Well done man. I thought this to be an incredibly well-done bit, and although people around here are extremely well informed, and in Korea WCG tends not to be the biggest thing, I thought it to be a GREAT representation of the gaming scene to people who've never even heard of SC before. And especially after reading and understanding the prerequisites for this, excellent, excellent job.

Well, these are the players they've lost, as far as I'm aware:

Nal_rA (KTF)
Gorush (SKT T1)
Midas (SKT T1)

Thanks man, I enjoyed it greatly!

I did however ROFL when I heard the "now he controls 3/4 of the map" lol thats maybe a bit too amateurish to say, and the English voice dub was horrible but thats nothing new- English dubbing is always extremly terrible for any anime I've ever seen dubbed in the USA so I'm used to it.

I would have liked if you mentioned Xellos's victory in thr Olympus 2003 OSL... to win the OSL (or the Korean WCG itself) is a much bigger honor for Koreans than the actual WCG.
Also would be awesome to see progamers like Boxer/Yellow/Reach say a few words about Xellos, what they think about him as a rival, very important in a personal docu imo! lots of gamers (of any game) would recocnize Boxer for example, and hearing him say possitive words about Xellos would be a good credibility booster for people who never heard of him before, and I'm sure lots of top progamers would say great things about him as a rival.

Overall I give it 9/10 for the great enjoyment and hope for another one :-)

You should have mentioned that the KOrean WCG is 452345234582734523475 times harder than the WCG Finals,

but I liked how the documentary revolved around Korea, like it should be.

Thanks so much. I'm going to watch this documentary soon, some of the people I know in real life actually have seen it before me. They don't even play SC and say it is pretty cool; that really means you did a great job. Keep it up.

Sidenote;

Boxer is 25? or even more and he's still owning things up hardcore, they shouldn't lay so much weight on that your carreer is over when you are 25. :O

Yeah, that was a really effective method to show the games. You could know nothing of starcraft or rts gaming at all and still understand what was going on. That was a really great documentery.

Would have been great for people who dont know much about the gaming scene due to the simplification. A couple of exaggerations however. "Point 0000005 of a second matters in that game". and "The russian comes in with a GAZILLION Fighter planes"

But overall, brilliant work.

meRz: Boxer is almost 27 I think, and yeah he's still kicking ass :-) not as much as before though, I'm not sure however if its because he's getting older or because all the rookies are getting so much better these days, maybe both.

just watched it. pretty cool. a few annoying mistakes were present, but i'm pretty sure they were only there to make things a little easier to follow for people not familiar with progaming. i liked how they did the storyline sorta thing with the revenge subplot n stuff. cute

it was misleading in that they made out that WCG was the most important/desired thing to be winning. pretty much everything was scaled according to WCG results; guillame getting 3rd, xellos being "world champion" because he won in 04 and that if silent_control beat xellos he'd be an overnight sensation... come on. WCG champ just doesn't come with that kind of status in korea among players or fans for that matter. and with hardly a breath inbetween they said the top players only win 60/40 so why would a loss to silent_control be such a shock.

i think they should have shed some light on the scene in korea in regards to prize money/status/priority of korean leagues and tournaments vs WCG. n that there's an expiry date at 25? as far as im concerned, like in physical sports you can play top level up til about 30. it's just that starcraft's only been out 7 years or so and it's unlikely people would have started playing it at 23 or 24 years old, but rather more likely at 14-17 years old.

your partially right and partially wrong
wcg 2004 and before was all about wcg korea
wcg 2005 was about wcg finals
wcg 2006 will be about wcg korea (oov midas sumozerg > fisheye even)
