    • Welcome to the GreenWall!
Format: Paperback
Being a fan of OpTic Gaming for many years, it is really awesome to finally see their biggest members share their stories. Whether you are into video games or not, this book is a great read simply because it is not just about video games but it's also about their personal lives and how they have been changed by competitive gaming. I have learned a lot about these authors that I had never known before. While many might not think a book about eSports and video games would be interesting, there are a lot of struggles each of these people had to go through in order to become the successful organization that they are today. ... show more

    • Good read
Format: Paperback
Started watching Hecz vlogs. Really like this guys vlogs and his success with Optic so I wanted to read more. It's awesome. I also started in Call of duty 2 at 13 years old. Good book. Call of duty 2 I wouldn't say is the best game ever made. But it was the game I had the most fun with. It's definitely my favorite. ... show more

    • 5 star but biased
Format: Kindle
Green Wall OG here!! A bit biased with the 5 star because I grew up watching everyone that had inserts in this book. Specifically Nadeshot. I don’t think you can even comprehend how many people you’ve touched in a positive light. You’ve inspired me to step out of my comfort zone so many times knowing I might be the best talent in whatever I’m attempting but through hard work and straight GRIT I’m gonna find reach finish line line first. I support all your 100T Drops and lastly scump…. Turn up for mw2 for me. I’ll be watching! ... show more

    • Recommended only for OpTic fans ONLY
Format: Paperback
Somewhat similar to other books by YouTubers, this book takes you through the journey of OpTic Gaming form its humble beginnings to becoming the e-sports giant it is today. Personally, I am a fan of optic gaming which makes me interested in knowing their story. But for anyone else looking for book to pass their time, this is not what you are look for. Only the people who are aware of e-sports and call of duty will enjoy this. The way this book is written in a format I have not seen before.The authors take turns narrating their own experiences in each chapter about the different stages of their careers. My personal favorite is the story of nadeshot, he started out small.. became big... and went down unexpectedly. The authors wanted readers to get more involved with e-sports after reading this book, but the message was not conveyed in the best way possible. Overall the journey of optic is a roller coaster ride with a happy ending. This is what the authors wanted to share with the fans through the book. At the end it didn't feel like I was reading a book, rather it was more like watching a podcast of all the members narrating their story, but this is just me. You may have a very different opinion about this. It is worth giving this book a shot. ... show more

What a great story. It helps that I'm a big fan of most of these guys. If they had out even more time into it, that would have been great. Still a must read for anyone that's heard of Optic Gaming. #GreenWall #T2P #GreenMachine #OG

    • Inspiring
Format: Paperback
I only got the book because I like Optic Formal, and I think he's cute. Also I got the book because I have a MLG team and needed inspiration for us to get us to the top of the leader board when we do game battles. I read it and gave inspiration to my team and now we're top 250 out of 5,000 teams. It's great for inspiration. ... show more

    • Once you start reading, you can't stop.
Format: Paperback
I bought this book with every intention of reading it on my flight next week. Mistakenly, I figured, I'd read a little of the first chapter. Two hours later, I'm halfway done with entire book. It's well written and engaging. Must read if you're GREENWALL.
