EPTYesterday I thought to myself: "Ohh! So many Starcraft documentaries coming out soon, I seriously cannot wait!" Then I went home and started youtubing the different teasers and trailers to each particular documentary - so awesome it is going to be!
After watching the teasers and trailers, it made me want to watch some of the old documentaries and series from BW. Like the Nal_rA series, WCG documentary, Raxer - The Hax Life and many others. After I watched some of the Nal_rA episodes I felt like watching Boxer's Wings, but I just couldn't find it!
I hate when things like this happens. Because I didn't know the exact name, I had to search around youtube, forums, and fanclubs until I finally found the clip I was looking for (it took 10~ish minutes, found it on liquipedia). This made me think, why not make a post on the general forum with the title:
ALL THE DOCUMENTARIES AND WHAT NOT SERIES ABOUT STARCRAFT
That way people can find them! - "Such a nice person I am", I thought to myself <3
I took about 1,5-2 hours and this is what I came up with:
+ Show Spoiler +
We hear about documentaries all the time, all over the place - also in the Starcraft community. In just a month Team Liquid have announced their documentary to be released, and we (many of us) eagerly await the documentary along with others like "Star Nation" and "Good Game".
I was wondering, how many documentaries and documentary like programs/videos are there out there, about Starcraft 1 and 2? With this I mean mostly on the Internet.
I can only remember some of them, so if you would please help me fill out the blanks there might be.

A documentary about Team Liquid, following the team in way that is well put by themselves: "This isn't going to be a completely unbiased film. Spoiler alert: the Liquid players are cool.

We believe strongly in our players and our story, and if something negative happens, we're not going to pretend or cut it out. We believe this film can be both awesome and honest".
Star Nation documentary

I liked BW and still do, but trust me, I know nothing about the tournaments and what not compared to other people in here - but when and if I have time, I will seriously consider what you are saying!
