Team Ben: A Year as a Professional Gamer

On a whim I decided to use this book as part of an English essay. It fit in beautifully. This book details life during one of the greatest years of Melee and breaks it into chunks by major. Again, just as in the documentary, Fabiszak recalls a great amount of exciting smash history.
I choked up a little in the middle of class with this book and I cheered with Wife at his successes in an empty classroom. I didn't stop reading.

I came from the documentary short, and I'm so glad I got to read this book. Big thanks to Wife for writing this. Big thanks to Team Ben for being such a wonderful part of the smash community.

Fantastic book for anyone wanting to know more about professional Super smash bros. Mr. Fabiszak (nicknamed "Wife") has a real talent for speaking and writing that is completely conveyed.

I love how personable wife is in this book. He also does a great job simplifying some of the complicated aspects and terms of meele. Great book!

Once I got the book, I read it all the way through, and while that not seem like much, for someone with ADHD like me, it is. You can really feel passion behind the many different stories, and Chris is just a natural at wording things. Listen to him talk on the Smash documentary, he definitely has a talent, so it doesn't surprise me that this Smash enthusiast loved his book.

As a spectator of professional smash for multiple years this helped me get a insider view to the ways of a pro smasher.

Being a casual Smash Bros. player, and most especially Melee (as I thought Brawl changed too much for its own good), I was totally enthralled by Mr. Fabiszak's speaking voice when he was being interviewed for The Smash Brothers, a documentary series about the rise and fall and re-rise of competitive Super Smash Brothers Melee.

Then I come to find out that he has actually written a book, and I was totally impressed. To be perfectly honest, Mr. Fabiszak has a wonderful way with words and this book takes that to the next level.

Five stars isn't nearly enough praise for this fabulous book that blends both happy and awesome with sad and unbelievably tragic. Good luck on your future endeavors, sir, and hopefully your Peach and my Marth will eventually collide. I know I'll get my butt kicked, but I'm okay with that.
