This is good work, but what I don't understand is why Slashdot keeps promoting this particular filmmaker's Counter-Strike docs to the exclusion of other independently produced CS docs. I haven't seen anything on slashdot ever about Gamers, which is (IMHO) better than this guy's stuff and has been shown at a bunch of CPL events... it does both interviews with C-S big shots and lots of action (competition) sequences. There's a trailer online.
I saw a trailer for a new counterstrike documentary at the CPL championships last summer, it looks like it really gets CS and the players right (I feel like a lot of media coverage misses the whole point of CS or just sensationalizes the violence). I'm not sure when or where the doc is coming out (they said spring 2003 I think??) but the site is http://www.thegamingproject.com
