The Human Behind the Controller: A Look Into the World of Competitive Smash Bros. and Esports

Rate this book
The Human Behind the Controller is an autobiographical approach as to how the average Super Smash Bros. competitor lives in the world of esports. For nearly a decade, Kevin, or "iDK," has been dedicated to improving at this game, traveling across the United States to compete and meeting thousands of faces along the way--all while working a 9-to-5 job.

In this book, Kevin shares with you the world of competitive Smash--how he and thousands of young adults have changed their lives by playing video games, whether or not they go pro. You'll discover how Smash, and any other esport, is more than "just a video game," underlying all the life lessons that nobody knew they would go through, and making us more human thanks to competitive gaming.
