You can also expect other known figures like Offset, Future, Young Thug and sports stars like Gordon Hayward (Boston Celtics), JuJu Smith-Schuster (Pittsburgh Steelers), Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur F.C.), Philip Forsberg (Nashville Predators), DeMarcus Cousins (NBA All Star), Mikal Bridges (Phoenix Suns), Onyeka Okongwu (2020 NBA Draft Prospect), Cole Anthony (2020 NBA Draft Prospect), and Joc Pederson (Los Angeles Dodgers).
More special guests are yet to be announced and the series will also be hosting a special HyperX Showdown episode, which will feature an all-female event and an NBA Rookie Challenge. By the end of the eight weeks of gaming events, the athlete who HyperX considers the best will be named as its brand ambassador. The online event will also be collaborating with Excel Sports Management that will procure talent and provide guidance.
