Leans more toward a premium collectors' item than a super-comprehensive history. | ||

The rise and fall of online poker in the late 2000's/early 2010's is worthy of a documentary in itself! It's no surprise that a number of StarCraft players ended up getting into poker, but AFAIK no one was doing both simultaneously (at least at a serious level). | ||

But will the book answer that? Magic Johnson now owns part of Team Liquid, if that helps? xD | ||
