Season Two of Legends of Gaming Features VR Experience

LOS ANGELES: Endemol Shine Beyond’s SMASHER Network is launching the second season of its hit eSports series Legends of Gaming, complemented by a first-of-its-kind virtual reality experience.

The second season sees eight of the nation’s top gamers competing in a newly designed, six-round tournament featuring 24 games. Pizza Hut is once again on board as its lead brand partner. The new season of Legends of Gaming is hosted by YouTube and Twitch gaming sensation Syndicate, aka Tom Cassell.

For season two, there are both video game play and player introductions in 360. In addition, and also in VR, season one host Toby Turner returns and alongside Syndicate, the two take on a pair of fans in Super Mario Kart. Viewers can get the full immersive VR experience through the YouTube mobile app or by using Google cardboard.

“The second season of Legends of Gaming is packed with many new exciting elements—a brand new six-round tournament format, some of the hottest gamers in the nation and the first-ever Legends virtual reality experience,” said Bonnie Pan, Endemol Shine Beyond USA’s president. “And we are thrilled to have Pizza Hut back with us for a second season as our lead brand partner and Syndicate has proven to be the perfect choice as our new host and resident jokester.”
