As esports keeps on developing, there is an increase in the number of esports documentaries. Overall, they just try to capture the nature of the different societies that occupy the games.
With such a significant number of energetic characters both before and after the stage, the documentaries will, in general, have particular voices to feature the complex nature of the tendency itself.
Let take a look at are the main eight esports documentaries ever.
8) MTV True Life: I’m a Gamer
Jonathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, as the first esports superstar, kicked off with his appearance on MTV's True Life. Recorded throughout a number of unbelievable exhibitions, Fatal1ty was totally the initial professional gamer who could rule apparently any single game he grabbed. He was also the first to look nice with gaming on.
7) My Name is TotalBiscuit – The Life and Times of John Bain
This is a recognition towards the amazing YouTuber and John "TotalBiscuit" Bain - a game critic. It's 60 minutes in length, emotional journal, telling about his life as well as his undertakings in esports, and his impact on the scene. In short, the documentary is an easy-to-follow memory of his fight with cancer though.
6) CompLexity: Redemption
In the mid-2000s, many people consider this as the strongest North American Counter-Strike squad. However, CompLexity: Redemption traces back the group to the time before their greatest achievement. CompLexity: Redemption gives us a clear view of the early stage of esports. Furthermore, it reveals insight into the characters that were a part of the film making process. This shows genuine reactions from people that time, especially for compLexity founder and owner Jason Lake, who is portraited shouting and pacing behind the group as they managed to upset at the Championship Gaming League’s 2004 winter-stop.
5) Alias: Slayer
The mid-2000s recorded a little flood of popularity encompassing esports. The main focus relating to FPS games like Counter-Strike and Quake. However, Codename Slayer places the emphasis on Norwegian Starcraft: Brood War phenom Fredrik “Slayer” Østervold. The documentary’s traveling to South Korea. Back in that time, the 16-year-old player's victory at 2000 KBK Masters made him one of the few non-Korean players to win an event in such a nation— a great award.
4) Breaking Point
It’s obvious to see that Breaking Point is among the most debatable esports documentaries ever. While being solely created by Team Liquid during 2016, Breaking Point pictures the chaos prevailing in the association's League of Legends list. It focused principally on the all-star roster members such as Chae “Piglet” Gwang-jin and Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett. The viewers have the opportunity to see the group's total downfall with all the issues like administrative issues, egos, and bad performance which led to the inevitable fate for one of North American League’s greatest hypothesis stories.
3) Free to play
This one concentrates on three legendary Dota players who battled for the event with the biggest prize pool in the history of esports that time. The documentary is released after 3 years of Valve’s The International. The stories are told in an informative manner, delivering history's key moment. With $1.6 million in prize money, Free to play focused on Clinton “Fear” Loomis, Danil “Dendi” Ishutin, and Benedict Lim “hyhy” Han Yong and their effort to win. Commentator Toby “TobiWan” Dawson and attendee Jacob “Maelk” Toft-Andersen have added more humor and insight by recording an unofficial behind-the-scenes video for those who are interested. The International has developed drastically in size and in prize money but to Dota 2 fans, 2011 was truly a year to commemorate.
2) State of Play
Steven Dhoedt’s documentary focuses on 3 aspects of professional Starcraft: Brood War . The first is the story of the game top players, the motivational pro gamers, and the fandom around the top players. The three separate storylines were shot after the game's greatest scandal had recently been solved. The video aims to clarify the effect of the debate, making a motion picture that is tempting as well as eye-opening.
1) The Smash Brothers
The documentary of Travis "Samox" Beauchamp's is four-hour long. It tells the story of legendary competitive players of Super Smash Bros. Melee is still reachable till now as The Smash Brothers offers a clear and genuine view of the game's most famous players. I would highly recommend the documentary for Esports enthusiasts.
