Kervin G I used to play Dota 2 back then but sometimes I seldom play it. But don't get me wrong. Dota 2 is a great game for the MOBA strategy players. As for the movie called "Free To Play" It was exciting to watch this documentary and learn more about the prize pool, the tournament, and the players's background stories, some are relatable, and some are in team gaming. But one thing that I didn't expect from this documentary is that this documentary has achievements. Not only that I got to watch the movie and get the achievement It gave me the motivation to watch this documentary and of course check out deleted scenes and behind the scenes and even made us watch the movie again with commentaries just to get the achievement I am not really much of an extreme fan of DOTA but this, movie is another interesting movie to watch and get achievements. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review JP h Gives you a glimpse into the gamers world a special time when China is beaten leading the rise of a superstar gamer. It's a little all over the place with multiple peoples' stories but still decent Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/08/23 Full Review nee d I really wanted to watch this but the sound production is so horrible. The music and noise volumes are way up but the voice volume from people speaking is below audible. I was constantly messing with the remote volume for 10 minutes and finally gave up. I have never written a review here before, that is how bad this is. Unwatchable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty great and entertaining. Found myself getting bored about 3/4 of the way through, but still was good. Definitely would reccomend. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It was just the beginning for e-sports. Very well made documentary. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Actually it was much better than I thought it would be. It was interesting to see into the lives of some of the competitive gamers. It gave an interesting view into what their life is like. It is fairly heavy on the gaming, so I only recommend it for gamers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
