The whole point of the episodes 1-3 was that Yellow was totally half-assing it. It was supposed to piss you off.

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 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'm giving my opinion of the show. Am I not allowed to do that? Is it some how disallowed on this forum? Please direct me to where it says "You are not allowed to say what you think about this show, unless people agree with you that is."
It's a show about Yellow's journey training for a Code A qualifier. That's a documentary. I'm saying what I think about the show. Again... Where does it say I'm not allowed to do that?

I think it should be available now, or at least in about 4 hours at the most.

I love the relationship that Yellow and TheWind have in this show. TheWind has such a good time telling Yellow about how bad he plays lol

Oh shit, I missed it this week.
Do you guys know when it is usually up on GOMtv?

Yeah, the show is fun, but please put more actual gameplay snippets. It's like a musical without singing, and a sports movie without any real sports scenes. And wow if the guest is + Show Spoiler +Nal_rA.. well it won't necessarily mean that Nal_rA is playing SC2. It could be just him giving Yellow advice on such type of TV show, because he also participated in one for his attempted BW comeback.

Every 'journey' series has a few episodes where you focus on character developments. Yes, the show is about Yellow getting better at SC2, but we must first relate & care about him or the show won't really hold together. This episode showed his change in attitude, and how the showmatch has motivated him to get better. Think of it as a transitional piece. I'm sure future episodes will focus more on his gaming.

I have seen both of those shows and with both they show a lot more gaming and evidence of training. The show is good but this is a legit complaint I feel. With Old Boy they had quite a bit of gaming and training per episode but still had a lot of talking, etc.

This is more a korean variety show rather than a documentary. It's edited in such a way to maximize entertainment rather than truth. I guess they could show gold level play and horrible blunders in these episodes but I mean, it'll probably be like watching Lim-Jin Rok all over again. Maybe when yellow gets better it'll be worth it. But like I said earlier, it's fabricated reality - there's some truth to it but it's manipulated. It's also more about the players rather than the game itself. At least, that's what I watch it for.

This is true, but if I recall correctly they eased into it similarly to how they are doing with this show. As someone above stated, they have to showcase the personalities in order for people to have an emotional connection to the show.

+ Show Spoiler +He's been playing SC2 since the beta, but military service probably keeps him busy. I remember in Old Boy he stated one of the reasons for doing the show was to prepare for SC2 and see if he had what it takes to re-enter pro-gaming. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wXtZl.png) Unfortunately the military service hit him in the middle of it so it'll be a while before we see what he ends up doing, but at the very least he'll have kept up with the trends & can give YellOw advice on the mindset it takes to re-enter pro-gaming when you currently suck. Plus the viewers will go nuts, I know I will.

This show is actually more of a variety show as is korea than anything else....which is why I like it!
