An E-sports movie that makes e-sports its core focus? I just don't see it working.
With thematically similar sports films, like say 'Bend it Like Beckham' or even 'She's the Man,' the 'sports' segments of the film are entertaining to watch. E-sports, not so much. It's not like a real e-sports match, either, as the main appeal for fans is being emotionally invested with the teams they back.
How would a filmmaker approach an e-sports film? They've set themselves a bit of a challenge here, since there's no established way to do these things besides copying the format of sports films.
