I disagree. 'Name value' helps you understand the elements of the game that led up to that point. Between progamers, you know the macro and pressure up to that point in the game has been strong. Between amatures, someone could have gotten a huge/weird army just because their opponent sucked. It's cool to see someone get maelstrom in progaming, it's not so cool to see a B level player stomp some C+ noobie with it.

Wouldn't them being amateur be evident from the things before the moment? Stuff like micro, response time, maybe even minimap distribution... However most of the highlights were not just things anyone can do - it was mostly execution from skilled players at worst, not C+ chumps.

although its not a compilation of PROGAMER footage, i still think that putting names of progamers for stuff they didnt actually do is not right. the scenes were cool, awesome, yes. but putting false info like that only confuses people (who follow the progaming scene).

maybe someone who saw the video tells his friend, "wow, did you that july vs oov game on destination?" response: "? that never happened" etc

i do remember july owning mm with mutas, but it was on a space tileset. and if they were reenacting the pimp plays, they should at least pick the right map

Well, that Savior game on Destination with the plagued battlecruisers wasn't any of the games played during PL, GOM, OSL, or MSL. Or any of the other games, so I don't know.

Great movie !
Intro a little too long though.
If only we could have had a bigger screen battle in real game... That'd make starcraft so great ! :D
I love it

Oh and : xellos reaction time is Flawless with a big F.

I can't seem to download it. It stops at around 30% and just quickly says that the download has been complete. However, once I try to unzip it, the file becomes corrupt. Anyone else having this problem?

Really enjoyed it. I think if you feel like touching it up, you could add the names of each player (you did on about half of them). Some I've always wondering WHO the players were, like that time the 2 DT were running by the middle of the map (no shuttle) and destroyed around 90% of the Terran army.

I especially liked when you did use the names how you had the races unit next to them (like the hydralisk next to Yellow's name). Probably my fav SC video made so far though, well done!

Very nice vid! Overall good but my only complaint is your sound levels. When you insert the game sound effects it's too loud compared to the music. Other than that it's pure AWESOME.

me too rofl

i thought the intro was cute with the goliath and carriers

I knew something was weird with some games like savior vs mind on destination the bc one because i watch a shit ton of games of vods and reps and i didnt recognize the game.

At first i thought since he was moon he maybe he got some secret reps from nada or something
