    Its very well made, and shows another side to the Pro-Gaming I didn't know existed.

    Well worth a watch, get a cup of tea, some biscuits, put 90mins aside...and enjoy :D

    Makes me happy I'm not involved in it. Seems like a very depressing life style.

    Two sides to every story. What about the likes of Grubby or practically any signed player in Korea - thousands of fans, sponsorship, tv exposure, etc. Those who do well get paid to play video games and travel the world to compete. On the flipside, they put endless hours into it - so you better love it, or you better get paid well enough.



    It's only a fledgling industry and already there are people making money out of it - that's why it has earned the title 'professional gaming'. Structure needs to catch up though! The problem with people earning money is that it's the goal now rather than people putting in the work in the middle to build something sustainable. Anyway, time to stop rambling!

    Interesting, I liked the story of Rafik a lot. But what the hell was the story with the Guitar Hero part, man that dragged on way too long for how not interesting it was.

    Yeah...looked as if guitar hero had thrown them some money to promote their product...went on and on. Saying that the song playing over it was cool

    Let me be the first to say:
    LOL taking gaming seriously :D

    Nah I kid. But then, I believe fighters are a breed apart from FPS gamers.

    I Got Next (Short Version)
    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5


    Also, a lot of people say "Lol at videogames pro" now...but what did people think of what we consider mainstream sports now? When I was younger and Andy Cole moved to United for £7m, I was blown away (as all were). Now that's pocket money (i.e. Look at the Ronaldo signing). But how can gamers start to make careers or money from gaming if others interested in the scene and games won't back it.

    Also, I've seen you at SF4 tournaments Kiki ;)

    Well, this is unverified, but it's best explanation I've found. They can't release it, because the master was destroyed, and film itself only survives. Unfortunately, they've used a lot of music on the audio; therefore, they need to buy the rights to use the music to release it, and because it's not the master, they can't separate and remove the music from the audio without removing all of the audio.

    It's a shame, because from the clips, it looks sick and 'real'. We can but hope, but I won't hold my breath.
