I know LoL is a dirty word here, but has anyone else been watching the Riot run LCS?

[Question]

Riot started a league that does a lot of things we've wished for in NA/EU, but haven't really achieved with weekend tournaments. A long-term weekly format where the stakes still feel high. The start of every broadcast recaps the team stories, rivalries, and upsets and include tons of player interviews. Before every match there's always a little video piece to give it some context.

They also salaried the teams that qualified, and helped them set up houses. This bridged the gap from really good amateurs to pros, a gap that's getting larger and larger in SC2.

I doubt Blizzard has the money to do this themselves, but I dunno maybe they could help set it up? Could NASL take some notes from the

Some constructive criticism of the Liquid Rising documentary

There are a lot of things I like about it obviously. It's subject is one of my favorite teams. The motion graphic histogram of TL at the start was so well done. The inbetweens by Fishu, illustrating the stories players were telling. Footage of the team just hanging out together. It seemed to start out on the right foot.

But as it went on, I have to say it feels almost like a first edit. I don't know if they were rushing to be the first SC2 documentary out there since most are still filming or what. I felt like at the start they were good about breaking up the interviews with footage, but there was a distinct lack of actual tournament footage. This wasn't a big deal for me, when they say so

Stephano's baneling control vs MKP.

Really great to see him engage and disengage actively with his banelings instead of committing to certain death against a marine splitter like MKP. He almost is baiting the split just to turn them around and surround with lings. You don't see many zergs micro them that well.
