Reddit reviews Evo Moment 37: One of the Most Famous Moments in Competitive Gaming History

Moment 37 Evo

There's also a book all about this moment, and the season 2 finale of Video Game High School made homage to it.

A lot more people (including me) saw the video and didn't understand the full extent of what was going on than did. Here's an article that explains it a bit more and lays bare the mindgame that was going on in a pretty straightforward and satisfying way.

Part of a chapter focuses on the FGC. It was just a lot to juggle with four major games to cover, and the FGC has traditionally seen itself as separate from eSports, although you're seeing a lot more investment in the past year.

I hope others publish more books on the FGC. There's some that are currently available:
