Recently CW Seed released a series of videos created by Machinima. I feel like this show is not getting enough attention. It follows the events following up the ESL Finals. It features well known players such as @HoneyBee @cR Biohazard @Pig Of The Hut @Perfect Legend @SonicFox5000. To start off this show is really good. It gives you insight to the players lives outside the game. You learn a bit about their personal lives including dating, Relationships with their families and with each other. You get to see the passion and dedication each of these players have for Mortal Kombat X and the things they are willing to do to get into the ESL Finals. The show has its funny moments and a few cringe moments along with a touch of salt. For those of you who want to see actual game play this only shoes a tad bit as the focus is more on the players trying to win get into the ESL Finals.

Whether you love or hate these players this show is a HUGE step in the right direction for our community. This could bring new sponsors, New players, better opportunities for a lot of people. Showing the world what we are passionate about, how much time we put into our game, the salt, the tears, everything.

So far 5 episodes have been released and an hour long special will be released next week. There are also mini episodes showing their opinions on MKX, Character Selection, Technique, Strategy, etc. For those of you who wish to watch all the episodes the link below will give you all the episodes.

I didn't like that I had to download an extension just to watch them but hey ho. I thought it was pretty funny that half the footage they showed of their ESL games wasn't even from their esl games lol. The video they made for Honeybee was hilarious as well

Yea episode 5 just released and it's really good

Outside TYM I know each of us has been getting some serious media attention. Interviews w high profile magazines, national news papers and such. It's odd but makes sense TYM kinda doesn't care because they know us already

I was told last Thursday episode 4 was viewed 182,000 times in CWseed last week

It's doing extremely well and they have already inked a deal for season 3 for the show

Again next Monday marks the first time in history a national broadcast of an esports event

History is made in 7 days

Thanks for the write up @RM Indecisive

Props to Esl WB NRS Machinima and CW network all coming together to make this a reality

I had no idea magazines were interviewing you guys. You should drop the name of the publication so others can check it out.

This series was awesome.

I couldnt help but laugh a bit every time they showed the ESL standings and Sonic, Bio, Pig, and PL all had hundreds of points and then it showed Honeybee all the way down at the bottom with a measly 10 lolol.

It's no reflection of Honeybee - playing DVorah on the vanilla netcode must be impossible - the contrast was just funny for some reason.

I'm not sure we/I can but I assure you it's the biggest of biggest

When the articles are public I suggest each member of this series relay the info to @Tim Static and TYM staff

But yea I assure u it's huge names

I think all of this is amazing and definitely helps grow the community. To me ESL and Chasing the cup is the best thing to happen to us.
