WCG Ultimate Gamer levels up to its second season, pitting a dozen top video gamers from around the country against each other to test their skills. They will face-off in a range of video game and real-life competition that take them "beyond the game," all while living together as housemates. Drama will unfold, as only one gamer can emerge victorious to claim the title of WCG Ultimate Gamer.
From real-life, large-scale challenges inspired by top-selling games such as Tekken 6, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart Wii, NHL 2010, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Forza 3 and WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, to head-to-head elimination matches before hundreds of screaming spectators, the last gamer standing will have survived gaming's ultimate test and will be dubbed the best all-around gamer in the world. In winning, they will take home the biggest prize in gaming: $100,000, the ultimate Samsung prize package and the chance to represent the World Cyber Games at events around the world.
This season, the stakes have been raised as the final two contestants will face off for the title at the prestigious 10th anniversary WCG 2010 Grand Final competition and festival taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center, September 30th - October 3rd 2010. The WCG Grand Final is the world's largest gaming festival, held annually with thousands of participants from around the world.
