my surprise, this film was not made into a soft commercial for dota2, it is a biographical film about three do2 players.
In recent years, with the popularity of computers and the Internet, the threshold for e-sports has become lower and lower. Children from poor Ukrainian families like Dendi can also show their talents to the world in dota, free to play.
But after watching the film, we know that the symbol after the title free to play is not ".", but "?" .
The film tells us that you can choose go pro to become a professional player, but you also have to accept the indifference of mainstream social values, and you have to take the risk that your family and friends do not understand or support it. Who knows how much e-sports players have paid for their dreams? How many people who want to step into the e-sports circle dare to say that they can bear the pressure of "no way out if you don't get good grades" from Singapore's hyhy who abandons her studies and goes to ti1?
Hyhy told the camera about his father, a dock driver who worked more than ten hours a day, and his urging to "don't repeat your old way", his eyes were full of confusion.
At the end of the film, it is explained that the protagonists have a good belonging, hyhy is studying for a master's degree, and Dendi, the world's top soloist in Ukraine, is preparing for this year's ti4 (will he be pulled away by the conscripts), but no matter how inspirational and vulgar the ending is, it can't cover this film. The independent film temperament, this is not a movie about dota2. Like the 12-year documentary "Indie Game Movie", it is a microcosm of us, the boys of this era.
I like the soundtrack, yes
