Did you know there are universities that offered scholarships to students to participate in their esports programs? This movie is about a female gamer who feels unfairly treated by her male teammates. So she quits the team & forms her own all female team to challenge her former teammates. There are no surprises here as the plot follows the underdog competition formula: the ragtag crew of oddballs, the reluctant coach, making mistakes, in-house fighting, team building exercise, going to Nationals, & going up against your arch enemies in the Finals. This one is for the female gamers to root for the underdog team. It’s a very predictable storyline with stereotypical characters in this comedy with a touch of a romance side story. If you are interested in gaming, you might enjoy the video visuals.
