You don't see soccer (aka football) highlight videos label plays. You don't see NBA basketball best plays label stuff. *edit: this is a little unfair, some of the brood war pimpest plays give names. But try to be a little better than "biggest air battle" or overuse of "epic". A lot of the brood war videos that name stuff go for like "boxer's ninja proxy" or "willpower hold lurkers" or something to that end). basically don't label the play or "huge air battle", just label the game ("X vs Y 2011"). Keep it as simple as possible. The play is supposed to speak for itself stopped watching at idra moment because you can't have pimp plays mixed with silly moments or stupid moments (of which there were ones earlier in the video) I think it's bad to be honest, independent of issues with darkness. Poor selection and against the spirit of pimpest play/highlight videos. I think i know what you mean but i dont agree in all points (but in some). You compare Starcraft with soccer and other stuff. I dont think its legit. Starcraft is much more abstract and harder to understand than a cool soccermove. I always noticed in the BroodWar ones that for scenes i didnt see before the understanding what happened is really difficult. so I think the labels are needed here for guys who dont know the games they (the scenes) are from. but i guess my labels a shit and its true. I shouldnt use words that judge the plays like "epic", "strong" and so on, i shouldve stayed objective and just label by describing. in this point youre right but if i delete the labels completely for some scenes its hard to understand whats happening. anyways a good tip helped me a lot, i will keep an eye about this next time  | ||

After watching some actions didnt really belong in "pimpest plays" (idra leaving vs mma, kyrix vs mkp micro..). But as other pointed out they are highly repetetive on other videos. Video was too dark for my taste. The texts introducing the actions sometimes overlapped with them so we actually missed some of it (happy marine split come to mind). Some really good plays missed (sase holding baneling bust), but thats because you took 3years and wanted to make single video. I think one year would be better. The music was good and fitting i feel. | ||

Good choices of moments to show, but overproduced, I don't personally think the effects make it unwatchable as some seem to, a bit of editing can make a video more memorable and outstanding, but in this case it backfired a bit. It would be better labeled as "Best Moments" rather than "Pimpest Plays" with stuff like Idra GGing, that long but inefficient stalker micro, and that extremely long zergling vs zealot base race, those are interesting stuff, but not pimp plays. Sticking to the casters and game sound would have been better than playing your favourite music over it, a lot of people are gonna have different music tastes and enjoy it less. (fwiw, I think it feels very un-starcrafty, that it's the same band playing almost every song, and guys, it's not metal, it's much closer to punk or mainstream rock) But I liked the clips shown, would have been great with some links when possible, to be able to watch the whole matches. | ||

It feels like you based a lot on foreign scene, dunno why. | ||

The sickest one for sure for me was just a week or so later vs Bomber at DH Summer in the semi-final on Tal'darim. Baiting Bomber so hard and burrowing midfight to win a lost battle. Saw that live and had the sickest chills as a zerg player ever. Until Life, at least. | ||

There are already far more watchable highlight compilations (for example, this) out there, and virtually none of this covers new ground | ||

While I enjoy the SSL, the TLS and Gambits cup it still doesn't compare to how good the professional scene was... I would love to see a pimpest play made for the first half of 2012. The fact that the next SSL will be held where the last OSL concluded and that Sonic managed to get Yellow and NaDa to play a legends match gives me a little bit of hope that we might just see another real pimpest plays in 2014 | ||
