I really enjoyed it. I wish there was more about the players though. Things like their other hobbies, daily life, what kind of background they came from would have been really interesting as well.

As an entire documentary, I didn't like it, there was nothing really that tied the pieces together.

The pieces themselves though, were fantastic. I particularly liked Nony recalling TSL2, Sheth's name origin, and I got shivers when I heard TLO describe his tendon pain.

So it was very well done, I guess my constructive criticism is that it should have been released as separate videos "profiling" each TL player, since there was nothing really tying all the profiles together.

That movie was so inspirational.. I was tearing up, especially at around 58:00 with the shot of HerO when he was playing HuK on the mainstage of MLG. Last time I felt this way was when HuK won Dreamhack against Moon. I also find it funny how HerO always has to comment on how his team mates look

Only one word can describe this insane piece of art: NerdChills.

Thank you Team Liquid. For everything.

I am actually at the age to have seen U2's Rattle and Hum in a cinema the opening week. And I have to say that the feeling seeing Liquid Rising is quite similar! Absolutely great stuff !!!!

You know I want to say...... despite the wait, this is very professionally done and does not disappoint in the slightest. People need to be more patient, excellence doesn't appear out of nowhere.

Also i think that the film would have benefited from a more critical point of view on the players.
I can understand that you don't talk bullshit about your teammates, but i liked HuK the best. Everyone else said that the teammates are talanted, nice and funny. ... And Hero told us how they look.
I really like HuK because he says what he thinks, it doesn't matter if it's a good thing or a bad thing, he just says it. I didn't expect them to get the koreans to say something critical, but well i would have enjoyed if the other interviews were a little bit deeper. It felt like when you are asked to describe a classmate infront of class, suddenly all are nice and friendly, that's good enough for a class, but not good enough for a documentary.

Hate to be negative, but 2 hour doco about sc2 players and it doesn't actually talk about sc2 at all. Quite boring, although some of the players are somewhat interesting, most of the time I was anticipating it to 'get to the story' or get to some kind of narrative. I know its not meant to be like that, like some drama or something. But honestly it dragged and was boring.

I really appreciate the documentary. As a fellow filmmaker though, I have some constructive criticism.

I felt that this might have worked better as a mini-series, with each episodes focusing on different players on the team. You could have hyped each episodes week in advance. As it is, I felt it was a bit boring after a while.

From a technical side of thing, the sound mix level needs some work. The movie also feels a bit too.... "quiet" as a whole. Some music to accompany the more personal interviews might have been good.

I also feel you need a LOT more B-rolls to cover the talking head sections. We don't always need to see the people talking to know who it is. The mantra is "Show, don't tell", right? For example, during Tyler's section about his depression, it would have been better to show that he is depressed rather than hearing him talk about it. Of course, this is easier said than done, but the best documentaries all do this well.


I generally agree with you. More parts with more time dedicated to every player, I think they have enough material to expand it already. For a documentary I like the pure interviews sound-wise, music would distract me. Visually, I really liked the cartoons, they fitted so well but there were only few. More of those please Maybe they could save some time consolidating the event videos and others over the talking a bit, where it's relevant of course.
