It is a world that fascinates millions of people around the world and especially in France. Appearing in the mainstream only a few years ago, eSports has become a real phenomenon that attracts public interest and curiosity with competitions around popular video games such as League of Legends, Fortnite, Rocket League…
French eSports has become particularly famous thanks to the exploitation of the Karmine Corp team, which has been crowned several times in international competitions. But this world still remains unknown to a large part of the population. However, all that could change thanks to Into the Legend, a documentary series produced by Paramount+.
This program covers the 2024 LFL season (French League of Legends). Each episode focuses on eSports talent: Caliste, Selfmade, Eika and Boukada. Other talents from this discipline also appear in the program (notably Kameto, the founder of Karmine Corp), while the series’ narration is provided by Squeezie.
Electronic sports will have no more secrets for you!
Like the series Formula 1: The Pilots of their Destiny on Netflix, Legend is helping to attract a whole new audience. Thus, comments make it possible to explain the rules to better understand the issues of the competition. The program also addresses the darker aspects of eSports, such as cyber-harassment or sexism towards e-players.
The series also allows you to follow the training of e-athletes at a sustained pace that causes great physical and mental fatigue for some. While video games are seen as a recreational activity for most people, In The Legend reminds us that the stakes here are competitive over the personal development of the participants.
Whether you’re a fan of eSports or not, the Paramount+ documentary series offers an exciting dive into this world of online gaming. Rhythmic editing and the intervention of various iconic personalities contribute to the quality entertainment of this program, in line with the series of sports documentaries that are popular on other platforms.
All six episodes of Into the Legend are now available exclusively on Paramount+.
