Can anyone become a professional gamer with the right amount of training and commitment? Die Noobs sets out to answer that question. Zack Below and Jason Rubek are two friends who played online video games together for well over a decade before deciding to finally meet up in real life with the goal of competing together in a professional gaming tournament.
This launches a journey full of laughter and wonder, one that tests the limits of dedication and changes their lives forever. With less than one year to learn how to become “pros,” they enlist the help of champions from all walks of life and uncover tournaments with prize purses bigger than the Kentucky Derby and competitors who make up to seven-figure incomes.
The film’s star-studded cast includes Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows, Superman Dean Cain, UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett, Super Bowl Champion Tom Crabtree, NFL Punter Chris Kluwe, Playboy Playmate Pamela Horton and dozens of professional gamers, casters and teams spanning three continents.
