When I first started to watch it, I got excited, but after TLO's part ended and the next one started, I thought, wait is this really going to be a string of interviews 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc for 90 mins? When it turned out that was the case, I was disappointed. This is something that hot bid does all the time, just in a less serious way. Hot bid could have easily done a bunch of serious interviews and you would have gotten the same result as this documentary at a 1/10 of the costs. What I expected was that there would be more insider stuff shown. Talks in the team house. Following the players around mlg, ipl, etc. Showing players getting ready before matches and their reaction after matches. Instead what we got were just all sit down interviews that didn't even need to be done at the venues as the tournaments they were done at were barely, if at all talked about. As others have said, this would have been better served as just a mini web series with each player's part released over time. They're all pretty independent of each other, so it's not necessary to watch all of them in one sitting or in order. That is why it fails as a documentary. There's no overall story being told, so each segment can be watched on their own and it just ends up being a bunch of stand alone interviews back to back for 90 mins. One thing I don't understand is, I believe the director said he has hundreds of hours or hundreds of gigs of footage. Why does he have so much if his intention was just to do a bunch of sit down interviews? This documentary could have been shot in one day. Have all the liquid players at an event and then interview them 1 by 1 until it's done because in the end this is what the documentary ended up being, so all the following around to different events and korea ended up being wasted resources and a lost opportunity. | ||

Under this definition, Liquid Rising is definitely a documentary. | ||

It was an hour and a half of entertainment, I'm glad I chipped in and helped TL and got this as a reward, but I feel like it could have been more. | ||

My internet is really slow and I have a movie and other streams to catch up on. iNexus, _Ensnare_, Allosaurus, Pyramid and Ghibli. I had a hard time finding any music from them aside from iNexus and _Ensnare_ though. | ||

The addition of team house tours, behind the scenes at tournaments and on the road to tournaments would definitely be nice to have and rank it up a few notches, but imho not necessary for it to be called it a documentary. | ||
