- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Coming from someone who has followed esports actively for over a decade: this book was awful. It is full of incorrect information, written in an obnoxious way and feels like it was put together by someone who only knows what esports are and how the business and community work because someone explained it to them in 5 minutes
