Great example of a moving that can be enthralling even though the viewer is not a gamer. Nice profiles of three key personalities with great interviews with secondary characters. A bit more info about the Warcraft gameplay might have made it difficulty better to comprehend but still a recommended film for any doc fan - gamer or not.

As a long time player and fan of Warcraft III, I really enjoyed Beyond the Game. It was a look into the tournament lifestyle and personal lives of the former professional WC III players Sky, Grubby and MaDFroG (least featured in the film). This was filmed during a time when E-Sports was still fresh and developing so it's interesting to see this perspective of these pro gamers lives and what they had to go through to continue making a living through gaming. It's worth a watch.
Decent documentary with infuriating editing at times
enjoyed it
