This might be an interesting watch.

'Documentary following three British gamers in the community of e-sports, which has been almost invisible to the outside world up to now. '

Some-one from here maybe on it

You never know.

That was a really interesting documentary! I hope people here got to watch it. I never knew league of legends events are so massive. Makes quakecon seem tiny by comparison. Being a pro gamer really is a tough thing to do.

If you enjoyed this then watch Free to Play, different game (dota) but a really interesting look at the first big money esports tournament from the perspective of a Chinese player, American player and Ukrainian player.

Is it on youtube?

Also a free download in Steam with bonus features and behind the scenes and stuff.

Thanks, just watched it. Very interesting film. That James '2G' Harding used to do shoutcasting at quakecon. It's a pity that Quake 3 and Quakelive, arguably the game with the most skilled gamers, never reached the magnitude of fame and fortune of these other games like DOTA, LoL and Starcraft.
