D&D 5E Starter Set spoilers?

I read (and watched) a few of the reviews currently posted in the News section of ENWorld (most of which said 'Good Job WOTC' and heard or read someone say that there is no "Example of play" or "here's how to run a session of combat".
Is this wholly or partially true? I know for the vast majority of us here this would not be an issue but, If it is wholly true, I would worry about a truly new DM knowing what to do and how combat is supposed to work.
 

They have said that they will be posting tutorial videos to go along with the Starter Set. I'm guessing they'll be up on or around the 15th, since that's the Starter Set's official mass release date (everyone who's got a copy already has gotten it early).

They have done an hour's worth of video running through the starter set ( warning i will spoil the story if you're planning to play rather than dm), supposedly they will continue further with more videos weekly.

I'd post a link but can't look it up easily at the moment ( though their YouTube channel should have it)
 

Yes. I've watched that playthrough. I don't think that's what they meant be "tutorial videos". I think those are meant to be something different.
