Looks nice overall. I liked the hazy gray effect and the scene with the color-fx. A few suggestions, though: (and stop me if I'm taking this too seriously)

Try using more cuts (switching from one shot to another) and less wipe effects. (I'm just reminded of Homer Simpson and his star-wipes...) That way, you can spend more time syncing up the music with the shots. For example, doing a bunch of really quick cuts matched up with a drum beat, and then cut to a longer shot.

Also, the text effects are a bit over the top (especially the chrome effect.) What I'd have done is maybe go to a high-exposure (slightly washed out) black-and-white whenever you stop on a player and overlay the name- and then just use a cool but readable font in simple but readable colors (say black with white border, or vise versa). That way, the text is easy to read, and you're giving the viewer some impressive eye-candy behind it.

heh, sorry- that's a bit of a mouth-full. College critiques must really be getting into my head... anyway, just suggestions for the next one you do.

And, if I could suggest a song for the next one, I'd go with Slam (the biohazard remix) by Onyx. But that's all up to you.
