Jaedong: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO vs Flash: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO then... HerO vs Puma: ??????????????????????? no Mvp? Nestea? MarineKing? or maybe... Stephano(for a europe focus)? But of course, it is great. I hope to see more of this! | ||

For a first episode, I suppose it's excusable, as many TV pilot episodes also lack in quality when compared to regular episodes. But if this is supposed to turn into a noteworthy documentary series, then there's much work to be done. i think you're confusing the aims of this content to the smash bros documentary. remember this is the story of R A Z E R B O Y Z not SC2. | ||

This is one of the better pieces of content I have seen done about StarCraft and it didn't even need a kickstarter. I'm not really that tough to please, as the things that I think are wrong with the SC episode are rather obvious, instead of being some arbitrary nitpicks. The whole episode just feels like someone had an idea to do another recap of the Flash/Jaedong rivalry and then tossed in whatever other bits of almost randomly chosen info in there to make it about SC in general, including the Hero focus and the whole 30 seconds of info about the game itself. I mean, no offense, but I think there are more worthwhile players for a documentary in the SC2 scene than Hero, and the obvious SC bias of the whole thing doesn't help either. I know that SC was the more important, influential, and popular of the two games in South Korea, which is apparently all that matters in the world of SC, but that doesn't mean that a documentary should skimp on SC2 as it did, as documentaries should be unbiased, objective, and thorough.

This isn't a TV show, so I don't see a reason to limit the running time to 25 minutes. That way, they could've dedicated half an hour to each game, and that would've given them enough time to properly introduce and explain each game, talk about the history and current status, show some actual interviews, and do a proper coverage of the most important players. I mean, the next two episodes will be covering a single subject as well, but they're giving an episode each to a separate game. Why couldn't SC get the same treatment? | ||

This is one of the better pieces of content I have seen done about StarCraft and it didn't even need a kickstarter. I think there's some rightful criticism to be had here. You're juxtaposing one of the greatest rivalries in all of SC:BW with Hero vs Puma. Now I love Hero vs Puma as a story, and I love Flash vs Jaedong as a story - but the juxtaposition felt really off. (I legitimately thought the second part was going to be about MC when they started talking about a BW dropout). Then you have Yellow[arnc] getting confused with YellOw (how did that get through), BW timelines a little messed up (eg. Flash was the ultimate weapon long before he became God and the majority of JD/Flash would have been tyrant vs ultimate weapon, Flash won GSI before OSL whereas it's implied the reverse and so on). Aside from Artosis and the progamers, the people interviewed were a little questionable (I mean, what did they really add to the film other than a break from the narrator). While a lot better than anything we've had before, there's definitely room for criticism here  | ||

Seemed a little rushed on the sc2 side, and had footage used from other films and casts to buffer it. And a lot of jargon. Was better than SOS though. | ||
