Rise of the eSports Hero Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Karlee The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
sebarciszewski I've been loosely associated with the video game world for many years and have always paid a bit of attention to the rise of eSports as a major form of competitive entertainment. There are YouTube channels with millions of followers whose subscribers spend hours and hours watching these competitive gamers play. Rise of the eSports hero is the most accurate portrayal of this world that I've ever seen. If you have any interest in the world of professional gaming, the rising salaries these pro gamers make, and the surprising amount of politics and competitiveness that comes with it, this documentary takes you inside arguably the best professional gaming team in the world. I should also mention that the production value of this documentary is top-notch.
