Comrades, take care of your old school. The first series of the documentary series "Bears on the Server", devoted to Russia's history, has been released. The film crew led by director Kirill Alekhin did an incredible job of documenting how computer sports evolved from a hobby for a handful of enthusiasts to a phenomenon that has reunited tens of thousands of people.
In a five-film series, how did video games develop into a full-fledged sport? Does our esports have attributes and character? Why do games today provide a career and social boost?
The series took two years to develop and was filmed at the Russian E-sports Championship in Belgorod in May 2022. The group flew all over the country, stopping at places such as Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, the Surgut area, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, Belgorod, and Moscow.
GoodGame.ru has become one of the series' media partners. A story about Russia's history of esports will not be complete without some local beavers.
On VKontakte and the Chill service, you may watch the first episode of "Bears." And after watching, you may visit Kinopoisk and rate it there or write a review.
