OVERVIEW: G! follows Mateo, a high school student from a working-class family, whose passion for esports clashes with his father Ronald’s insistence on academics. When scouted by Coach Eli at a local pisonet (PC vending machine) café, Mateo joins Team G! for a major tournament. Despite his father’s disapproval, he sneaks away to bootcamp, determined to prove gaming is more than a hobby. As the competition intensifies, he battles the pressures of teamwork and his father’s doubts, fighting for a championship, a scholarship, and reconciliation.
