I always like to watch esport documents, this one felt slightly too dramatic.
I think it lacked more detailed information about esports and progamers.

I get that the documentary was meant for "normal" people but.....

Overall id say it was okay 7/10

Shoutout to EG and those who made this documentary, Very good for Esports.

They had an hour time slot. How in-depth would you like them to go while still making sense to someone who has never heard of or played Starcraft?

That was a great documentary. All though it is kind of a 'blast from the past' it was still awesome and it was interesting to follow some of the things that goes on behind the scenes. Big shout out to the people that made the documentary and to everyone on the EG team. That of course includes the people that works behind the scenes.

If I'm not mistaken, there's actually a longer version that's like 1 hour and 15 minutes or so that will eventually be released.

If there an official reason to why this is reserved for canadians ?
I can't for the life of me think of a reason that would make sense.

Global TV generally owns only the Canadian distribution rights to the shows they air, so they can't legally show them outside of the country.

Because broadcasting/distribution laws are a bitch.

Omg I cried.

This was simply amazing. This was without a doubt the most powerful content about esports ever produced. I loved every second of it. Well done.

Conspiracy mode: idra wants to quit in 2011, but EG forces idra to keep playing for masochistic enjoyment of the esports fans.

Obviously you can't have _everything_ in 1 hour, just generally i think it contained too much drama instead of general information of esport related things.

What would you have wanted in 45 minutes? I don't think this is perfect for someone on teamliquid, but definitely keeps it much more interesting for the TV viewer than watching?... Carbot videos? Too much gameplay? I think they covered interesting stuff.

Amazingly well done documentary. Did a great job at conveying what esports is and why many people love it. It was about the idea and feeling so it didn't really matter much that the events were a bit dated, which is really unavoidable to some extent when doing a documentary on a field moving as quickly as esports is at the moment.

General information is boring, and terrible for viewing unless you're specifically asking for just facts and numbers.

If you want new people to care about E-Sports and treat it as legitimate, then following a few players around, getting people invested in them, and showing what it means to be a "Pro Player" is the perfect way to do it.

the old footage seems irrelevant now, things have changed so much, would have been cool to see that sort of stuff nearer the time

Someone on twitter recommended the addon "Hola" (http://hola.org/). It allows you to change your vpn to Canada and the video will buffer then start. It's working for me. I'm excited to watch right now! Eeee!!!

Damn, thx man!
Seems to be working for me aswell, watching from Denmark :D
