That's right damn it! No more of this "waiting until the end of the year" to compile a list of amazing plays. We've proven over the last 3 years that the old method for PP's just doesn't cut it in this age of massive number of games.
Here's the deal. You find a great move, whether it be strategy, decision making, deception, build order, micro move, whatever! You find it, you post it here with COMPLETE description and information. If you don't want your find to be overlooked, it's in your best interest to provide as much information as possible to me right?
So when you find a great play, fill in this data!!
Date
League Name - round of XX
Player 1 vs Player 2
Map Name
Link to vod or replay(foreign game), with time marker in the video!!
Description of Player X doing the Pimp move and how it changed the game and totally rocked!!
The recent Pimpest Plays have failed to come out because of the massive amount of work the small number of PP staff had to do to filter through the submissions. By distributing the workload onto the potential of the TL community, I'm confident that we'll have a much easier and actually fun time doing this. I'll be doing my part by keeping this OP up to date, so long as you guys make it easy for ME to do that by following the above guidelines.
Hell we might as well make this TL's own inaugural "Liquid Plays 2009" since we're doing all the work!! <3 (I was going to name this thread Pimpest Plays 2009, but decided to change it at last minute, hell I dont even have permission from the site staff but screw them I'm going ahead and making this shite anyways!)
Go forth my minions!

Light vs Tempest

Time marker not needed because the amazingness extends throughout the game.
Light Center BBS bunker rushes against Tempest's 1 gate range dragoon first. Tempest shows absolutely mindblowing micro, starting with probe/goon defense and ending with just extended stretches of flawless dragoon control with just ONE DRAGOON! The dragoon ends up with 32(33 after Light types out) kills by the time Light types out.

haji, you should also add that goon is full red during whole fight and consistently charged by a shield battery
edit:i think that's kill record of any nonsplash units.

Winner's League 2009 - KTF vs ACE game 2
Hoejja vs Anytime
Destination
+ Show Spoiler [Description by CDRDude] +
Anytime vs 
HoeJJa on Destination. Anytime started with a normal FE on destination, and Hoejja went (i think) overpool gas. Instead of ling speed, Hoejja went for a burrow rush, and I think zergling speed as well.(at 4:30)
Anytime already suspected something, because he had a cannon halfway completed. Even so, I think there were 3 probe kills, and mining time lost. Even when he could no longer reasonably attack probes, he had burrowed zerglings in Anytime's main, providing him with information, and probably altering anytime's building placement.
Even if the 3 probe kills didn't change the course of the game, having InfoLings(tm) in Anytime's base for about 5 minutes probably did. Additionally, at 8:52 the lings forced a cannon to cancel, and 30 seconds later got another probe kill (but sadly died in the effort).

(at 11:30)
Later in the game, Hoejja used the same trick again, but this time with lurkers, getting 2 lurkers into Anytime's main. Anytime still didn't have observers at the time, and lost a gateway because of it. While the initial burrow rush was surely the pimpest moment, Hoejja's use of burrow throughout the game was fantastic; killing probes, gaining 5 minutes worth of scouting information, canceling buildings, delaying Anytime's third, and destroying a gateway were all combined into an exceedingly clever strategy.
. After the moves are done we can organize them/get more people and if someone wants they can use the moves to make a highlight video. With this method i dont think this thread would live till the end of 2009. And you dont have to watch 2000 full games if the people who uploaded gave the time where the move occurs.
I'll do 2009 games now
