Best eSports documentary to date!
The documentary follows 3 high profiled DOTA2 players through their daily lives as professional gamers. It shows their struggles to perform well, but also to make a living and show their families that they are making the right choices.
It follows Danil "Dendi" Ishutin (Ukraine), Benedict "HyHy" Lim (Singapore) and Clinton "Fear" Loomis (USA). It starts off a bit before The International in 2011, follows the players at the event, after the event and around The International 2 in 2012. They play on different teams at the competition and will meet each other in battles, but only one can emerge victorious and win the grand prize of $1.000.000, a prize pool that will not only show their families they did the right thing, but also change their lives forever.
It also follows Clinton's issues by being kicked out of his house, Benedict's though choices with love, and Danil's issues with showing his family that this isn't just a small hobby.
The documentary is really well done, very emotional for gamers around the world. And in general a brilliant documentary that any gamer should watch, even if you don't play the same game as the players in the documentary. Because it's more than just about a game, it's about players that want to make a living doing what they love. And eSports growing much larger than before, and ready to take on giants like Football, Handball, Basketball and other large acknowledged sports.
