Game Boys : Professional Videogaming's Rise from the Basement to the Big Time
By Michael KaneTeam 3D and CompLexity are two of the world's top professional e-sports clans competing in the 5v5 team game Counter-Strike. Their battle for dominance, as juicy as any feud in "real" sports, leads the action in Game Boys, Michael Kane's pioneering chronicle of the lifestyle and business of hardcore gaming. Gamers on the pro circuit win, lose, scout opponents, cheat, quarrel, skip practice, sign with rival teams, and get berated by sideline-pacing coaches. Some use performance-enhancing ADD drugs. And now they're going on TV. Are they really the "athletes" of tomorrow? They act like they are.
