The film explores the sub-culture of pro-gaming through the lives of North America’s top e-sports team, Team Evil Geniuses, as they tour the world competing for money, fame, and glory. Chris “Huk” Loranger, is Canada’s finest e-sports export and self-proclaimed diva; Greg “IdrA” Fields, a legend in the Starcraft community, now disillusioned with his once passion; Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson, a former college football captain turned pro-gamer now at a crossroads in his career, and his bride to be, a Miss USA pageant contestant. Evil Geniuses’ CEO, Alex Garfield, is faced with the growing pains of being on the leading edge of a burgeoning multi-billion dollar industry; balancing sponsors and managing egos; all while trying to keep his own life in check.

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.
