pretty slick promo vid (probably the best for any SC2 tourney); they don't seem to have any (well) known players though...

I liked the one released before the group stages began better because of the song selection but this one was also great. I wish other tournaments would do this, at the very least for the pivotal point in the tournament like GSL Ro8, NASL Ro8, each new SPL round, etc.

Yep, that's the video. For people unable to see it due to being blocked, you can see it there if you wait a bit for it to load (once it actually started, it worked fine for me).

Great video, blows a lot of hype videos out of the water, and I don't even know a bunch of the players in the video.

This worked for me (thank you China). That promotional video is great! That's what SC2 should look like - attractive and sexy. No more nerd-huddles.

Excellent intro, reminds me of some of the fangirl-centric openings that BW had, but appeal is appeal, right? A damn fine intro nonetheless.

It's been shown before, and ya it's fucking mind blowing how professional the video is. You don't need flashy shit or spectacular graphics, just look how simple and clean the video is. All the other leagues should just drop what they are doing and take some learning lessons from this video.

I don't understand how some tournaments don't realize that intro videos and hype packages are priceless. They are easy ways to give your players some character, make them look cool, and hype people up for the upcoming match and/or show. The main reason I even started watching Brood War was because of the old MSL/OSL videos that made these skinny, sometimes robot-like teenagers look like bad asses in the openings.

That's the thing, maybe one or two of these players at best is fringe Code A level, but it doesn't matter. This video makes them look just as bad ass as a Mvp or Flash.

Tournaments, do more video packages and intro videos. You can write a narrative and give character to almost any player if you want to.

Good old days... ;_;

Imagine how much better our western tournaments would be if they did something like this. Well.. when I say "like this" I don't necessarily mean copying the older ones from OSL/MSL or even their style of intro (although I would fucking kill to see something in the vein of EVER OSL 2007+ Show Spoiler +
) but at least have *something*. It helps so much with creating and telling a story, if you do it right. :/

edit: lol failed copy paste

Too much communism ? Why do you say that ?
If it's because of the red, it's also the color of the chinese flag
Edit : and they had to chose a color for their black & white + 1 color effect. Not chosing red would have been weird

I'm not sure opened shirts and ties are things I want to see in a SC2-related video.

While it looks good it doesn't even show what it is about at all.

There was an old thread from a couple years ago, that was complaining that Starcraft 2 needed more sex appeal. I think this may be the kind of stuff they envisioned.

Reminds me so much of the old OSL and MSL openings. They show absolutely nothing about the game and instead show off the players and that adds much more hype.

Well there's a reason why in Korea the players had fangirls, they don't sell the game, they sell the players sex appeal.

Yep, that's the video. For people unable to see it due to being blocked, you can see it there if you wait a bit for it to load (once it actually started, it worked fine for me).

Great video, blows a lot of hype videos out of the water, and I don't even know a bunch of the players in the video.


Worked great for me after the initial bit of loading.

Great season trailer. Fitting song. Great camera work. Good editing. A+

Yeah, I remember seeing their videos a while back. This goes back to all those OSL/MSL/PL videos, which incorporated the actual players, but this one is longer and more drawn out. The players should always be front row center on your promotional materials.

iirc long long time ago I did ask something like this (ok, like the MSL/OSL intros), but mr chae was like "yeah, if you want that we'll have to have less actual GSL tournaments"

or something



(Then again I've asked them if I can do english subtitles for korean vods a long long long time ago but they said no, as well as asked them to do player cams at times, which I don't think they do much anyways in the first place tt -- this was back in the first year ish of gsl though)

If this was anywhere but China, I think Barclays would be on to them. Pretty sure Barclays have some sort of exclusivity with this song, they use it as the intro for all of their sporting events: Ford Super Sunday, ATP World Tour, etc.

However, this was really good. I thought it dragged on a bit too long, and was a little repetitive though.

Yeah the time difference really screwed up my schedule, and now I can't really change it because I should start getting into the workforce sometime soon (T_T no sleeping until 12pm/1pm TT)

Dude, I'm always there watching your stream unless theres SRT or SSL on, and I love what you do. I know it's rough, doing as much as you do and feeling like there's so little you get in return, but know that there are so many of us that really really appreciate what you do. Please, don't ever stop doing it! I'll be there on the 15th.

It's funny how one of the best hype videos of all time come from a country where Starcraft isn't that popular. This was the first time I have seen a Starcraft 2 video that incorporates sex appeal and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The music and production quality really made this video for me though.

The saddest thing is they probably have the smallest budget out of all the major tourneys of each country/region, judging by their prize pool.

They need to get some koreans and foreigners there so we watch their tourneys too and help China grow with the rest of the scene. China has massive viewer potential it would be amazing to have them watching people's streams.

No and if they are like this i prolly don't like them as much either.

If Sen had played, then it basically would mean that everyone can go home. It would have been slaughter if Sen had played. Not a personal attack on him, but the point of this tournament was to showcase the still very good talent that China has to offer. 7-10 of their players are GM on the TW/KR server at any given time. Sen, as the 4th place BWC winner would have been too much for them to handle...

They did, however, invite his (in my mind) little Zerg brother, GamaniaSlam who is also one of my favorites.

It's not so much that it is hard to understand. Just that your view is by and large in the miniscule minority. As you said.

Selling the player, rather than the game, seems much more profitable to me. I'd much rather see players looking cool, than a colossus shooting a bunch of zerglings, like most intros.

Basically, this is the kind of stuff that gets the majority hyped.

Promo is well put together, and I'd agree esports as a whole could use more top end looking production like this. Not that they all don't try in their own small ways, just that there 'could' be a lot more. Somewhere I wonder if the cost to cut those vs the amount of gained by it just isn't 'there' yet.

On a complete side note I'd assume if a song is the official song they paid the artist. I mean that as well no underlying meaning there. Having used copyrighted content before it boggles my mind how you can get permission or pay to use something...then the company still has youtube block it because there seems to always be a huge disconnect between whoever monitors youtube and the people who give permission.

The problem with doing these is getting everyone together with props, or an extremely talented artist. Neither are easy to come by.

It's a logistical nightmare for anyone other than MLG or GSL/PL

Good production quality.

Whole things comes off as pretty damn metrosexual though. Is this a promo vid or a music vid? Why are players mouthing along to the music? Whoever came up with this idea was trying really, really hard.

Nice video though I dont find it as good as the BW ones... but I do wish we could get this hypes videofor the GSL/MLG/etc.

Would it be so bad to wait a month or two between GSL to get this quality of production?

Yea, most tournaments absolutely completely fail in the hype department, you'd think that would be a pretty easy thing not to fail at with so many good examples from OSL, MSL, even TSL, ect.

As for this video, it's just tooo much. Lyrics, producers, credits, lip synching? This is more of a music video than a hype video, not to mention, a few iconic cliches that are just kind of cringy to look at. The quality is great, that's a given, the song isn't bad either... but it all just looks a little too unnatural, or maybe forced.

That all said, MacSed did look like a boss though

Fuck, I can't deny that that was a sexy video. All these Chinese players I haven't heard of - but it still got me pumped.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

Slick video (reminds me of the old Starleague ones). Too bad there weren't better known players in there. Would surely bring a stronger reaction too.

I really enjoyed the NSL video, but this one's insane! Looking forward to the day where these videos along with high production quality are common occurence and tournaments/teams/events put more importance into showing off the players and their storylines as means of attacting viewers... It'll come with time.

What an awesome promo vid, I do wish they atleast mentioned the word starcraft in a banner in the beginning or end so that for someone who has absolutely no idea about videogames or starcraft could relate to it but other than that so good.

Great commercial, love these kind of hype commercials or intros.
I've tried to catch some games late nights when I see it in the bar.
Not the best games but I like to watch these leagues to see the whole world of SC2.

Will diffidently tune in for their Finals the 18th and hopefully some others will as well!

Video definitely feels like a return to the Star League intro videos from BW, hopefully this will inspire other big tournaments to start puting out similar content to hype their tournament.

wut.... gsl doesn't have trailers, and this chinese one overuses slowmo and copies osl intros, plus there are a ton of amazing ones, like bacchus 08 with savior + bisu-baywatch-run

> gsl doesn't have trailers
Quite sure I've seen a trailer for the ongoing GSL - probably that's been fan-made then, or smth.
> this chinese one overuses slowmo
One can't overuse anything as long as it gets the job done.
> copies osl intros
I never mentioned the originality, I'm talking about the quality of the movie (content-wise the last BW OSL intro is still top1 for me). People in OSL intros look like they've been told to make some "cool moves", and film editors took it from there. In the NSL one you can see a director's work.
