While this is how the characters work out, it takes a while for Jones to find his form. The problem is that in nearly every scene Organizm shares with Creamcheese, Creamcheese steals the spotlight. It is this mindset that clashes with the goals of Creamcheese and creates the schism between the two. This is something that Players does as well as anything. His story is not only interesting but at times it also feels like it is based in reality. Played by Da’Jour Jones, Organizm is an extremely reserved 17-year-old prodigy whose focus is to be the best. The other major player in this story is Organizm. Creamcheese is the star of this show and Brooks does an incredible job of bringing him to life. This is the entire path of his story which seems linear at first but eventually pays of with multiple storylines mixing in with his ultimate goals. It is his drive to win an LCS championship and to make up for the mistakes of the past. They continuously pull back the layers throughout the show revealing a much more raw person than he would lead on. The character has so much more depth than people will realize at first. His embodiment of Creamcheese is the best part of Players. This may seem annoying at first but truly Misha Brooks steals the show. Fugitive, the LCS team was started by him and his friends and he reminds everyone of it constantly. The theme of this is visited throughout with every episode going back on forth on a 10-year timeline. Played by Misha Brooks, Creamcheese is an older player who made some promises that he couldn’t keep. From Creamcheese’s beginnings, it is clear that some real-life influences from League of Legends esports are used and fans of those players will recognize this. He was originally called something else, but revealing that would spoil the fun.
Their hope? To find a way to come together and win Fugitive’s first LCS championship. The two could not be more different in what drives them and this leads to a lot of butting heads. Then there is the young rookie sensation, Organizm. He is an older player that is one of the top players at his position in North America. This mockumentary follows Creamcheese, yes, the main character of this show is named Creamcheese. It is time for a no-spoliers review of Players which can be seen now on Paramount+. Between the many League of Legends references and even the style this mockumentary is shot in, there is no doubt who this show was made for. Players is not this and that is not a bad thing in this instance. Most of the time shows are made to hit a certain audience but still have a wide appeal.
