Bisu's In-Your-Face proxy against Flash in the most important game of the year should be included Zero's fake drop to ramp block is the only real PP worthy game I can think of. The game is pretty much figured out + hybrid pl cheese fest. | ||

They're great moves/engagements but not pimp as the older pimpest play videos ;; It's like new age SC1 doesn't allow many insane tactical moves. Dude During one part of the video, there's a siege tank battle. He drops tanks in front to make the enemy's tanks focus on the unsieged tanks instead, and it looks like he picks one up before the damaging animation finishes. Baller either way. 5:50 Great play by both players. Bisu keeps threatening the tanks with dragoons to save his nexus, and ArtOfTerran keeps unsieging to kill as many dragoons as possible. (the dragoons only get vision of the high ground when the tanks fire) 1:53 4:03 (Lifting units to dodge projectiles) 5:26 17:8 You still continiously load and unload reavers in PvP to dodge dragoon projectiles. You still have mine drags, terran bio vs Zerg, mutalisk micro, feedback vs defilers, feedback vs high templars dark archons to maelstrom zerg doom drops (There's a korean replay on teamliquid where this happends, but I don't have a vod where it happens). There was a proleague game in 2011 in which a Protoss hallucinated arbiters to make the Terran waste EMPs. Then he sent in the real ones and recalled to win the game. You are so wrong. Do you think that during 2001, you saw insane tactical moves every day? If you saw them every day, they would no longer be insane.You saw a few every year, just like it was during 2010 - 2011 I can't find every video, but in 2010 ( maybe 2009 or 2011 ) there was a ZvZ on match point with a proxy hatchery in the other players base. There was a fucking OFFENSIVE NYDUS from Effort!!! And there was THIS. Yes, he lost the game, but it was a viable strategy -. he could have won. These are only a FEW examples. There is more. Yellow vs Bisu on HBR, Yellow vs Jaedong on Match point. I could go on forever. I'm going to end my post with this one video. Look at this shit, man. Jaedong using queens ZvT for ensnare. Ok, I just had to add one more video, but I swear it will be the last. This time, it's queens in ZvP for Spawn Broodling. And guess what the counter to that is? Dark fucking archons, my negro. With feedback. Oh, and I just remembered another thing: 15:55 Malestrom on the mutas. mOvie's entire run that tournament was fucking amazing, too. He beat Zero by breaking the simcity with fast reavers. He was really innovative.. | ||

See the "Shine: You should totally hate him slightly less" thread for that one. /\ This I strongly believe Shine intentionally disconnected on game 2 to gain an unfair advantage. Whatever. Flash 4-1ed him in a bo5. But that proxy nydus was ballsy, and to pull it off against gosu starsense maphacking flash of all people, that's impressive. | ||

Haven't watched all of them yet, but yes this looks more like the old stuff. You're right about how insane shit didn't happen every day but DA maelstorms were pimp plays in like 2000-2002? not sure, especially by grrr and some other toss i can't remember Queens are a new age, I guess which is kinda cool to see. But I don't recall much Ghost usage at all(boxer did it shitload, really made for great comebacks) Remember a few Flash games where he nuked his enemies in longer games though. Anyways, nice video compilation still checking it out. I wanted to say that in the older days tactical moves were more rewarding, mostly because macro wasn't that developed. So very good micro alone won you games, now it's both. Like comebacks on MICRO alone are almost non-existant, except if it's very early game or when defending cheese(tempest goon control is 0_O). | ||

The oldest game I linked was from 2007, and every other game was 2008 or later. There were dark archons in the old pimpest plays, but also in the new stuff I was talking about. Movie used them in PvZ and PvP, and there's a replay on this website that has a Protoss using maelstrom vs drops. I just remembered Jangbi used maelstrom in a recent OSL as well, although it wasn't very pimp because his templar that was going to storm them got stuck behind some units and couldn't make it there in time. | ||

JangBi was going to be the first Protoss Bonjwa too. I can guarantee that if BW had another OSL, JangBi will receive his Golden Mouse. OR are the titles from BW tranferrable to the StarTwo one? If yes, JangBi is going to get his Golden Mousu! | ||
