NBA 2K Esports Teams Announced For League's First Season
The NBA and 2K have announced the esports teams participating in the NBA 2K esports league's inaugural 2018 season.
Earlier this year the league announced that it was starting an esports league using the NBA 2K video game franchise, with eventual plans for all 30 NBA teams to participate with their own five-person team.
Although more details regarding the league are still to come, the Philadelphia 76ers have naturally announced that its team will draw from Team Dignitas – an esports franchise it purchased last year – which already fields six esports teams.
Our Take
I'll be curious how the NBA teams themselves highlight their esports teams, whether at home games at the arena or even during telecasts of NBA games.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
