Does no one else feel like there was alot of tension in those parts they showed, like they took the most dramatic moments from following them. The scene with Kevin was really intense and you could tell liquid were all pissed about the dates, like i think its pretty obviously shown, and Ret really had done barely any research on the players, every player they talked about he just hadn't done research on them, think that might say alot about his motivation and time invested at the moment, I actually don't feel like this group was the happy go lucky liquid that we are used too.

That was really excellent. It's interesting to see the thought about what order players will get sent out, and matchup preferences, and everything. It looked like the player comfort levels were a huge factor.

Also, I saw no Sheth?

Didn't watch all of it, but the majority of the time you see public people are in situations where it's very easy to be happy go lucky as you put it, but in private it's much more like... family/business/friends combination and there's of course tense situations where people disagree or whatever.

If anyone knows, what is the 40-80-120 stuff Victor was talking about during the player contract renewals?

Should I be reading this as "Cholera, sick doc." or "Cholera-sick doc."?

Yeah, there wasn't really a chance to play ZvT in either series. :/

I don't know how he feels about ZvP, but I would be inclined to pick him instead of Ret in the second series.

what was the 40-80-120 thing ?

how much extra cash they get per game won or smthing?

Very true man, after thinking about it and sobering up a bit I have to commend Liquid, most teams wouldn't release footage like this imo because it doesn't show what we are used to, this is real conflict, real emotions, and actually just the players and staff being themselves!
Still sad that Ret appears to have not done his research for TAC because I really like Ret but the commitment may not always be there :/ Thanks for releasing this guys

Agreed but man without Sheth(in the video), (what was Huk formerly in TL) and Jinro (even tho he faded towards the end) everyone just seemed high strung / kinda miserable. I miss that feeling of when I saw TL members at MLG a year ago or in other documentaries that super happy up beat feeling. I almost felt sad if not for TLO after watching this video :/

I don't think people are really sad or anything. I think people were just super serious. Also, I didn't get that impression much at all, to be perfectly honest. At any rate, I can confirm that people on TL are not secretly pessimistic people.

don't listen to this man. you have seen the glitch in the matrix!

the streaming, the tweets, the articles, the fanclub posts.

ALL LIES MEANT TO CONTROL YOU.

secretly TL is the most pessimistic team ever. just look at Zenio. that man's face is a face of a thug! he probably bullies little Haypro when the camera's not looking.

TLO? hipster trying to get attention by being unique.

Tyler? pretentious emo who pretends to be an intellect.

Haypro? Stone cold killer.

Hero? Taeja? Korean mercenaries only in it for the money.

this video was meant to be another piece in their propaganda campaign, to advertise a "family" atmosphere that doesn't exist.

they all mutually despise each other, and none of them are truly happy deep down.

take the red pill neo! don't take the blue TL colored one.

haha don't get me wrong. I am not saying TL is a sad team. I just felt sad after watching it. I just liked seenig more bubbly stuff outta them when like sheth and huk were wrestling and stuff felt more like a family. Maybe cause this was a much more serious event in terms of team performance so everyone probably was thinking about game time.

Definitely tense with Victor but it showed the reality that TL is running a business and paying them well to perform. Personally I think Ret will eventually be cut but that's neither here nor there.... and my "politics opinion".

The fact is, other than Taeja and Hero, the other players have not been performing well at all lately. I can feel the tension between the players. They need to step it up and they know it and I think that's the point of the filming - to show that Team Liquid is still taking the SC2 scene seriously.

Lastly - the most negative players are having the biggest effect on the team... Much like the most positive players had a big effect on the team. If TL continues the path they're on, I can only assume management would wake up and get rid of the people that don't give a fuck *cough* Ret *cough*.

Like everyone has said in this thread, this is the type of content I'd love to see a lot more of. It really grabs my attention and I could watch hours upon hours of it.

Sounded like those contracts Nazgul was signing with TLO and Ret were 5 years. That's crazy.

I want more conspiracy theories on the 40-80-120 to 40-80 no 120..

Damn it TL we can conspiracize all day but I want someone to make something up. I'll start.

40 for being on the team

80 for winning a tournament/sweeping in a team league

chills went up and down my spine as the slow motion close up of TLO closed out this film.

the chills turned into a cold sweat when i realised that i was not just impressed by this man's face, but deeply moved.

i began to cry but stopped myself just in time by punching myself in the face.

unfortunately i had about 3 or 4 ripe strawberries in my hand at the time so they exploded all over my laptop.

the electrical shock set my mattress on fire (it was late at night) and i am now sleeping on the floor.

the floor is cold and holds no pleasant memories of ladies for me.

i am alone on the floor.

Plexa is the man when it comes to researching opponents. The amount of VODs and replays he can watch and summarize in short amounts of time is scary.

In a recent interview Nazgul accepted and basically agreed to the criticism of Liquid Rising. I don't think people need to gon on about.
