REE TO PLAY is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament. In recent years, E Sports has surged in popularity to become one of the most widely-practiced forms of competitive sport today. A million dollar tournament changed the landscape of the gaming world and for those elite players at the top of their craft, nothing would ever be the same again. Produced by Valve, the film documents the challenges and sacrifices required of players to compete at the highest level.

| One other thing I’d add before I’ll say any more – it’s funny how much I think this scene hasn’t really changed. I remember handing out thousands of dollars in prizes to CS winners at QGLs back in the day. Sure, the prize pool has changed – $1m is pretty decent scratch – but all the challenges are still the same, the ecosystem is still similar, and ultimately whether or not the game is going to be there tomorrow is still a big factor. |
| one area in which I think dota really stands out is the spectator appeal. especially compared to fps games, but even something like starcraft, there is just so much going on at any one time and the potential for a single player to make a huge game changing play. the way 5 people work together in a dota match in creative and exciting ways to beat out an opposition trying to do the same is, imo, really unique even compared to other team based e-sports. |
| See I have almost the opposite opinion – I am a pretty avid dota 2 player but I am staggeringly uninterested in watching it. Even the clips from Free to Play I found hard to follow and boring because they are mostly out of context of the rest of the game. I agree with everything you said – the 5 player teamplay is rad and different in every single game. But for me it’s boring as s*** to watch. |
| I am not really into e-sports because i would rather play then watch, this is also included in normal sport. But really enjoyed watching the International last year. I found it was very well streamed and the games were fun to watch. especially finals. |

I was like that, but I got in to it around TI2. It’s all about the casters in my opinion. They make or break a game.
