Several months ago



Many of you expressed interest in watching the show, but, unfortunately, this was a region / provider locked product. Luckily I was able to receive permission to upload several episodes spliced together to help show off our production to a wider audience!



Please take the time to enjoy and comment on our production:

Hello,Several months ago I posted about an effort by gamers to bring Starcraft to Canadian televisions . Working with Access Communication we were able to produce a serialized show that was an overwhelming success.Many of you expressed interest in watching the show, but, unfortunately, this was a region / provider locked product. Luckily I was able to receive permission to upload several episodes spliced together to help show off our production to a wider audience!Please take the time to enjoy and comment on our production:



Season two of our show recently finished filming. The second season event brought in stronger talent from across the country to compete. I should be receiving some stills from the final (vastly improved) product later this week.



I hope you guys enjoy!

The TV format has benefits and drawbacks. We are constrained on episode length, but we get to do post processing touch ups on the roughest edges.

Adersick Profile Joined July 2011 United States 214 Posts #4 Pretty nice, the only things I'd like to harp on is making the dialogue smoother, fewer "Umms" and avoiding a monotonous sounding presentation. It's something even experienced casters have issue with, but having that bit of energy and refinement can really help draw in people and give that professional shine.



Aside from that, excellent work. The map/race introduction is very nice, useful for people new to the game, and it offers a good overview due to the fact that full games can't be played through. It's also nice to have the background on players and have a segment like "Winner's Corner" which gives lesser known yet skilled players an opportunity to voice themselves. I have to agree with fuzzylogic, it does have a distinct "TV" feel to it, but even with the constraints you guys are working in I'd say you did a great job!

I wish it aired in Ontario, so I could watch it on my TV and push nonSC friends to watch haha. Good work on the production too!



P.S The casters sound like they want to keep things simple in terms of terminology which might be leading to the umms as people mentioned above. Seems like a good idea since this will be on television over say twitch. @MasterDalK | Technical Director at Waveform Entertainment | Streaming Every Esport Under the Sun

Also the monotone presentation might be from the nerves for being on TV. Be more confident in what you are doing and being more expressive would eliminate much of the monotone.



A complaint would be that bracket. That bracket is so confusing to look at.



Overall this is really good and I hope you guys can keep this up. Maybe you could get that subway's to offer more than just a lunch The overview of each race and the simple explanation are good for TV. Those who know Starcraft would already be watching it online anyways so keeping the terms simple are a good benefit. Its good that you have the players in the studio playing as well.Also the monotone presentation might be from the nerves for being on TV.

The second season has a more refined caster list, which should remedy this.



For our first season prizes were a big screen plasma (55"), SSD drives, free internet for a year and other assorted tech items.

For our first season our cast included 8 commentators and a host. We had a couple casters with experience, but for many it was their first time infront of a camera. Of those I would lump myself in the occasional 'umms' categoryThe second season has a more refined caster list, which should remedy this.For our first season prizes were a big screen plasma (55"), SSD drives, free internet for a year and other assorted tech items.

The Sask. accents are coming in thick and I love it, haha.

I believe the show has reruns in a different time slot, but I'm not too sure. Season 2 Promo banner:I believe the show has reruns in a different time slot, but I'm not too sure.

Schickysc Profile Blog Joined May 2010 Canada 348 Posts #13 The first season was a blast to be apart of. This is the first I've seen of the finished product as unfortunately I don't have access cable. The second season was shaping up to be amazing too, with a huge pre-event tournament at a local lan center, which the winners went on to compete in. Wish I didn't get sick!

EDIT: I just noticed they introduced it as House vs Techmarauder but they played the House vs Enger match Lol in my picture half of my face is cutoff. None of the less this was a blast to participate in and I cannot wait for the start of season 2.EDIT: I just noticed they introduced it as House vs Techmarauder but they played the House vs Enger match Protoss Player | @ScThoR_ | www.Twitch.tv/ScThoR | Business Student and Entrepreneur

Talking about macro and stuff probably made it a little too hard for new viewers... Skip the analytical and go straight to the TB style play-by-play!



Very cool show though. I was surprised to see a Diamond player in it... I wish we had lans in the UK I could attend.
