Fnatic and Dexerto e-xciting e-sports doc

"Whenever we make sport films we’re always looking for a fresh angle that goes beyond competition and sporting result to tell human stories that reflect the world around us, for a wide audience to relate to," explains Matt Diegan, founder of Earthling. "We’ve been fascinated by the esports scene for a long time and when we found the story of Boaster, Sumn FC and Fnatic’s approach to Valorant we knew we had a great opportunity in front of us – to make a documentary that shows what these experiences can really be like for young players. 

"When they’re plucked from obscurity and thrust into a world where millions of people are watching them and millions of dollars are on the line, the pressure and the strains on their mental health are huge. The future of esports is bright and the storytelling opportunities are rich. We can’t wait to tell more."

Mike Kent, Co-Founder and Director of Content at Dexerto adds: "This feature-length documentary has been in the pipeline for a while, and in collaboration with Fnatic and Earthling, we've captured the essence of the trials and tribulations faced in esports today. The fly-on-the-wall experience brings fans that bit closer, and goes hand-in-hand with our objective on Dexerto Originals to combine intimate storytelling with high production value, in a way that speaks to our ever-growing audience."
