I think after Jaedong switched to SC2, I somewhat forgot what a big deal he was/is. This was a reminder.  | ||

(the Woongjin player (semi-pro) is  fOKINS for those curious, the amateur - I have no idea)Here is a game of his from Proleague As you may already tell, this documentary was made in the declining stages of BW's lifespan (so 2011-12), which is why the Woongjin coach was like "you're not improving" (in BW), as well as the numerous amount of fangirls showing up to games. | ||

I'm really looking forward to the full documentary. Granted, a lot has changed since it was filmed, but it should be a really fascinating and informative watch nonetheless, and hopefully it might be successful enough to even draw more public attention to progaming. | ||

no it isn't. that's like if you went to school and instead of getting a percentage grade, you got a rank depending on how well you did on one test. except in this case, everyone is guaranteed to get nearly 100% and you're in direct competition to be slightly better than the rest of your class and you can't go home if you don't get the absolute highest grade. additionally, 100% isn't a set number, and is relative to how everyone else performs, and constantly becomes harder to achieve | ||

She didn't tell him that because she wants him to be the best progamer and if he didn't win that qualifier he would put shame to the family name. This guy, much like many many many other korean youths have gone against the typical norm in the society that got brought up in the trailer to try and become full time progamer and live their dream in this niche market. These guys drops school to play and try and become good so they can win amateur tournaments to get a foot into a pro team. Guys like this have for sure lied to their parents regarding school and stuff and been spending whole days and nights at PC bangs or at home playing Starcraft to achive this dream. And in the end their parents will have had enough of this and says that if you can't make it happen this time you are done with this and give it up as long as you live under our roof or you are out of here. This was probably the case for this guy in the documentary. | ||

Sometimes one film is not enough for two stars " ))He also made 'Inside the Metaverse' which is another good documentary about virtual gaming | ||

To add even more story, their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/StateOfPlayDoc) has a picture of gogo, one of the people banned for match fixing. I have to think that the documentary may cover some aspects of that as well. It's not just a story of starcraft, I'm very optimistic this may have broader appeal. and although this post will get buried in this thread, I also highly encourage people to read this applicable article (translated) about B team koerans and the harshness of the esports world (i.e. basically, these kids often drop out of school to get payed less than minimum wage, even if they are provided housing and food): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=126075 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

(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. == | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

That was in WoL though and in hots he made semi finals and was very close to making finals (lost 2-1) and I think he could have won dreamhack had he faced leenock just because his zvz is so good. He's not doing anywhere near as bad as a lot of morons say, but he does struggle zvp quiet a bit where as his zvz and zvt are very good. | ||

Anyway, in retrospect it's hard to be too unhappy with a third place and direct seed into DH winter, it was a big step forward for Jaedong, I just got a vibe like he was finally able to start wrapping his head around the game. | ||

Collectively, Asians possess a much more effective work ethic than westerners. I've seen it with students here in South Africa, and on documentaries I've watched on TV that covered this specific topic. It doesn't even just exists within the Asian culture, but extends to Southeast Asia too. Of course I am generalizing a bit, but by far the majority of Indian students (Indians are common in my province) work as hard as they can to please their parents. The source of this motivation is unclear to me, but I believe it comes from the way that Asian parents teach their children from a young age to respect their elders and do what they are told, and that hard work always reaps rewards. | ||

I have never before seen a trailer that shows a documentary that truly goes behind the scenes, where the players tell the stories of how there parents reacted to them becoming pro gamers. I am very interested to see how JD became the monster of a player he was near the end of Broodwar, and would love to see some footage of his earlier victories and defeats. The production of this looks incredible and it is clear that the filmmakers have put a lot of effort into making this. Let's all hope that it lives up to expectations. Just to provide some informations, the film actually concern the 2011-2012 period when Jaedong is already recognize as one of the best players, it doesn't really talk about the early part of his career. About Jaedong the main points are the life as a progamer. Although, there is parts of the film about "how do Korean becomes progammers/how do parents react", but for the 2 young you see in the trailer. | ||

Mekia, but they never say his nickname in the film) and a hopeful who tries to qualify trough the pro-tournament. There's also some kind of interview with a Jaedong fangirl, but that isn't too noteworthy. You really get a great insight into the personality of the programers and the sacrifices they have made (eg no youth as the others). I never followed BroodWar, so it really made me appreciate Jaedong. Don't expect any in depth stuff on StarCraft, it's mostly made from an outsider perspective - but its still great. Feel free to ask me any questions about it :D | ||

The audience was quite diverse, and the room pretty full (around 50-100 people I imagine). The reactions were what you expect: surprising sighs when they say the practice 10-12hours a day, laughs when the fangirls cry or give JD gifst etc. I think most of them liked it. The docu does a good job of painting the gamers as humas and not some distanced nerds though. There was a Q&A with the director afterwards, and he said they got really good support from a local Korean producer and David Kim got them Kespa access. It was also mainly a one man project, since the director was also DP. | ||

Translated from http://s.163.com/13/0628/15/92FE6T2K00314Q8T.html ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/l8Fb8CN.jpg) State of Play is a documentary film starring professional gamer Jaedong, and it debuted in Seoul, Korea on the 26th. At the premiere, Steve, the director of the movie accepted a media interview, and spoke about the stories that took place during filming. At the same time, Steve also mentioned about the next documentary being about a player who switched to Starcraft 2 from Starcraft 1 and became king there - Mvp. This movie has finally been released. What're your thoughts? I am very happy to be able to attend the premiere event with the lead actor of the show. Today is also the first time the performers are watching the finished product, and so I am even more looking forward to it. It's said that there was a premiere in Belgium as well. We were played at the International Documentary Film Festival at Belgium, and the tickets were all sold out. The documentary is also receiving a lot of views online, and it even received the attention of Blizzard's CEO Mike Morhaime. Why did you choose the topic of esports for your documentary film? I started coming in contact with the game ever since Starcraft was released, and I play it frequently too. The filming for this movie started from the year 2009. At that time, esports was a really remote term to Europe. I saw esports in Korea, and it left on me a really deep impression, and as a gamer, I feel that there is no difference between esports and other sports, and so I wanted to express it through this movie. The filming process took 3.5 years. What's the hardest part of it? The first 1.5 years was the toughest. It was the hardest trying to get the players to come and take part in the movie, really hard to persuade them. Also, as everyone knows, at the start of 2010, Korean esports got struck by the match-fixing scandal. As a result of that, at that time, many relevant people, not just kespa, refused to cooperate, and even tried to prevent it. We spent a lot of time trying to convince and persuade them. The match-fixing scandal caused a break in the filming process of the film. How did you solve this crisis? I happened to be in Seoul when the incident happened, and so I remember the situation then really well. People really didn't want to help with the filming at all, and just refused to say anything. As a result, the only thing I could do was go back to Belgium. Four months later, I came back again, and it was at this time when I finally was able to get some people to help. I didn't have any strategy, except to give them a bit more time, so that the filming of the movie could continue. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1c4nssc.jpg) Why did you choose Jaedong as your lead? I saw a few top players in 2009, and also had an audition. Amongst them, the one who appeared most natural in front of the camera was Jaedong. Furthermore, as a documentary directory, I trust my sixth sense, and through conversations with Jaedong, it made me even more certain of my choice. What about the filming for the prospective gamer and the amateur gamer? Out of all the players that I saw at the Kespa audition, Mekia was the one that felt most like Jaedong. And as for amateur gamer Park Yo Hwan, I just felt I could be friends with him the moment I looked at him (laughs). Without the support of the family of these two players, my film would never have been made, and I'd like to express my thanks here. We want to know what the film title State of Play means. Also, now that Jaedong is an EG player, why did you remove the EG parts? If we explain state as country, I suppose it would mean the country that plays that most games. And play has a dual meaning too. Even though it has the meaning of 'play', playing games isn't just simply playing. The reason I didn't include EG content is because if I wanted to film that as well, it'd take at least another 3 years of filming (laughs). Will this film have any negative impact on the esports scene? Actually, the first player I met for this film was Ma Jae Yoon sAviOr (former Starcraft 1 player, one of the culprits of the 2010 Korea match-fixing scandal). Since I made the decision already, I had to persevere on with it. Actually, I had many troubles with regards to him. But this movie isn't talking about the esports scandal, but has the esports spirit as its main theme, and so there won't be such an impact. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ag4olAQ.jpg) What'll your next production be? Even though it's not like this Jaedong one, I have also followed and filmed another player for a very long time. This person is Mvp. We'll probably be able to see this movie in about 2-3 months time. It's mainly recording the process from his switch from Starcraft 1 to Starcraft 2, to finally becoming the new king. It's a very beautiful and amazing story (laughs). As a documentary film director, what do you think esports is? When other people ask me what esports is, I will say that it is a real sport, especially when it comes to the point where to become the winner, you have to work really hard. I also hope that all the young people will come to understand after watching this film, that esports is just like any other sport, and it is very difficult to reach the top level. Anything else you wish to add? I don't want to say anything more. For all the stories, please watch in the movie. I want to thank all the people who have helped me in any way during the filming process. | ||

This is the most amazing piece of documentary ever done about esports and one of the best documentary i ever watched (and i watch a lot of them). The movie is overall beautifully shot and does an amazing job at capturing all the emotions in esports. You follow the journey of three different gamers (a star, a semi-pro and an amateur) and it pictures very well how cut throat the Starcraft competition is in Korea. It will be available for streaming in September but if you have any chance to watch it before i highly recommend you to not miss it ! Edit : Also, so many stars of the SC2 scene at the movie premiere. Basically all the EG team and taeja were there, MVP, the LG-IM coach and some other players from LG-IM. JYP even stepped in and asked a question to the realisator during the Q&A, but i cant remember which one it was. Also that interview translation is Korean->Chinese->English so its really not accurate. For an example in the end the realisator said that he really wanted to thank the main characters once again, and their family for allowing them to film their day to day life. He especially thanked the 8th Team for letting them coming in the team house so many times and so early in the morning. | ||

They showed trailers for it at a bunch of tournaments, but I haven't heard anything about it actually being released. Feature-length films take a long time to make. It is an incredible amount of work. If you do a lil looking on Star Nation you can find out that there have been rough cuts of the film done, but it is still not quite there yet. (check their facebook page or twitter) Many people have gotten frustrated with this and came up with the argument that if you take to long to release a doc, it will no longer be timely. To suggest this is to misunderstand the nature and purpose of documentary film. Its not a news source. | ||

Maybe Jaedong is simply not my most favorite progamer but it seems there is not much thought nor emotion (there are bits yes, but most are minimalistic, some feel like they lack thought behind it) behind the scenes. And then there are a lot of random totally boring scenes, showacasing more the Korean culture rather than gaming one. If you know already about Esports, given you are here on TL, you won't get any revelation from watching this movie, if you simply want to spend some nice time yes, its ok. | ||

They're just now starting to talk about the match fixing scandal and the Korean's reaction to it and how 3 teams closed down, Oz being one of them. To add, they are following "Park Yo Han" and also Mekia after getting drafted to Woonjing. Neat look into the amateur scene, struggle with school and gaming, Jaedong's family, life and fan(s). Struggle to find a sponsor for Team 8, Blizzcon 2011, end of Broodwar as well as transition to Starcraft II. Overall i felt like it was worth the amount i paid. Well made, bit too fast paced for me, but for a 85min doc i guess that happens easily. e. Dodgin, thats true! Fixed | ||

My review of it is that overall it was decent, it's mainly jaedong focused and park yo han focused. Mekia wasn't all that followed, but the movie kind of ended with his dialogue--that felt a little strange pacing wise. I watched it with people who are not familiar with starcraft, they liked it reasonabley enough. All of us agree, it lacked a little bit of a story. It could have highlighted difficulty of amateur life more (eg the [NAME] house or things like that), could have highlighted B teamer life more, or just focused more on jaedong overall and how popular he really was/is and highlight how talented he really is. Just kind of shows some fan girls here and there. But most teamliquidians know these things and so it's still enjoyable, although could have used a little more gameplay. edit: have to say no gogo in the movie (their facebook page had a pic of gogo as background for a while, made me think it would go more in depth about the match fixing scandal). The match fixing scandal was covered in the film but not extensively, and looked visually weird trying to place news clips on billboards/public square screens. | ||

Now my girlfriend wasn't riveted at the prospect of watching the documentary with me; but this wouldn't be my go to video to showcase what SC is about nor do I think it is necessarily to be that. I am just hoping that one of the other two will have made a bit of effort with regards to broadening appeal. | ||

I also loved how it was narrated by Jaedong himself, and how it went beyond the events and show the families and more everyday life of the players. If I wanted BW events and that hype I would just watch VODs. This is something different, in a good way. | ||

I think it was a worthy documentary but it doesn't convey much of the hype or glory of BW in its prime if that's what you're after. nono, Im just interested since its a Starcraft documentary, I dont think Esports gets the recognition it deserves to be honest. Its nice to see how the pros go about daily life . Thanks for letting me know, I'll might go watch it sometime later | ||

I've only seen the download/watch link for the Jaedong one (which I'm downloading now :D) but I haven't seen any way to get the IM MVP one. it's written right next to it that it will be ready in december 2013, then yo ucan download it | ||

1. cash in money from the die-hard Jaedong fans 2. release it on youtube (after some time) and make more money from the casuals Please dont get me wrong - I dont think this is bad, but just the way to make the most money. The release on youtube (or a similar platform) will be unavoidable, because further or later it will leak in some way. It is best for the creators to be the ones in charge, tho they can profit from it. | ||

SVT has a documentary series called DOX, where State of Play has a showing. Maybe this is unique, I dont know, but I would not call that milking money from JD fans. | ||

Seriously? You pay more for most blurays/dvds and certainly for any album cd. I say it's a fair price for 4 years of hard work. Great documentary. | ||

This makes the price much more workable for me, thought I'd suggest as much to all of you Yeah, that 10 dollar fee is such a hassle. lol. On a side note I'm watching it right now and I'm enjoying it a lot so far (around 15 minutes or so in). I'll write some more later once I'm finished. edit: Really touching...I know exactly what it feels to be like Yo Han (the amateur). Overall I really enjoyed the watch, definitely worth the money. Finally an esports documentary that actually was executed fairly well. I'm sure a lot of work went into it, I kinda wished I could see some gameplay but that's really not what the point of this was anyway. | ||

If you are ugly, they will tell you that you are ugly. And kids get insane amount of pressure from their parents at a young age. Korea has the biggest suicide rate in the world for a reason. | ||

I meant I was surprised that he stopped watching at that part. Seems kind of stupid to me, but to each their own. | ||

Seeing jaedong outside the game and the part where nobody know about is very touching i will continue cheering for jaedong hoping that one day sc2 can be popular again and he can reach that top position again I'm not trying to be a di.. or anything but i don't see why bisu should retire seeing how hard jaedong and others have been trying i know that bisu could reach reach that top position as protoss again but the question is just when... | ||

On our test-site you can check if the test-video works". But you probably can't see it because it's for swedes only. I'd suggest you get a swedish proxy and then try again. | ||

There may be more than one reason as to why you can't watch the video. On our test-site you can try if our test-video works." On the link to the video itself, it says "Kan endast ses i Sverige", which means "can only be seen in Sweden". So you'll either have to get a proxy, pray that it'll be aired in your country, or find the video elsewhere. I'd say it's kind of useless to watch it on svt.se unless you know swedish or korean, since the entire thing is in korean and only has swedish subtitles. FYI I'm swedish, despite what my profile says edit: too slow ;_; | ||

I didn't learn much about the e-sport industry in Korea but more about the korean lifestyle and how a game like Starcraft fits (or not ...) in it. However, during the last few minutes, JaeDong final monologue seemed a bit forced. I can't tell if he is trying to act or if these are his genuine thoughts at that moment. Anyway it's an interesting thing to explain how he felt playing like a machine was the only way for so long. Overall, I had a great time. looking forward to the MVP documentary as well Thanks again for your great work | ||

I enjoyed it thoroughly. | ||
