Hi, I just watched a documentary about Grubby and decided I'd like to see more documentaries of esports, even esports I haven't really followed, such as Quake. I also haven't seen too many Starcraft commentaries so linky link please!

CS 1.6 documentary - This video was made the father of a profesionnal gamer a few years back. He didn't like the fact that his son played video games for hours on end.. so made a documentary.. Ps: after this video was released they didn't talk for a few months.

there is also a documentary called E-@thletes.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crown and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness.

Sucks you don't speak swedish ( I assume you don't ) then Kungarna Av Counter-Strike would be awesome.
But other than that I recommend Beyond the Game.

http://www.igotnextmovie.com/

http://www.kingofchinatown.com/main.html

http://www.focusdocumentary.com/

http://vimeo.com/16293297 (Road to SoCal Regionals - this ones pretty long)

FRAG Documentary was amazing, watch that

Bang the Machine is an old 90's documentary that is only screened at Evolution finals once a year

I Got Next is a fighting game movie that talks about the west coast vs east coast rivalry, but more importantly Gootecks's rise into doing Street Fighter as a profession.

King of Chinatown is the story of Empire Arcadia, the fighting game team, and the rise of Justin Wong as the premier player in America, and when he left to join Team EG

FOCUS is a documentary that follows the life of Mike Ross, another SF4 player, as he goes through tournaments leading up to Evo 2010, the biggest tournament of the year, and faces the best player in the world Daigo Umehara.




I have a SERIOUS fondness for these documentaries so if people find more of these, I'll watch all of them :x
