Plot Synopsis

Co-created and executive produced by Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, PLAYERS is a 10-episode docu-style comedy series that follows a fictional pro "League of Legends" Esports team as they pursue their first championship after years of close calls and heartache. To win it all, they need their prodigy, a 17-year-old rookie, and their 27-year-old veteran to put their egos aside and work together. League of Legends solo-que player Keldon Elmore (aka Organizm) is recruited by owner Nathan Resnick to join his favorite team: Fugitive. At Asset Day, Legacy team member Creamcheese is miffed when Org is elevated to the A-team and his friend Frugger is demoted. During Organizm's first professional match, he goes rogue, causing the team to lose. Encouraged by coach Braxton to apologize, Organizm leaves Creamcheese a voicemail that begins sincere, but quickly turns, establishing a new team rivalry. The first four episodes of PLAYERS dropped on Thursday, June 16, 2022 on Paramount+. A new episode dropped each Thursday through July 28.
