I had the opportunity to sit down with author and FGC-member Eli Horowitz to discuss his book Bodied. Bodied is the story of a girl named Maya, an avid Marvel vs. Capcom player who competes at her local arcade. The book details Maya's journey through the FGC, introducing her to many settings, people, and situations that are interesting to FGC members and outsiders alike.

In addition to being an author, Eli is a writer for toptier.gg, a moderator for a TO-centric Discord, and a very active FGC Twitter user. Be sure to pick up the book and look through his other work at [ Ссылка ]
