A couple weeks ago WCG Ultimate Gamer held a casting call in Atlanta, GA to find the best gamers in the area for the 2nd season of the reality show. We caught up with some of the gamers who came out to compete and the producers of the show.

WCG Ultimate Gamer will return for a second season of eight episodes beginning in August on Syfy. WCG Ultimate Gamer pits the top video game players in the US against each other to test their skills in a range of video game and real-life challenges while seeing if they can survive living together as housemates. Only one gamer will emerge victorious to claim the title of Ultimate Gamer.

Unlike last year in the 2nd season fans can vote for the final cast member in an online contest starting Today.

Each of the one-hour TV episodes will focus on in-game and real-life challenges for the dozen rivals living together in Los Angeles, while they compete for $100,000 in cash, an ultimate Samsung Electronics prize package, the chance to become the face of the WCG – representing the organization at events around the world – and bragging rights as the best all-around gamer.

This season, the final contestants will face off 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.
