some heroes are born, some made, some wondrous
There is something about this show that is off.. . I can not put my figure on it.. but in theory a "road to" doco is a cool idea for esports... but something about how this is done just makes it looks hella lame.

It kind of remands me of those gaming trade shows where they have those "interviewers" who are just sycophantic brown nosers...

Also, they kinda laied into Slayer a bit.. poor guy. If Slayer isn't mindful he is going to be the next GamerBlake!

The beginning should have been:
"Join players around the world as they choose their favorite DC superheroes and Deadshot to compete in a series of premier tournaments."

Deadshot can be countered with some characters like Starfire.

While the idea of a documentary highlighting the Netherrealm fighting game community is really exciting and could get our name out there and that's all cool, but the execution of this whole thing is so...weird? I go to quite a few of these tournaments and yet I feel a strange disconnect to everything going on in these videos. It just doesn't feel as authentic as it could be, from the canned dialogue between people and the misinformation. This feels like a missed opportunity to showcase a more authentic side of the FGC.

The authentic side of the fgc involves grown men calling each other [ban incoming] because they drop combos or get hit by wake up supers. The CW @ primetime ain't exactly ready for that.

That's not the "authentic" side at all, just because you and others go online to fight random people that doesn't mean anything. Every type of community is gonna have these people that you don't wanna be around, but it's also of people that you would. I myself was at Yuzu Cup 2, and everyone was super nice and professional.

That is the authentic side of the FGC.
