2024 Esports World Cup Documentary Series Is Coming To Prime Video

On June 6th, Amazon Prime Video is set to debut “Esports World Cup: Level Up,” a five-part documentary series chronicling the first ever Esports World Cup (EWC) in 2024. This series, helmed by Emmy-winning director R.J. Cutler, provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes perspective of the tournament.

As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the epic series I’ve been eagerly anticipating, produced by This Machine (under Sony Pictures Television), is about to roll out new episodes every week. This global phenomenon will be available across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide!

But here’s what really gets me pumped – showrunner John Dorsey will be teaming up with executive producers Jane Cha Cutler, Trevor Smith, Elise Pearlstein, and Mark Blatty to breathe life into this extraordinary documentary. Can’t wait to see it unfold!

The documentary “Level Up” is filmed using a real-life approach (verité style) and showcases the most exciting highlights from an eight-week competition that took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Cutler expressed that the Esports World Cup captivated him due to the intriguing human narratives unfolding within such a high-stakes setting. He added that “Level Up” isn’t simply about the intense competition and lucrative rewards; it’s about the determination, enthusiasm, and indomitable spirit of these athletes and teams, pushing the limits of what can be achieved.

In this upcoming series, we’ll be focusing on significant plot points for FAKER (from T1), Soka (Team Falcons), Sanford (Team Liquid), Drazah (Atlanta FaZe), and both Chel and Cinny (Team Vitality).

This series will delve into crucial story arcs for FAKER, Soka, Sanford, Drazah, and the duo of Chel and Cinny – all hailing from their respective teams.

In addition, it will highlight Yevhen Zolotarov, the chief executive officer of NAVI, as well as Mossad Aldossary, the head of Team Falcons.

According to Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, while a victory might grab the headlines, the true tale lies in the individuals responsible for it. The series “Level Up” delves into the emotional aspect of esports: the tension, the drive, the compromises. It’s about understanding what one needs to endure to compete at the peak level and why it holds significance. R.J. excels at narrating such stories, and this particular piece encapsulates the essence of our endeavor.
