Also the trailer got me really hyped. After 40 minutes I went to bed because frankly spoken it was boring. Please don't ban me but as a paying customer I feel like I just should criticize and tell you why I didn't like it: - It consists almost exclusively of interviews - Most interviews were constructed using the same pattern (cool,funny,talented dude that is not playing to his potential) - There was no footage of what happens around the players and the organisation - There was no story told (despite in the intro by showing the years and what happened and tlo's story) - I didn't learn much new about TL and the Players What I liked was: - Little insight into the personalities (hero and jinro) - Hearing Nazgul's thoughts (very rare) I would not pay for that again... * Disappointed * Agree. It's more like celebrating TL than a docomentary. But it's free so it's allright. | ||

Hmm then I am confusing the term 'pay what you want'. Also they asked for money before watching it. Seems like paying to me. Anyways I expected more from TL than just a bunch of interviews and I will not pay/contribute for another 'documentary'. | ||

I liked it but it could've been better. It could have told us more that we didn't know, like how they got in to starcraft in the first place and how they went from good players to great players. Maybe something about their childhood etc. I didn't learn much I didn't know but then again I guess it's hard to go that deep with 9 people in an hour and a half. | ||

It's not really an example of 'entitlement' to have an honest opinion, or to express it, on a Teamliquid product, in the space provided for exactly such opinions. There is a problem with gamers who do have an overinflated sense of entitlement, but this isn't an instance of it - the commenter was even worried about being banned for his opinions, hardly a sign that he considered himself entitled to anything... | ||

first, i used to teach movies analysis, and scenario writing for ten years. my comment may seams arsh, but it's exactly what i say to my student if they turn this work to me for notation. general critiscim : Picture is really nice, not overworked, but good. Sound is horrible. who's mix that ? the volume for each "intro" is too loud, the balance / normalisation is overall bad. The music is your choice, i dont find it particulary appropriate but it's ok. the mixing isn't. The title, and the anime part on the begining give me hope that like a good movie, a good documentary, a good everything, it tell something, a narrative construction that tell the rise of a team, the transition to a really pro team, or the importance of the community around TL. Sorry but i find nothing of that in the rest of the movie. I'm not a "ragebot" but i agree with the comment too long interview, with nothing new. borring edit and content. I was really waiting to see this "first" Starcraft (team) docu, and i'm mostly disapointed. My favorite part is the texte anime at the begining. really well made. the rest is immediatly forgetable. The director must take a narrative course and rework all that. with all the content he already have he can choose a narrative arc and make a real docu / movie. My2Cent | ||

I think that the reason why some people are disappointed is because it was hyped alot. It is a decent documentary, and we expected a great one. My favorite part was when djwheat was describing how he made Jinro offer a drink to his wife. Very touching  | ||

Agree with most other comments, it's a good docu, and gave me more insight into the members of TL (as I'm not a long time sc2 fan, but switched over from FPS games). It didn't show me much about anything else which goes on in Liquid (inner workings of TL, storylines/rivalries at tournaments, big results for TL etc. etc.), maybe a good idea for a next docu? Props to TL though for this being the first proper team docu (as far as i know?)! | ||

Same here, I personally couldn't stand the player interviews with 60 minutes of high praises. I'm not sure what I expected from it though, so maybe that was the point of it. | ||
