Good start, but then it gets ruined

Boring

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

If you are reading this, then chances are you are an enthusiastic person when it comes to gaming and the idea of E-Sports in general. I am a 20 year old guy, who lives in Bangladesh, a country where professional gaming is still in its baby steps. So seeing this documentary fills my heart with hope and joy, first of all let me clear up one thing, this movie is not about Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike or any single competitive game. It's about the idea of competitive gaming and everything that comes with it, like every normal person i am currently studying and am trying to somehow build a successful life for myself. But that is not where my passion lies, i am simply doing it because of the sake of it, i am a decent student and am relatively well rounded in life, but nothing and i mean nothing compares to the thrill and satisfaction i get from competitive gaming. Despite being in a country where competitive gaming feels like a mere dream i have always tried to take a shot at it and like every person who is attempting to do the same i face many criticism from people all around me, but we still hope and we still keep on trying, don't we ? This is exactly what this movie/documentary captures, Gaming is no longer a thing of entertainment only, it has now become a competitive sport at an international level and that gives people like us a lot of hope. This documentary follows the life and struggle of 3 famous players who have fought through all odds, Danil "Dendi" Ishutin from Ukraine, Benedict "HyHy" Lim from Singapore and Clinton "Fear" Loomis from USA. It presents their life style as a gamer beautifully, you feel their pain, their struggles in everyday life and above all you can truly relate to their mentality as a competitive gamer. The movie is also very well produced, the music fits the scenes perfectly and the transition from one story to another feels smooth and never throws you off the hook of excitement. I for one was simply staring at it and seeing parts of my life pop up in front of my eyes, yes i am nowhere near as successful as the players features but i can relate nonetheless, it does not matter what games you play or even if you are into competitive gaming, i request any and every person to watch this so you can get a little insight to a competitive players mind. Especially parents who are struggling to understand their children's obsession with video games would see this so they can learn to understand them better and manage accordingly. All said and done Free to Play is one of Valve's greatest creation and it is something every gamer and the people around them should watch.GG WP VALVE

I play Dota myself occasionally and only through this game have I become introduced to the E-Sports scene. I have never accepted and recognised the sacrifices that these E-Sport players really make. When I thought of pro-gaming, I imagined a normal teenager juggling his social life, studies and gaming separately with ease. It is only through this documentary that I have come to come to terms the real sacrifices that a gamer in the pro scene makes, the life changing decisions they make and the struggle to get to where they have become and to break out into the scene. It does stir some emotions within you and you really start to appreciate the decisions they have made to pursue a career that has not been well recognised by modern society, a career that has been stigmatised with addiction and just plainly being a 'waste of time'. The documentary delves deep into these issues and the shows the attempts made by pro gamers to break free from these false views to truly make this career something they love doing and a career that others can appreciate. It shows how the prize pool for DOTA 2 International laid the foundations for the strong E-Sports community that is present today and the establishment for a much bigger scene in the future.

After watching this documentary, I can't help but find myself realizing that this movie was about so much more than the game it is based on. Following the life and struggle of these three exceptional players and people caught me off guard and often had me feeling sentimental. Valve did an excellent job of telling their stories without over promoting their company/game. I found that they chose the perfect three people to base this documentary on. On one end you see the success of Danil, the struggle of Benedict, and the drive of Clinton. Three completely different people with completely different lives and different stories. The one thing in common was the struggle and the pressure they all lived. Once again Valve did an excellent job of really highlighting how great these three truly are. I recommend this to any viewer who just wants to watch a great documentary.This is more than just a game.
