Yeah !! I think i don't need to sleep tonight
|
I loved both documentaries. Tell all your friends about it!
|
|
Just coincidence that they fell so close to one another, but the start of something beautiful IMO. Looking forward to more live airings and especially more live premieres!
|
|
State of Play was a pretty great doc that I recommend to anyone who hasnt yet seen it!
Maybe I will tune in, even though I have seen it multiple times.
|
wow two documentaries in the same weekend xD I hope both offers english subtitles.
|
so is this interesting to someone who likes to watch and follow sc2 but isn't really a big fan of individual players/the history of the scene? i dont really care for nostalgia or drama but if its a good documentary in its own right i would give it a try
|
Definately gonna watch ^^
If I do not fall asleep that is, this is like the anti-time for my time zone

thx for the answer

I would just watch it tbh, it isn't THAT long and imo it is interesting enough

Really looking forward to this!

anyone know how long it is? it's apparently looping for 24 hours and I can't watch it right now, so I'd like to know what times the re-airs start.

We're live, check it out : )
|
I can see baby KesPA fanboys being born in the twitch chat it's adorable.
|
Anyone else lagging while watching Twitch?
|
Wooo, that was great to see it again =)
|
This made a JD fan once more. I wonder what happened to the other 2 guys tho, their stories were quite sympathetic
|
The little kid that ended up in Woongjin Stars is Axiom's Impact.
The other dude, I really felt sorry for him. Hopefully he's doing well in whatever job he's doing.
|
Ah? Rediffusion? OK, why not

Yeah, perhaps he just went ham on the studies and finally impressed his father

Watched this back when it came out. Was worth the $10 or whatever it cost. Great documentary
|
Really great doc, be sure to watch it! No excuses ! its free
|
And Impact did eventually beat JD - at DH Bucharest :O
|
I completely sympathize with the guy who failed. I had a similar deal with my dad regarding WCG and BW, sadly I never made it past the semi finals of every qualifier I played in and then went out and got a job. Ahh...memories.
|
I watched this for the first time now, and I've gotta say this is by far the best eSports - documentary I've seen so far! Watching this really makes me love Jeadong even more.
|
I hope some day you guys air Rise of the King too!

I think you're thinking of the other (younger) kid.
Impact was the one living in the team house, sleeping in the music class ; )

Are they gonna air the MVP documentary? I havent seen that one yet
|
Thanks. I really enjoyed watching that. Great to see what goes on behind the scenes and the story behind every game for each player. Have a lot more respect for all the players I watch now, win or lose.
|
Great documentary. At one point Jaedong is asked what he does with all his money and he stated he gives it all to his father. Is this the norm in Korea? At $177,000/year salary, this just flat out saddened me.

But it's also quite normal to see asian parents paying all the expenses for their children, e.g. school tuition, car, etc. At least for asian families in the US.

I think this is common to most parts in Asia. In our family it is customary we hand over any thing that we make until we finished college. And when we started working, we gave our very first check to our parents. The reason behind this custom is that you trust parents to make the best decision how to use the money (college fund, put to bank, invest, whatever). And when parents reach old age, they give everything back to their children in the form of inheritance.

In Germany is it very big unless you are widow(er) or kid.

That helps make sense of it. The way it was presented in the documentary (in the whopping 3 seconds of footage we are analyzing) it seemed like Jaedong was like "sigh.....yea I just give all the money to my father".
