thanks! the film is done. World premiere May 4th in Belgium, on TV in Europe/Korea end of the year. DVD and VOD release will follow
So the vod/DVD is released may 4'th or is that at the end of the year? Sounds like It premieres may 4'th, then TV at end of the year and then a vod and dvd will follow? So I won't be able to watch it on the 4'th because I don't live in belgium or am I hopefully just being retarded?
It seems that Film Festivals are the first priority, so you'll get to see it there first. Some of the TV-channels that are showing it later this year (end of the year?) were listed few pages ago. Including Korean, Swedish, Norwegian and Belgian TV.
Hard to say when DVD/VoD is coming out, but i'd figure before the tv-showing.

The tune is good.
I agree, it feels like at least from the trailer that these people throw away their youth chasing a dream. Some may make it, some won't. And while that is more or less the truth, it does trivialize esports a bit.
This looks so badass. This one seems like a much more realistic depiction of progaming life. The sacrifices players have to make, giving up their youth all in pursuit of this crazy dream. And how some people, even after all their work, will fail. Quite a sobering look on a "dream" life.

This could be said about many physical sports as well.

(Looking at you Good Game, Star Nation and Sons of Starcraft)
I'd totally agree at this point. Star Nation is taking so long imo everything from the start is... so highly outdated. I don't really think it will be a let down, so many points of view. I remember when I was totally waiting for The Raid documentary for WoW, and when I finally saw it, it was such a disappointment for me. Race to World First was way better. ==

What do you mean trivialize it? If anything, it shows how much dedication and sacrifice is needed to become a pro gamer in korea. Whereas in NA you have people crying for region locked tourneys so NA players can make more money with less work and less sacrifice than the koreans.

Perhaps he means that dedication and sacrifice can only take you so far. Some make it, and some realize only after they put all the effort in it that they will never be good enough to really make it.

Well I think its not a threat to a game of starcraft but a completely different path than high school, college etc.. Just like the opening of the trailer. If you wanna divert so heavily from what the family expects, you'd better succeed at it.

That has nothing to do with trivializing anything though. That's life. People work hard at life and still some people don't get to succeed, at least on the level they might want to.
IMO it just humanizes the game a lot more. These are people reaching for their dreams.

This is a very good point. You need to view them as the same path. Being a college athlete doesn't prevent you from getting an education. Saying its either being a progamer or becoming educated is not the way it needs to be viewed.
In that sense I think western esports is really the way to go about it. You have college kids who can do both at the same time, who can branch into becoming professional gamers after or during school. You have a lot of excellent role models for westerners in this respect. Day9, qxc, Nerchio, etc.
