StarCraft Legacy, in Association with Team Liquid, Proudly Presents...
Pimpest Plays 2006
I'll be the first to say that this feature took to long and the last to say that we ever gave up. It's been a time consuming and difficult road, but we have finally reached the end. Pimpest Plays 2006 is live. Even in 2006, 8 years after the release of StarCraft and StarCraft Broodwar, the game's players and play have continued to evolve. The art of StarCraft is still practiced by people whose huge passion for the game is only surpassed by their skill and innovation. There were hundreds of submissions from the community. Some were great - others weren't. We invited many consultants and some answered the call - others did not. We have attempted to take from hundreds - the very best of StarCraft 2006.
To address the questions before they are asked.
Will there be a Pimpest Plays 2006 movie?
Yes, but it is not coming out right now. Over the past nine months we've had 5 movie makers commit to the project and then later drop out. We're currently working with two talented individuals that will be creating another awesome part to this feature.
It's 8 months late - why?
That question has too many answers. We had issues with every portion of the project.
What about PP07? And will it be on time?
PP07 is already in development with some awesome new and exciting features planned for/in it. It will not be late.

Note: If you encounter a bug where sound stops working on Google Videos, try reloading the page. It seems to happen when you watch 5-6 videos in a short period of time.
Note: The replays must be watched in 1.13.
Request: We were unable to find the Tasteless cast of Reach vs YellOw from WWI 2006, so I included a replay capture instead. If anyone has this VOD, hook us up.
