The Celebrity Millionaires of Competitive Gaming 

Did this guy just make fun of imagine dragons lol

help, the passive aggressiveness is killing me

I thought this was suppose to be about eSports not Cosplaying...

Love the channel vice, and love all the content. However, it would have been nice to see someone doing the interviews and presenting that is a little more in touch with the esport scene.

KSI is barely a gamer, he's just an annoying and weirdly popular internet personality. I hate that he's rich for that. Why can't I go and scream at Fifa and make millions?

watching Dude POUT ABOUT BEING DISSED BY THE SPIRAL CATS.... PRICELESS.

I don't think the thing that makes this Vice guy annoying is that he's new to the whole scene/doesn't know what's going on within esports. The annoying thing is that his attitude is super elitist towards the people and the hobby because he's cooler than all of the people involved. For the most part, Vice videos have interviewers involved that are openminded to the situations they are getting into. This guy does not feel that way at all. He has that same vibe of you're a nerd, I'm not, so I'm better than you, and that's the worst kind of person to have do this type of documentary on.

The story is fine, but the white dude trying to show the Asian kids what in his mind is "really" a good time at that cheesy ass club is just so lame ... sorry bro, different strokes for different folks

Alot of these esports "stars" seem to be really smug.

wow vice you found a new annoying host

He seemed to get a little agitated after they ate and had a few drinks and then went to the PC Bang lol

I don't understand why they let this guy cover this topic. He clearly knows next to nothing about the subject, has done little research, doesn't seem to make any genuine attempts to try and learn from a gamer's perspective and basically just tries to create a negative attitude towards gaming. Half the video isn't even about esports with focus on cosplaying and how games aren't as fun as other things like the 10 minute segment on clubbing. This wasn't really an insight into competitive gaming, rather it was more of a guy giving his opinion from an outside perspective and mostly just bashing on gaming culture

"Hey! Know whats a good idea?? Lets get a host who knows nothing about esports for this"

This reporter feels like the creepy guy who was never invited to parties in high school, but pretends he's a fratbro with a ton of friends when he gets to college.

It's like they send the one guy who doesnt know what the fuck is going on.

If this was about millionaires of competitive gaming, you should've included Dota 2 for more than 10m USD pot money for prize.

Why is it that when a "traditional" media channel covers anything esports related it is always with a cynical undertone?

Imagine a journalist traveling to the other side of the world to make an hour long documentary on baseball, but the journalist doesn't bother to learn the difference between a ball and strike before hand. That's what you get here. At best a half-hearted look at the eSports culture, and at worst thinly-veiled and condescending disinterest with eSports culture. There are segments that are interesting and informative, but these are starkly contrasted by segments where the host's almost willful ignorance of the subject and condescension over the culture are the only things to be learned. Two moments of surprising unprofessionalism standout. First, while cover a group of gamers and their weekend routine, the host begins to pout about being left out when they start playing games. Then, instead of playing games with them -- an activity that would produce more insight into the culture -- he coerces the group to go to a traditional club with the purpose of getting them out of their comfort zone; their comfort zone being the thing he's making a documentary about. Second, the host takes a petty and pointless jab at a musical group, Imagine Dragons (1:00:26). I'm not a fan of Imagine Dragon and like the host I can't recall meeting people who are fans of them, but the obvious conclusion is that my social circle and I are not the target audience. Speaking of target audiences, it's hard to tell who's the target audience of this documentary. Gamers will likely find the palpable moments of condescension off putting. Non-gamers will not gain any sincere knowledge of the culture as it's evident that the host himself is reluctant to delve into it and learn himself. Perhaps the target audience are people of other counter-cultures who want to dismissively, but not too dismissively, look at another counter culture while pretending to learn something about it.

Vice, this was painful to watch. KSi is not an E-Sports star.... he's a youtuber. Oh , the irony.....

LOL The cringe at being denied by C9 Hai

"The Celebrity Millionaires of Competitive Gaming" and they interview ksi -.-

Somehow I feel like in 30 years or so there will be a horror movie about this doctor.

Vice does stories on some interesting topics, but they can't seem to actually hire professional journalists.

This dude is cringe to the max

Does anyone else feel like the only person in this video lacking in social skills, is the reporter himself.

So...them having fun playing games with eachother is not really acceptable to the VICE reporter who'd rather they all go out to a loud nightclub and drink booze and not talk to eachother at all? :/

Athlete: a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise.

"there's someone sitting with the spiral-cats right now and...that's kind of my thing, sooo...." jesus christ man....

The video was good. I don't give a shit if the guy-reporter is gay. The video could be better if he had just a bit of humour.

Was it that hard to find a reporter that has ever played a game?

This video implies that clubbing is the correct way to have fun whereas gaming is wrong.

... It’s like reporting on football without knowing how the game works. It’s shitty as hell.

this is why everyone in korea has glasses

Such an awkward interviewer. Anyone else think he took this as a holiday? The complaining around the 45:00 mark about them using the computers and not drinking with him is ridiculous. He's supposed to be documenting their lives, not influencing them.

I don't like the reporter, no social skills and looks down on gaming...

Every time he says "computer games" I wanna slap him.

KSI's a tool...

Pretty interesting how we have gotten to this point in gaming, also pretty pathetic in my opinion.

I did not like this "documentary" at all. I was disappointed that the host didn't really know what he was talking about. He seemed mocking to the topic and the people he was documenting instead of being objective and cordial. There are some really good VICE documentaries, but this is not one of them. I hope in the future that VICE takes these criticisms into account because this isn't really informing anyone... it's more alienating people.

Damn the trolls really came out in full force for this video.

You should notice that their are no such things as "a millionnaire pro-gamer", the only rich guy we see is actually a RU-vidr, veeery different. Most of the e-sport players are actually really struggling with money...

"They leave their bed rooms" lmao is this a jab at gamers or pro players?

cringy. this isnt documentary. felt like vice team mocking and underestimating the world of gamers.

Gaming isnt a sport. Gamers arnt athletes. for fucks sake.

you sent the wrong guy to do the docu

Imagine you get front class seats next to the cheer leaders and you come back and lebron james stole your seat

VICE: Hey you can you speak korean or know anythng about esports Reporter: Nah man I like clubbing though VICE: Perfect! You're hired!

CS GO best e sport... It just pulls 10 times less numbers because asians are not interested in it.

Prediction: Computer Games will become a sport and everyone will get pissed.

His interactions with the dude from cloud9 are absolutely hilarious, its practically satirical

this journalist is a bit out of his..league

I hate how the reporter was mocking gamers throughout the documentary.

"the spiral cats have left me for hai" ya like u deserve their attention stop whining about not being able to be with the hottest cosplayers in korea u know next to nothing about esports

What the hell is up with this reporter?

I wasted 1 hour and 7 minutes of my life hoping for them to mention cs:go

If any of these zips that think they're hot shit for playing video games gave me attitude like that.. They would be shown why they're playing video games for a living.

I took about a 2 year ish break from video games, i used to play hours and hours which in the end i got pretty over weight and depressed, gaming is fine aslong as you have other hobbys and exercising regularly really helps battle depression

This guy is the exact reason why gamers dont let outsiders into their world. Everyone just gets looked at as a nerd when in fact a lot of them make more money then this guy will ever have.

67 million lol players!? My god! I gotta play this shit.

Man you gotta send someone with an open mind into esports. His entire demeanor just ruins what would have been a really interesting and educational documentary

why are all vice interviewers the most awkward unprofessional , mono tone

* C9 America's best team* TRIGGERED!!

people saying video games is a sport, this is the definition of sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively so dont tell me video games are a sport.

Why was this uncomfortable 😂😂😂😂😂

"Gamers would rather spend the night gaming than going out to the club like clubbers." 10/10 Also, nice job teaching that clueless nerd a lesson about how hitting the club is so much more important in life than playing his video game by making him embarrass himself! Good work! Maybe you can do the same thing now with some competitive Chess players, take em' out to the club and show them the real meaning of life!

if he researched and respected the eSports movement, especially how far it has come so quickly - I would've liked this. What a wasted opportunity.

9:43 ... Really? who cares.

The first part of the documentary is quite interesting and provides information about the negative aspects of being a pro-gamer. However, there is a point after which the reporter starts to judge those guys behaviour and therefore, he's being biased. He cannot conduct a documentary and emit his opinion like the way he did. In the end, rather than a documentary, it's a video where the journalist expresses his thoughts about e-sports.

meh... eSports is more than LoL.... put Dota and CSGO and we are fine

The point is people are attracted to performance, skill, competition, and a sense of community. It's not about the physicality of it. It's great to watch people who are incredibly talented and trained compete to prove they are the very best. In that sense eSports are like regular sports. Regardless of what you think, this will happen whether you like it or not, so why be so negative about it? Maybe consider your reaction is based on some bias or fear of the unknown.

I find it weird that no football or B-ball documentary ever brought up addiction to the sport, whereas pretty much every time eSports is on the table, it get's brought up. How about you actually let go of your prejudice and deal with eSports in one documentary and addiction in another, as the two aren't even remotely related.

why does he hates so much gaming ? man, just chill

i feel as though this is THE most condescending "documentary" i've ever seen.

1:38 get_right wearing a fnatic shirt? wat?

Lmao these people aren't athletes.

Vice has fallen over the past couple years with their docs. I wish journalist had some experience with what they are assigned to cover or at least some research from informative sources. Gamers always have that stigmatism of “no lives” which I was called a lot when I was young but coming from a rough neighborhood, gaming kept me away from the bad people. I did have friends throughout high school and had a social life but gaming was always a hobby of mine. The community itself is fun. I have been to several competitions at my local esports arena (Santa Ana) and the people you meet are always nice. Don’t be ashamed to be a gamer.

"The Kinky one" and "The Wizard one"... At least send someone who knows what they're doing...

It's not just league of legends, counter strike: global offensive, WOW, Dota 2, Lionheart (not as big but still), Street fighter, StarCraft 2, and a lot more! Gaming is great :D

You have to be a badass to give yourself the nickname "Cool".

I love how Cloud9 has their own theme here and they’re presented like Team Rocket from Pokémon. That High/Hi/Whatever guy was like an arch nemesis throughout the entire documentary.

ksi is far from being an esport athlete

Did he just call sona a wizard😂

This actually is pretty good considering the guy has no clue what's going on.

Holy crap matt is like cringy af 57:45

It's so odd to see this from a non-gamer's perspective.

This documentary makes it seems like eSports only started when LoL came out. It started with Starcraft and has been around for a while. I remember watching live competitions on TV over 10 years ago.

"playing 18 hours a day" - no certainly not, around 8 hours for sleep and other physical activities + family/friend stuff

DOTA2 > LOL.

12:55 why did this just turn into a documentary about some dude feeling left out

He has such a narrow-minded way of looking at everything

this "reporter" was so closed-minded....and for some reason unable to listen....totally failing to understand.....unable to let go of his biased ego....sad. Also...everyone knows who imagine dragons are and that's because they're kickass....amazing how much escapes his sheltered mind

59:01 is that sneaky lol

This reporter is cringy af

I personally don't get why E-Sports are so great, guess it's preference in types of games I find "MOBA" to be rather boring, now Fighters for me that's where it's at.

Hilarious and unnecessary detour to dig at Imagine Dragons here: skip to 1:00:27

I stopped watching after about 13 minutes, when the topic turned into something depressing about exclusivity and celebrity, and less about actual gaming abd the skills and process behind doing it professionally.

This video should be titled, "insecure reporter realizes he is not capable of investigative journalism."

What's this reporters problem? For a journalist, guy seems a little close minded dont ya think?

I was looking for a CSGO themed video for esports, but I’ll take a cringey league of legends reviewed by someone who knows nothing on the subject.

Humanity has reached a new level of sadness.
