So from starting episode 4 it will be training and how he practices for a qualifier? It's almost certain that Yellow will visit some teamhouses and practice with them to check his skill level :p In his address at the beginning of this episode, Yellow made it sound like the real training will take place onward from episode 4, so I think you are right. I wonder who his three guests at the table will be next episode. | ||

I don't think that showing him practice all the time is important, of course you want some of that but I feel that should be a minority of the show. A lot of the importance of the show is his mindset, and his progression as a player, which in this kind of training situation is going to come from a lot of talking about the game etc. You don't need to show me a 40 minute video of him just sitting in front of the computer. I want to see a short five minute segment of him sitting down in front of the computer, then showing the clock, and then showing the clock again ten hours later. Yellow complaining about how exhausting it is to play for 12 hours straight, going to bed. Waking up, turning on the computer and going straight back to practicing. That is all you need to give the viewers an impression that he's actually practicing and making an effort. I'm not interested in hearing "I'm gonna do it, I'm motivated now. It's time to do it." In the words of Morpheus from The Matrix. "Show me." Are you people who are dissing me seriously thinking they can't find five minutes to either fucking fake it, or put a segment like that in there? I want to see evidence of him practicing, and practicing hard. This show has been a major disappointment to me so far, because it just seems like a couple of friends having a laugh. | ||

Lol apparently you don't understand what these types of shows are supposed to be like. Whatever, but take your QQ and hatred somewhere else please. | ||

I watch plenty of documentaries about people training for events, and they show evidence of hard work and dedication. This show, however, does not. It's funny how you think it's QQ and hatred because I'm giving my honest opinion that this show has been a disappointment to me. And that's only because you don't agree with me. | ||

It's just a matter of taste. They don't have to show whole games, but I think it would be much better storytelling, if they showed some in-game footage of his worst moments in gold league, and his reactions to it etc, like they did a bit with the Boxer showmatch. Then later they could show him doing all these things that he couldn't do before in the later episodes. Think of the scene where Rocky's trainer makes him chase a bunch of chickens or jump rope and he fails miserably, then after all the hard training, you see him succeed. Just like that. Would be so epic! :p | ||

Yellow's match history has him playing against someone named Nalra, and he's also played against Nestea and other progamers. Oh, SHIT. When does Nal_rA get out of the army, anyway? It's still another year or so, right? | ||

IT'S NOT A DOCUMENTARY! It's been a disappointment for you, but does that mean the show should change especially for you when it's already entertaining for other people? | ||

I think the problem is that you are thinking of this as a Documentary. Which it is not supposed to be. It's supposed to be in the same vein as Nal_rA's Old Boy or Hyung Joon Becomes a Pro Gamer. Its main purpose is entertainment. | ||
