I appreciate all the outreach and support from friends and colleagues. Just as a personal update, I have been asked to stay on and help build out this next chapter of the NBA 2K League and I am excited at the prospect of creating something special with the NBA and Take-Two.

The 2KL is sponsoring the

Championship in Boston because we felt the competitive 2K community deserved an in-person event in NBA2K24. We also made the decision to layer the 2KL combine on top and forgo a remote component. Can’t wait to see everyone this weekend!
The first ever in person NBA 2KL Combine will be taking place this weekend alongside the

Open bracket live events should be a key component of every Esports league. Shout out to Riot, Pej and everyone at EE who is working on this <33
Tft Vegas open has been great, it really feels like Riot understood what makes open bracket tournaments special and somehow made a 8 player FFA game work with it. The vibe of the event is so cool.
Also... I did not think so many people into TFT/league would know who I am LOL
