The initial idea for Epic NPC Man came from a single line that Alan had written in their shared ideas drive: The video was so well received that they decided to go in a new direction, focusing more on skits than on music videos.

Alan had an idea for a series based around their experiences in retail and this led to the start of the Bored series. The parody music videos started to slow down and in late 2013 the team (Alan and Rowan), decided to change direction and make a different type of video. However, the name Dirt League was taken so they became “Viva La Dirt League”. Starcraft has a ranking system bronze, silver, gold, etc, but they considered themselves below bronze in skill and so they added their own level, “Dirt League”. This was also the birth of the Viva La Dirt League Name. They decided that this was the direction they wanted to go in and to make more Starcraft parody videos. It went viral on the Starcraft subreddit and quickly reached tens of thousands of views.
