Not sure exactly what this will be about, but I'll follow it anyway. Should be interesting.

For reference - here is the plot synopsis taken from the launch site:

Two dudes embark on a sweet journey to become the most powerful pro gamers of all time.

If Rocky and The Office and Reddit made love, the baby would be called Die Noobs. That would be his name. He would be a champion. Experience the transformation two stud bears undertake as they attempt to win a professional Starcraft 2 tournament. Zack and Jason begin as casual n00bs, but their journey through a powerful training camp, taught by some of the worlds best SC2 players and iconic celebrities, will make them uber. Fragging small fry and training leads up to a climactic finale that will rip your head off and change a whole world’s life. Along the way they discover a gaming ecosystem and community bigger and cooler than anything you could ever imagine. An inside look into one of the worlds fastest growing professional sports. Die Noobs will pwn your heart.

It would be awesome if it was two Korean 15 year old kids who were camera shy and awesomely awkward in the interviews. Maybe a scene where they were pressured into drinking beer underage and then a police investigation into child labor laws.

why would you name it "die noobs" what if your trying to introduce your mum or something to esports "hi mum this is called Die noobs" cmon

Why is everyone always trying to introduce esports to your mum? I think a bit of coolness and self critical humour never hurt anyone. Yes, your mum might not approve, but she doesn't really need to see this (whatever it is).

You're all getting trolled. There's no way this is legit because no one would ever sponsor a production like this since the target audience is so small.

Might be just me, but this "trailer" doesn't do it as a "proof" that this isn't a troll, gimmie one replay, a vod from any tournament, windows movie maker and 5 minutes and i'd do the same : /

Everything, starting from your 1post1answer make it more and more looks like a troll post..

You're all getting trolled so hard. All these "releases" were created today and the trailer was probably created in moviemaker in under 5 minutes with a random game from a VOD. If you want anyone to take you seriously with a title and plot like that, have this award winning director post on his twitter or something that he's working on this production or no one is going to take you seriously.

On December 15 2012 07:08 cost2010 wrote:
Director's IMDb entry and a 2010 interview which includes some discussion of his background, past projects and future goals.

(note that he did photography & editing - not directing - for the Emmy nominated local TV piece that the "Emmy Nominee" and and "Murrow Award Winner" tags in the Die Noobs! teaser refer to)

I agree this would be sweet if it were an eSports Spinal Tap, but none of this seems legit. The trailer with nothing more than words and 10 seconds of replays definitely illustrated this.

good question - as hardcore SC2 gamers we definitely want to show some epic CPM and fast paced games - would like to educate the audience a bit on strategy like 4gate etc but do it in a fun "rocky/eye of the tiger" type way

so not sure of the exact percent, but there will be a fair amount of it!

On December 16 2012 03:04 MasterOfPuppets wrote:


That's good to hear. I'm sure you're aware most of the similar products (though I'm not sure if there's really been any movies quite like this) focus almost exclusively on the outside-the-game aspects and only gloss over the game in layman's terms aimed at the understanding of some middle aged conservative who can barely operate a PC. :/

This should be nice though.

this doesn't look entertaining or interesting in any way, shape or form, the sad thing is that a well-made documentary about the pro-gaming scene would be fascinating, it's definitely something someone should do, this just takes the emphasis off the pro players and puts it on two goons who are trying too hard to be funny, what a waste

His team got nominated for an Emmy for a report they did, so yes it's honest.

That's not to say this doc is going to be any good (it certainly doesn't look like it will be), but you can't fault a guy for spicing up his credentials.

I literally can (and should) fault a guy for "spicing up" his credentials. He wasn't nominated for an Emmy. His news station applied and got a nomination for a "Upper Midwest Emmy". It's intentionally deceiving and gamers should be irritated by it. It's a shameful attempt create credibility where none exists. I'm sure the director uses his "Emmy nomination" to get guests to appear in the movie and probably for funding too.
