Last year, I produced a documentary entitled "World Cyber Games" for the National Geographic Channel. I just wanted to let everyone know that it's starting to be broadcast around the world. I'm not sure exactly when it's going on air in the various territories, but I do know that it was recently shown in South Africa, and it should premier in Asia in September.
The documentary follows Seo Jihoon (Xellos) on his journey to the 2005 WCG Grand Finals. We document his progress through the WCG Korea National Finals, his training and his lifestyle.
The documentary includes never-before-seen sequences such as Xellos getting his brain tested (to see if pro gamers are physically different from normal human, much like athletes), Xellos hanging out with his mum (where we learn how he ended up as a pro gamer), and incredible footage of XELLOS ACTUALLY SMILING.
Also featured are Cho Gyu Nam (CJ team coach), Lee Jae Hoon (fOru) and Na Do Hyun (silent_control). Guillaume Patry (Grrr_ca) gets a whole segment to himself. You'll also catch glimpses of international gamers such as Legionnaire (really, really briefly), Androide, Blackman, and Fisheye.
I'd love to post it on the tracker right now, but I can't because otherwise National Geographic will sue me. Let me repeat that. Can't put it online RIGHT NOW. ahem.
Please also understand that because it was made for a National Geographic audience (not to mention commissioning editors), most of whom are clueless about computer games, I could not make the sort of documentary I would have wanted to.
So please don't fret if you don't get a full analysis of Xellos' games, or we don't showcase fOru's defeat of Julyzerg, or the script seems to say the blatantly obvious. We do hope that everyone who watches the documentary enjoys it, and those who continue to use their computers as nothing but futuristic typewriters will be tempted to start playing Starcraft. And, of course, we hope that mothers aroudn the world will loosen up when their kids play computer games.
Questions and comments are welcome.

NGC's "World Cyber Games" documentary was aired last week on July 23, 2006 but not to worry kiddies.. here is the TORRENT FILE.
Currently there is 1 seeder and 3 leechers so join up all. The more leechers mean the seeder will have the motivation to stick around.

Nope, the uploader ripped it off of the TV. I think he has a TV video card for his computer. The file is 522.69 MB.
Oh btw it is the Australian/New Zealand version me thinks.

Bitcomet works better. Strange picture... I don't remember putting that into the docu... though I think that was the T-shirt we bought for him.
