like it, paid 5$. but I like the design of the poster even more! this is a really professional one ... who made that?!
and its been refreshing to see some honest interviews. who in the world would talk about family issues and depression in public like this. i had no real idea about sheth and tyler before, but they became my favotite players now by just a minute of honest talking. this is what e-sports needs. some real persons behind the nicknames! love it!
btw, from my experience, koreans are just a bit more superficial. thats why hero is only talking about appereance
one thing to mention: according to some interviews, every liquid player should be the best in the world if they just would practice a bit more professionaly. so, in conclusion, if everybody would practice professionaly, who would be the best among the liquid players then??
paid $10. I enjoyed the vid quality. Regardless if ppl say its a documentary or not, its still great high quality contentent and hearing about all the players was enjoyable ^__^
I think people were hoping for something intense, or drama filled tho lol.
I really liked it. I agree with those that said that it felt like a long interview, which I have no problems with. I loved the songs used, the animation, and nonmembers input such as djWheat, MC, day9, etc. I was hoping to see more of their daily lives like running errands, going to the market, etc. I know that it's pretty basic, but other documentaries did it just fine. Here are some of my favorite documentaries that have probably been posted already.
Donated $10. Deserving quality. I've paid more to see WORSE movies in the theater. Can't wait to watch it again tonight! Definitely gonna show it to some of my non-SC2 friends. Show them that there's actually some personality to the game!
It was good, but I can't see how one can call bunch of interviews a document. There is no way if I show this to someone who have never played games would take this as a documentary. They would just go like wtf? Bunch of interviews whats the catch? They would propably stop watching it after 20-30minutes.
Like someone allready suggested, why not show them going to the store and filming people that recognize them or something awesome? That everyone could relate to and be like "damn thats cool". This could have been soo much better, but Ill take it as it is with open arms anyway. Just being a bit critic :E.
I am more of the half-casual Platinum Player but I really enjoy watching eSports and I really like Team Liquid. Watching the movie made me get to know the players better and now I like TL even more. In spite of that I am quite disappointed in the movie. It is just Interviews, about 90% player introduction. No history, no stories, no tournaments, no match content, not showing the life of the players. To be honest, 1 1/2 hours of interviews is just boring, no matter what the subject is. An outsider would turn it off after 10 minutes and I can not show this to non-Starcraft friends either, because they would fall asleep watching it and be convinced that Starcraft is not interesting at all :-(
Well I must admit that I had huge expectations about this documentary. TeamLiquid is not known for doing bad quality work and it also has the resources to pull something great. Also, the delays made me think that they are cooking something really cool. But, sadly, no.
This documentary has no real goal set. ESPORTS has so much room for a quality documentary and all they could pull is 90 of interviews where everyone is praising its teammates. Really? Such a narrow vision. Also, if your are going for separate sections for each player that alone goes agains the team spirit. We need to see Liquid Rising not Meet the Heavy, Meet the Spy, etc.
I could go on, but I am disappointed and I don't want to dig to much into this feeling. I hope the rest of the directors out there take a look at this big blunder and learn a lot.
Donated 20 bucks because i really enjoyed the interviews with my favorite team, and it was a very nice reintroduction with some nice tidbits of information. The timeline was nice.
That said, it was not a very good documentary, and I think the value from it to someone that is not already invested into the SC2 scene is pretty much close to zero. I can't show this movie to a friend to introduce them to SC2, that is for sure.
No background information to set the scene, and not really any tangible storyline.
As Ghad, ceaRshaf and probably a lot of others before me just posted, not much of a documentary. Thanks for the effort, but it's just no good. It's just some interviews, not really a documentary. What I'd like to have seen was either something for e-sports people, or something both e-sports people and the rest of the world might enjoy watching. Small setup for the latter scenario:
0 Outline of the documentary, what are we going to see? (2 mins) 1 What is e-sports? (5 mins) 2 What is Starcraft? (10 mins tops) -SC1 competition, PL 2005 finals, fangirls, boothgirls, cool commercials with reach, etc. -hard work for little gain for most players, passion, ramen and cleaning toilets -sc2 and how the weight of the community has shifted to europe, roles of america, korea and china. Get some colourful players (Idra, MC, Stephano) in to add some glamour. 3 What is Team Liquid? (20 mins) -Community (Staff, users, gamers) (2 min) -Pro team (Players and staff, training at home and in Korea, tournaments, victories) (18 min) -Just give a short blurb per player, talkovers during some of his most epic battles instead of too much face, show achievements, prize money, awesomeness in general. 4 Pro ending with lots of noise, cool imagery and a decent list of who's done what for the doc, like in a film.
yeah thats pretty much the point.. I showed Star Nation trailer a while ago to my cousin who knows nothing about SC and he was intigued to say the least, but this? I really doubt he would watch it..
Dont get me wrong its not bad or anything, butwhat was the poing of going to all those events if really you could have done all the interviews at the TL HQ?
I would really have liked to watch the first version of the idea without Taeja and Zenio...
and I payed 10 $ without even watching it first, but I still dont know why they had to go to all those events just to show interviews..
Didn't really expect this interview format.. I kind of expected it to be a camera crew following the liquid guys, and that we'd get to see them interacting with each other, fans, other players etc as they fought their way through a tournament.
Like this doesn't even make much sense, sure there's footage from more than one event and nice graphics but honestly these interviews could easily have been made all at one time and put together into a movie in one week.
Essentially just a bunch of team mates telling everyone how great their team mates are. Don't get it..
I thought it was done well... but I was disappointed that it turned out to just be a series of team member bios.
A good example of the type of documentary I was hoping for would be in the same style as "I Got Next." You can watch that documentary for free here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/297036 (US only on Hulu.)
Description: "I Got Next" is a documentary on the fighting game community. It follows four prominent players, Justin Wong, Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez, Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli and Mike Ross through their experiences in the scene with the release of Street Fighter 4, which has caused a resurgence in the fighting game genre and a rekindling of the East Coast/West Coast rivalry that had died down in years past.
It's really well done and has a great sense of excitement every time the music kicks in.
I don't follow the Fighting Game scene at all and I watched the entire thing.
