Road To Legends vs KMT NBA 2k Comp Games INTENSE PLAYOFFS SERIES GREAT GUARD PLAY

NBA’s new professional esports league starts in May and will run until August. Featuring 17 franchises - including the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers - the search has been on to find the world’s top NBA 2K players.
In January the qualifying process started before the second stage of try-outs were held last month. A total of 102 players will now go forward to the NBA 2K League draft day on 4 April in The Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York.

NBA 2K League managing director Brendan Donohue said: “The NBA 2K League Draft is going to be incredible as we watch dreams become reality for our players.

“We cannot wait to introduce the world to the first-ever NBA 2K League professionals and, most importantly, we are eager for our players to meet their teams and team-mates for the first time. This will be a milestone moment for our league.”

After the conclusion of the trials and combine, the top 102 gamers were being contacted by the league offering them a spot for the 2018 season. According to the NBA 2K League website, all players have to successfully complete a background check and meet all other eligibility requirements.
If a player chooses not to accept the league’s offer, does not pass the background check, or does not meet all other eligibility requirements, the league will make an offer to another eligible candidate from the top 250.

How the NBA 2K League draft works
According to an NBA statement, here’s how the draft works:   
The team with the first overall pick (Mavs Gaming) will have the last pick of the second round, the first pick of the third round and so on. The team with the 17th and last pick of the first round will have the first pick of the second round and the last pick of the third round. 
the 102 players available in the draft will have been selected by the league following an extensive tryout process that began in January.
they’ll train every day to prepare for the NBA 2K League’s first season, in which they’ll compete for their share of a $1 million prize pool.
Silver said he expects that all 30 NBA franchises will field esports teams by the third year of the gaming league — another sign that the NBA and Take-Two are in this for the long haul. But that’s a long way off.

The rubber will meet the road when regular-season competition in the NBA 2K League begins.

NBA 2K eLeague, centered around Take-Two's "NBA 2K" franchise, will launch in 2018 and represents the gamemaker's first major push into the world of competitive gaming. Teams in the league will be operated by each of the NBA's 30 franchises and will follow a tournament format similar to the NBA — meaning a regular season, a bracketed playoff, then a championship match.

"We believe we have a unique opportunity to develop something truly special for our fans and the young and growing eSports community," said Silver.
The NBA 2K League Qualifier will take place in January and will be the first step towards getting an invitation to our second stage of tryouts in February. The first stage of qualifying for the NBA 2K League will take place from January 1-31, 2018. The January qualifying stage is open to anyone around the world who has a copy of NBA 2K18 (PlayStation 4 or Xbox One) and is 18 or older. Players can compete as a walk-on, part of a team or a combination of both. After that, all players who won 50 games during January’s NBA 2K League Qualifier will move on to the combine. The NBA 2K League Combine is the second phase of qualifying for the NBA 2K League. It will run from February 2 – February 21, 2018. 
NOTE: PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are the only eligible platforms for the league. PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 are not eligible platform.
The inaugural season tips off in May 2018 and will run through August 2018. Prior to the season beginning, there will be tryouts in February and a draft in March.
Each NBA 2K League team will feature players competing as unique characters in 5v5 gameplay.
