“Players”: série de comédia sobre e-sports de “League of Legends” teve trailer e estreia anunciados

Players, comédia em estilo documental sobre uma equipe fictícia de e-sports de League of Legends, teve seu trailer anunciado pela Paramount+ em 10 de maio de 2022. A estreia foi marcada para 16 de junho nos Estados Unidos; a reportagem brasileira correspondente informou 17 de junho para a chegada dos três primeiros episódios ao Brasil.

Qual é a premissa de Players?

A série acompanha uma equipe profissional fictícia de League of Legends que tenta conquistar seu primeiro campeonato. O conflito central é a parceria entre Organizm, um prodígio de 17 anos, e Creamcheese, um veterano de 27. Apesar do estilo documental, trata-se de uma comédia roteirizada, não de um registro factual de uma equipe real.
