\u201cFrom the outset of our partnership, we\u2019ve been focused on celebrating those who define their own paths\u201d said Simon Callan, Head of Partnerships, Samsung Mobile. \u201cIn season one we elevated fan experiences powered by Samsung Galaxy<\/a> and helped the players enhance their own performance through our ecosystem of products. Season two represents an even bigger opportunity to continue to push the boundaries of what\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
