[xMasterJuiceX]

gg

[harm991]

Experience is important in tournaments to be focused and calm

[TFzogga]

"at 24 hes as old as a progamer can come" Whitera is over 30 and still great

[TusksRUs]

@TFzogga as old as progamers come =) she didn't say can - this was a few years ago remember :)

[ABCdawggg]

with all that hype, should have been more than just 20,000

[isometricJ]

wheres day9?

[95bigash]

@isometricJ i dont think hes there but theres is a quick clip of tastless

[SephCat74]

"Rules are simple. Lose a game, and it's good bye"

And now in this video she says, "Luckily it's best out of three"

WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKK lol

[v0ngolavsky]

I see Day[9]!

[Esperlin]

NationGeographic makes the suckiest commentary.

[nogoodnam3sleft]

Fucking iPod, fucks up at the last moment.

[nogoodnam3sleft]

@ThePhsycicMantis they have to sacrifice ALOT just to represent their country. They couldn't get out if they wanted to.

[ThePsychicMantis]

SERIOUSLY!?

THESE GUYES NEED TO GET LAID!!!!!

[Kallosar]

@ThePsychicMantis

What are u talking about? Every girl in Korea wants their dick. They earn $100,000-$300,000 a year for playing professional Starcraft.

[ThePsychicMantis]

@Kallosar A valid point indeed, but I still believe these guys need to get out more.

[00PJaM00]

@ThePsychicMantis

They're pretty much sex symbols in Korea ....

Its their national sport.

[hemptime123]

fuck russians

[SiLviA2643]

how inspiring i am going to go play StarCraft :)

[dexydark]

1st time in history that a korean can win the title ? :D

2000 Elky vs Boxer

2003 Fisheye vs Ogogo

2005 Androide vs ForU

Thats 3rd time for me... at least

[SDSBass]

@dexydark she said "a non korean may win the title"

[spartan1179]

Did i just hear a national geographic documentary say "gazillion"?

[ZiggyDStarcraft]

@spartan1179 lol I read your comment and then she said it... it was worse than I thought it would be.

[ThePeyoteCoyote]

That was some real life drama right there. 

[grotop]

5:17 was day 9 in there behind one of those flags :O

[aaronbartlett]

@grotop yeah it was

[proitc]

korea vs korea first round fucken bullshit

[TerraceArchimedes]

No!!!!

[mynameiskurama]

what a journey. I would break down under the pressure alone.

[CascadeZ]

good show

[Leafshinoby]

I think this might be "living the dream", from the football movie "GOAL"

[lucirz]

$200,000 a year....damn..

[horiahunter]

that xrerxsesus shoud play red alert

[crazy4crz]

A gazillion fighter planes?! omg how could you ever stop that.

[MajinVegeto89]

a gazillion fighter planes? wow I would hate if this woman would cast starcraft games... :P

[sl2mmer]

it sucks that these people can only prosper for a few years and then are forced to retire :/

[tryceo]

@sl2mmer its like soccer when good footballers retire at like 30 or something

[lahav1]

@sl2mmer thats the gamer community.. reflexes wear out..

[ppshchik]

Paranoid android is a fucking imbalanced map, the player that spawns north always win

[raisauce]

Is that Tasteless casting?!?!?!

[TrainHardGoPro]

thx 4 upload

[johnl5r3w]

how do you guys play when you've got your eyes closed?

[Furnezz]

Is that Tasteless Plott commentating?

[zippo718]

Gosh NG made this documentary so compelling. Loved it.

[Skr0s]

so after 20 years old you cant play anymore as a progamer?

[oct41982]

@Skr0s

no its like the retirement age for progameing

like turnig 40 in american football

[TheRealEzzy]

"But the russian has a massive airforce!"

Haha! she calls him "The russian"

I WILL BREAK YOU

[Akito700]

FUCK U SILENT CONTROL MOFTHER FUCKER!!!

kiddinggg

[OTPOBEHTAPATOP]

Great video. Thanks for uploading.

[pimmetjepom]

Nice bout the sponsor

[jackface0410]

That Russian kid has impressive acne.

[SuperBluepurple]

@jackface0410 meh could be worse

[kroooassant]

@jackface0410 extra buttons for the win !

[Patrikistheshit]

Xellos is a legend. But haha paranoid android what a joke that was :)

[TheRamstoss]

hahaha android looked at his keyboard

[hemptime123]

@TheRamstoss ?

[TheRamstoss]

@hemptime123 pros dont usually need to look at their keyboards, they know where all the keys are through practice.

[hemptime123]

@TheRamstoss yes but it isnt a subject thats really that interesting its like saying there a nub if they look at there keyboard, i dont need to look at my keyboad when i type, i play alot of warcraft and know all my hotkeys yet every now and then il take a quick glance to make sure im hitting the right key

[TheRamstoss]

@hemptime123 Oh. Well I'm sorry you didn't find my comment interesting enough. And you can't compare someone who plays alot of warcraft to top sc players.. watch the korean pros, they never look at their keyboard.

[Sc2ggrocks]

for those who r wondering which sponsor xellos' team got sponsered, its cj entus. GO's team name is now CJ entus, and they have great team. 1 year directly after this, Ma Jae Yoon, or sAviOr (in part 3/5 eating with the others... or was it 4/5... neways he was next to xellos) enteredhis greatness and got 3msl titles and 1 osl.

[Pheenak]

xellos loss WOOOOOOT silent control ftw

[ppshchik]

Why did Paranoid Android exist back then? It's an imbalanced map

[Yoshi17th]

Awesome documentary for WCG/Starcraft :D

Thanks for uploading!

Lol good ending.

[codenamepigs]

lol starcraft is the best game ever!

[DaimonR]

why add so funny starcraft sounds...

[modipete90]

Wow amazing documentary... Probably the greatest documentary I've ever seen @_@ Wow so awesome...

[RiceRemix]

@ amaximenco

It's perfectly fine to have your opinion about professional gaming.

BUT:

1. Korean professional gamers work very hard, and they are very honorable and respectable.

2. Korean professional gamers have nice girlfriends and are able to provide greatly for their families.

3. Professional gamers often get great jobs or attend top universities after their careers.

[Ranyishere]

Gazillion fighter planes! LOOL that sounded so funny

[zredna33]

Shut up.. You don't get it.

[avehicleonhalo]

hey amaximenco, faggot ass nigger, stop talking if you havent even understood what the fuck this whole documentary was about. In south korea, that's the way to get girls, oh wait, you don't know that because you are an illiterate fuck that couldn't understand what you just watched. Back the fuck up faggot ass nigga and learn how read and analyze information before you go flame a differently cultured nationality.

[RiceRemix]

The same could be said for chess or any sport. Ultimately, those things are simply just games as well, but I doubt you'd bash professional chess or sports players.

Koreans like SC because it's very difficult to play with great skill, and it's exciting to see dynamic plays. If you really understand what's going on in an SC like you would a chess match if you were a chess enthusiast or a sport if you were a sports enthusiast, you'd have a much greater appreciation for professional SC players.

[Anonymous2289]

FAST! FRESH! AND A KILLER OF KOREANS!

Anyone else wanna punch her in her mouth?

[irkiIIer]

i like that line, finally somebody else is good as koreans thats not a korean. and hes russian! im from russia.

[Anonymous2289]

What about Idra or ret? I mean they're on progaming teams. I mean I know that this was made back in 2005, but good foreigners are becoming a lot more common.

[TheZanursic]

@Anonymous2289 yeah...Uncalled for.

[TomValedro]

@Anonymous2289 u mad?

[bakeee]

wow, those koreans are really skinny. i might even say they have a problem... americans are too fat, koreans are too skinny... well, i dont know, i guess im generalizing. bad bad.

[Anonymous2289]

Haha. Yes. Korea. The "starving nation"

[reallysecretusername]

how is it allowed just to switch out players, especially in a final? imagine how hard the russian must have practiced TvT

[TheRamstoss]

who switched out who?

[awesomeolion]

"with a gazillion fighter planes" lololol

[00apathy00]

i can kinda relate to his situation...

money...

having money can dictate life's outcome...

[paulnamu91]

5:55

fast, fresh and killer of koreans you say..

[Jinisinsane]

pappabear ftw!

[ZapdosKim]

So annoying how the lady doesn't know what she's talking about; 'Gazillion Starships?'

[Jinisinsane]

lol

[irkiIIer]

ya the narrator should have been somebody who actually plays starcraft.

[reekhadol]

i can't believe Ma Jaeyoon didn't get mentioned once throughout the whole documentary... :O

[urmon135]

this was before he did good sadly :(

[sausagenmuff]

200,000USD!!  im in the wrong buisness.

[LiviuFloreaRo]

[sausagenmuff]

$200,000  9:17

[underwatercookie]

Cha-CHING!

$_$

I should've played Starcraft instead of studying in school.

[LiviuFloreaRo]

Yes. 200 000 is the amount of money he earns a year but 20 000 the amount of money for winning the wcg 7:47

[andreibranescu]

lol, fatal mistake but he won. stupid commentator..

[vitaliyjackson]

wow crazy how they made gaming a way of life. kinda neat in my opinion

[MelkorFXify]

personally I think these things are more entertaining than football etc

[vitaliyjackson]

yea me too.i wouldnt mind living in that type of country. im always up for trying out different ways of life to see how i like it

[hyperdude144]

@MelkorFXify me too... I mean SPACESHIPS! IN SPORT! GAMERS ON TV!

[krazymouse0]

"With a Gazzilion fighter planes"

[OptimusNice]

Yeah well, would've gone past most people of she'd said "More than a full control group of cloaked Wraiths and the terran is low on comsats!"

[AkilesMoz]

[xCh4rli3Rulesx]

GOOO KOREA even tho im not from korea

[xCh4rli3Rulesx]

[ProfGlitch]

[quasiscared]

for anyone wondering, GO became CJ Entus, which is one of the top 3 teams right now

[ilikehowdahs]

[anthrax088]

[anthrax088]

Brilliant move by silent_control to not gather resources and instead gather up an army! Really outsmarted Xellos

[kefa15]

orfoch nur genial des Video!!!

Xellos, fOru and silent_control are the bests!!!

[Demolasha]

PROTOSS ERA IS GAY

TERRAN FTW

[verysexyyyy]

[bronx43]

All these has-beens. Now it's the era of Stork, Bisu, Firebathero.

[XxLink4life]

fOrU is much better thn XellOs

[XxLink4life]

silint_control is alot better then seol jihoon i thought seo jihoon is much better then silint_control

[thegoddescomposer]

thank u this is great

[voelligstdruff]

commentary by "wacksteven". he was offical commentator at wcg'05 and blizzcon'05. i think hes a lot better than tasteless.

check out

"Nal_Ra vs Mondragon @ BlizzCon 2005"

and u will see and hear him.

[scgh0st]

blizzcon commentaries are horrible, they don't provide any insight into strategy or anything

[newphew92]

YAY! happy ending

"they found a sponsor and lived happily and ever"

thats great. haha upyo face silent_control

[mk2389]

Now THAT'S a $200,000 salary well earned!

[Kaaaasse001]

holy shit the credits are fast

[fiskarensfisk]

"the Russian storms in with a gazillion fighterplanes"

Haha! this girl would make an awesome commentator for pro-gaming StarCraft.

[chocoharvey]

yeah that part was awesome lol

[SmokeIsDaMan]

Is was worth using 50 minutes of my time to watch this. Thanks.

[Kelvino420]

Agreed

[YeEunee]

Now im off to watch Takeshi's castle xD

Thank you again!

5/5!

[ProfGlitch]

DON'T GET ELIMINATED!

[shadowindadark]

nice doc

[Skazzo]

Really great documentary. Well put together, unbiased like Beagle said, and they actually knew what they were talking about.

They didn't make the progamers look like complete fuck ups, but they also made sure to present the hardships of the progaming life style.

Thanks for the upload.

[Beagle240290]

Pretty suprising to see a well-researched and unbiased documentary on the subject, but then, it's National Geographic.

Great watch, thanks!

[Tapman85]

Really cool and professional documentary. Thanks for uploading!

Is that tasteless casting during the wcg?

[Skazzo]

I think it was Tasteless. And I'm almost 100% sure Savior was in part for at around 5:12 when they were eating.

[spacedoubt15]

Thanks for posting this series!
