At the beginning of May, Polish director Philip Syczynski said that he was going to make a film dedicated to the formation of an e-sports team. The plot will be based on the story of the Polish team Golden Five, whose members successfully performed at international tournaments in 2006-2009.
The film, which received the working title “Ghost,” will tell about the fate of a boy named Tomek, who meets other players and goes from an amateur passion for computer games to victories on the international CS:GO stage. The director says that although the film is based on the true story of the formation of the Golden Five, it will not be biographical in the full sense of the word.
Philip Syczynski says that the news about the first victories of the Golden Five made a very strong impression on him. Thanks to the luck and skill of a few people, Poland has appeared on the eSports map. Many began to view him differently, and young players received more motivation to develop. The director mentioned that he is in contact with Janusz Kubski, the father of one of the Golden Five players. It is likely that some scenes will faithfully reproduce episodes from the history of the team and the lives of its members.
The film by Philip Syczynski is expected to be released in 2021.
