That was a great inspiring film. So many things I have learned about the players, as well as Nazgul.


First time I met Nazgul was at MLG Columbus. Huk, wearing EG wear, was giving me and awesome signature on the TL shirt that I had won from Liquid Weekly #10 as Nazgul walks up. "Hey this is Nazgul" Awesome! How are you doing?! "See, I get you fans!"

Does anybody thinks he knows the teamliquid guys better now after watching? I certainly don't, and I don't even follow TL that closely.
There were some funny parts in it so I don't regret watching it, but for all that hype this should have been much, much more.

The editing was really nice, the music was very fitting, production quality was awesome.

Still this was not what I had expected.

I expected a documentary with behind-the-scenes footage, getting to know the whole process of how Liquid was found, how it developed over the years, how every player had his role in this developement, how the teams deals with wins and losses by their members, I expected a film that showes me the WHOLE thing that IS Team Liquid and that keeps Team Liquid running.

This film was interviews. Sure, I got to know the players, found out some nice secrets that most people hadn't known before. But even this point was not really well done. The interviews were too short and too superficial (not in-depth). I still don't know how HerO and TaeJa and Zenio is. Well, this might have something to do with the attitude koreans have, that they are shy and don't really want to talkt about themselves. But it would've been nice to ask them really personal questions that would them make reveal at least some parts of themselves no-one has known before.

I still don't know how the team house of TL looks like, how their practice schedules work, how they even practice and play together. I don't know how they travel together to big events, how thei live there together, how they interact there together, how they spend their free time there.

I still don't know what other people that aren'T in TL think about the team. Sure, I heard Day9 and iNcontroL and HuK and djWHEAT talk about it. But I don't know their experiences with TL. Obviously TL had a huge influence in the gaming life of Day9, but I didn't get to know that.

I still don't know who Hot_Bid, Nazgul and the TL staff is, how many people work together to keep TL running and who these persons really are. I wanted to know about their gaming history, especially with Starcraft.

I still don't know TL's role in Broodwar. I don't know what TL did to deliver foreign fans the Broodwar experience that obviously was SO BIG in Korea.


There are so many questions left unanswered for me after watching this movie.

I was asked before clicking on "watch now" how much money I want to donate. I wanted to watch the film first before spending any money, cause at the moment I am pretty low on money and need it very hard.
For the content, I would pay 1$.
For the work that has been put into making this film (crew, editing, creation of graphics etc.) I would pay 1$.

I am sad that I would spend only 2 dollars for this movie.

I wonder, how much money does liquid would need to break even? If you take into account travel cost + equipment + salary I guess it could be more than 30k
