn't lose units in the manner of Best's, and therefore restraining from having rebuild too many units
