Tribeca Film Festival podcast: 67 million players per month can’t be wrong – Interview with the Cloud 9 team of League of Legends for the work-in-progress ‘All Work All Play’

All Work All Play Cloud 9 2

 

Whether you’re a gamer or not, you can appreciate the time and talent it takes to become a world champion. In League of Legends, the free-to-play online game from Riot Games, two teams of five compete. One of the top North American teams, Cloud 9, is profiled in the new documentary All Work All Play, screened as a work-in-progress at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. I sat down with the team before any of us had seen the movie, and asked them about their lives, interests and what it means to be part of an emerging sport, well, e-sport, that is.
