Well boy this can certainly needs some improvements. Honestly I think you should always prioritize replays over Vods. Skip the commentary and just record it yourself. (Obviously not possible with GSL but the quality from there is accaptable). The bad quality VODs are just sheer pain to the eyes. You need to shorten down some of the clips as well, for they got quite boring at times.

Other than that, good effort and still better than anything I could do!

you are awesome for remaking the pimpest plays, and I hope it makes a comeback because it was one of my favorite BW videos to watch, but these plays were really not that great, maybe someone should make a thread and everyone post their favorite replays and note the time of the pimpass plays and then everyone votes on it

Loved it. Although it's nice people are recommending clips that would have been better suited for the video..its all a matter of opinion and I think you did a kick ass job. Thanks!

too long intro, too much time spent on each clip, gimmicky (not pimp) plays, too much commentary. overall not fun to watch.

what do you mean by gimmicky??? pimpest plays was allways about unorthodox and/or cheesy situations.

I disagree with 90% of the clips, in fact the only clip I would have kept is TLO vs Hyperdub. But anyway thank you for the vid.

Awesome Awesome Awesome! It's amazing how many of these games I actually remember watching from the early early Beta....even the David Kim vs. Psyonic game from his stream I remember watching live :-D So exciting to get to see all of that again--great job!

pimpest plays was always gimmicks. i remember there was one where a Terran sent a bunch of scvs to an empty expo to trick the Zerg's overlord scout into believe that the Terran FE'd when he was actually gearin up for an early push. It was pretty gimmicky/cheesy and yet pretty pimp.

IMO, pimpest plays are stuff that's gimmicky and cheesy and if it works, you're baller and if fails you've just made urself look stupid.

Wow, great video, I think there are some that you could definitely include in there too.

Only thing I think you need to improve are the transitions from one play to the next.

IMO the reason why the stuff in this isn't the "best" or as good as the older PP's is cause SC2's really only been out for half a year...

Clips were a little too drawn out, but overall good production

Some of the clips were funny, but not necessarily epic / a "pimpest play," as others have suggested.

I like what you are doing but I think you should rethink what clips go in. For example the mothership thing shouldnt of made it in. Yeah it was funny at the time but it was grossly OP and was nerfed a ton. That clip was from early beta! Also the ones with bad quality shouldn't of made it in, and less commentary please.

Man, im sad that you only used about 2 clips from gsl. There were much better moments there than in a lot of the videos you used, no offense. Why not some foxer marine micro or MC's insane pushes, or adelscott's proxy 2gate from dreamhack?

I realized right soon after i put this out and from all the feed back that I missed a lot of really worthy candidates. I felt i needed to do justice to 2010 so I've been hard at work on a "volume II" pimpest plays 2010. I'm thinking of releasing that in the next few days. I pretty much uploaded this one, went to eat christmas dinner and began hunting down vods for the volume 2 cuz I got a lot of immediate response for this. gonna update OP for more info.

I'm sad this game wasn't shown. The clip is rather short, exemplifies amazing micro in a huge tournament setting, perfect for the top 10 pimpest plays:

GSL Season 1
sSKS vs NEXFreeSaGA [Round of 32 match 9]
Set 3

Metalopolis PvP: FreeSaGA blind double proxy gates and sSKS holds off with 1 gate and probes.
