The NBA 2K League laid out its competition format for its inaugural season, which will run for 17 weeks from May to August. Play begins on May 1, comprising 12 weeks of matchups and three weeks of tournaments and all 17 teams will compete in a minimum of 19 games, including 14 regular-season games and three additional tournaments. Tournament results will not count toward a team’s 14-game regular-season record, but will serve as a tiebreaker for the postseason. Playoff seeding will be determined by regular-season standings. Weekly matchups will take place on Fridays and Saturdays. The tip-off tournament will feature pool play, with four groups competing over five days. The top two teams in each group will advance to the single-elimination playoff rounds with a prize pool of $100,000. Seeding for the other two in-season tournaments will be determined by a team’s record during the four weeks of regular-season games that precede each tournament and include a play-in game between the 16and 17seeds. The playoffs will begin on Aug. 17 and run for two weeks with the seven teams with the best regular-season records and the winner of the final tournament guaranteed playoff spots. ELEAGUE staple Richard Lewis announced his departure from the organization following a two-year run as desk host. He posted that he had decided to pursue additional opportunities in the esports industry that extend beyond full-time hosting. “I'm proud of what we achieved at ELEAGUE and I’ve really enjoyed working with the dedicated people at Turner and IMG,” he wrote. “I hope I get to come back and work with them in future. For now though, it's time for a change. I will elaborate more on what comes next in the not too distant future but for now I hope everyone will join me in continuing to support Eleague as it helps propel esports into the mainstream. See you all soon.” Logitech G inked a deal to become the official partner of Super League Gaming. The deal will include sponsorship of SLG’s Minecraft City Champs, League of Legends City Champs, and after school programs across the country. “We’ve been so impressed with Super League’s work to create respectful gaming environments,” said Ujesh Desai, VP and GM of Logitech Gaming. “It’s vital to the industry, and we couldn’t be happier with this partnership. We both have a common goal of supporting creativity and inclusion among gamers and esports pros, and we’re dedicated to turning the tide and removing toxicity from gaming.”
