Before there was Call of Duty or Battlefield, there was Counter-Strike.
Beginning as a free download created by a small team of amateur designers, Counter-Strike became one of the most popular games in the world in the early 2000s. Players from all over the globe formed clans, honed their skills, and worked their strats to compete in international events with hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes at stake.
G4M3RS is the story of competitive computer gaming at the dawn of the millennium. From close friends driving their PCs to local LAN parties, to the best teams in the world traveling halfway around the globe to compete for huge cash prizes, from artists to cheaters, from scrappy game designers to one of the most innovative and successful game companies in the world, from a father and his son to a husband and wife, this documentary shows the many faces of the Counter-Strike community.
