If you care at all about eSports, than you'll enjoy this movie. It's possible that you know how the story goes because you are a diligent fan who watches the game, but the real thing that makes this movie shine is that it's more than just League of Legends. It's about the struggles of players, companies, and even those individuals who put these events together. I personally, am very passionate about eSports, I don't believe that the players and those who help make it what it is, get the respect they should deserve. This gives us a small view into a much more complicated, emotional and competitive world that is eSports. And shows that eSports is more than just playing a game.
