I just want to say that it is not true. Huk was a MLG champion when he was in Millenium, before he went to TL. (he also became a better player in TL and had a lot of tournament success there, but don't try to belittle his achievement in others team plz...) | ||

If the time was cut down it would be a good short team bio flick. | ||

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool, by making his world a little colder It's a great video, if you're a fan of any of these players then you'll be entertained. | ||

So there's no competitive spirit worth capturing at recent SC2 events? The guy with the handycam at WCG USA 200X who filmed Artosis, Tasteless, Day9, Frozz etc did a documentary that accurately portrayed and captured the emotions of competing in a western eSports event. Very disappointed. This should be extra material on disc 2 that you can watch to get more info on the individual players after having watched the main feature - the documentary itself. Hope the crowd sourced one on Tastosis will be a lot better. | ||

I dunno why people are complaining, I really liked it. Some of that made me feel, man. Especially the story of how Sheth got his name. Anyway, considering how successful this was I wouldn't be at all surprised for every other team out there to start making one of their own. | ||

Props to people like Sundance for giving as well. I dunno why people are complaining, I really liked it. Some of that made me feel, man. Especially the story of how Sheth got his name.

No other team will get as much donation as TL, so probably not. | ||

It had so much potential, there aren't alot of documentaries of the hardships and lifestyle that a pro-gamer faces. Instead what we get is a series of edited interviews of Liquid members that we've seen before. Even if the thought of watching these cobbled interviews come across as exciting to you, the questions asked were very rote and uninteresting. If you had no background knowledge of the individuals that make up the Liquid team, it would be really hard to discern what separates them from people who just like Starcraft. Why is being a pro-gamer worth dedicating to? How does daily life feel when fill in the shoes of what is expected being a part of a team with the same goals and passion? Why weren't questions like these asked? The movie has no sense of direction and there isn't a single incentive of why you should keep your eyes on the movie, why this had to be a movie and not an audio presentation is beyond me. For Liquid fans, this movie does nothing to add or gain insight on the team that you've been endlessly supporting. For everyone else, this movie paints a disturbingly gray picture on a colorful cast of diverse and talented individuals. Regardless of who the documentary was for, "Team" Liquid deserved better. | ||

Comparing it to this documentary, I also kinda get all all of the above, but it seemed a little bit too superficial, maybe playing a bit too "safe", afraid of upsetting people by asking the tough questions. But that's exactly what makes a good documentary in my opinion. | ||

The interviews with the players were ok. have seen their streams were you get to know them pretty well personality wise. the thing that made this good for my part in Nazguls thoughts behind his team project. how he thinks when it comes to player signings and his patience with them. i have myself wondered why some of the players havent been kicked out of the team because of lack of results. I now understand more that the harmony within the team is what has caused players with big talents to rise to the occation. especially hero and huk. I think alot of other teams can learn from Nazguls philosophy. At least I did. | ||

I don't know what people expected, I wasn't really looking forward to it but in the end it was an amazing experience. Had a huge grin on my face most of the time and got a little teary at times. Would watch and donate again. | ||

I forgot about this. I'll probably continue watching that documentary intermittently but this one, as much as I enjoyed it, was nothing more than a series of interviews. I don't know if the WCG documentary can be replicated as the people featured in it were just everyday gamers like you and me. The difference between Day9 in that one, and Liquid Rising, is huge (And I think I prefer old Day9) | ||
