NBA2K League Draft

[dnf0027]

Do you find any of this odd?

Whats odd about it? People are playing videos game competively and for $$$ instead for fun. Its a great thing

As ridiculous as it sounds, this is a brilliant move by the NBA. Esports, yes that’s a no actual thing, is blowing up. Revenue of 800M globally and expected to double in less than 24 months. The growth is outlandish compared to the entertainment industry as a whole. I believe there were over 11 billion esports videos streamed in 2017, with the majority coming from China and Japan, and that figure is expected to rise significantly as North America figures explode. People even pay for this, online or to go to live events. I believe Staples sold out an event recently and sold out events are common in Asia.

This is why Amazon paid over a billion for Twitch, Facebook, Google and others are introducing esports platforms, Sky is close to a huge deal on an esports platform and Vegas has two arenas dedicated to esports set to open soon.

As absurd as this all sounds, it’s the truth.

Thank you, someone gets it.

And the NBA gets it...they are by far the best running busniess out of the major sports.

It was odd to see these kids dressed up in suits walking on stage to meet the commish like they had actually made the NBA or something. It was like a bad NBA Draft dream full of Napoleon Dynamites.

hey you can hate on them if you want... I give them props, those kids just made a lot of money playing nba2k by getting drafted with a chance to make hundred of thousands if they go far in the league.

Well, to be fair, their salary is 35K which is fine for playing video games but if that's their income, uh, that's not a lot of money.

But more interesting to me is the hundreds of thousands of dollars comment? How is that? What do you mean go far in the league? I don't know shit about this hence why I'm trying to understand.

35k for 6mo is decent for these kids...over 5k a month to be put in a paid for, brand new penthouse with your teammates sounds pretty good to me.


This season will feature a $1 million dollar prize pool that will be spread out over the season and playoffs. The NBA 2K League will have a similar format to professional sports leagues. There will be head-to-head regular season matchups and a bracketed playoff system that will lead up to a championship matchup. In addition, there will also be some in-season tournaments.

And people sit and watch other grown men play video games? This is insane.

1M prize pool plus thier base salary and paid rent ect. Some of these kids will prob make 100k or more in 6 months.
