Parts of the documentary have been criticized. People called it bias with how it represented players and how much of their history was talked about. For example, players such as {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|PPMD}} had a prevalent amount of screentime, whereas other players like {{Sm|Mew2King}} were barely talked about and many people said the documentary underrated him, going over more of his losses and not including his biggest achievements. For example, his winning streak in 2008 was not mentioned, but his back-to-back loss to {{Sm|Mango}} at {{Trn|Pound 3}} was.
The documentary received a mixed reception from the player base upon its initial premiere. Some players prominently featured in the documentary such as {{Sm|Mango}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} publicly criticized it, arguing that their depictions in the documentary were unfairly biased as a result of excessive focus on their past personal actions. Another common criticism was that the documentary did not provide equal screen time to all of the featured players, with critics identifying  {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} as "gods" who received comparatively little screen time compared to the others.
