About:
With unparalleled access to world leading esports organisation Fnatic, this feature length documentary offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the organisation as they take their first steps into arguably the most exciting and important new gaming title to launch in a decade, Valorant.
With an inaugural World Championship Title on the line Fnatic take a risk by placing their faith in an amateur team of underdogs led by the charming, musical theatre trained, Jake “Boaster” Howlett. Can they turn this team, most of whom have never gamed outside of their bedrooms, into professional title contenders?
Take Your Shot joins the team across their debut season, from their first LAN tournament in Iceland, to painful training bootcamps in Poland & London and finally to a shot at the first World Title and a one million dollar prize pool in Berlin. Intimate access throughout shows the highs, the lows, the wins, the losses and offers a unique window into the lives of young players thrust into the limelight with immense pressure on them to succeed.
