    They've got the league broken up into 4 groups for this tournament, and one group will basically play round robin each of the next 4 days
    • Group A: Tuesday 5/1 - Pistons GT, Bucks Gaming, Kings Guard Gaming, Cavs Legion GC
    • Group B: Wednesday 5/2 - Wizards District Gaming, Jazz Gaming, Knicks Gaming, Warriors Gaming Squad
    • Group C: Thursday 5/3 - Magic Gaming, Raptors Uprising GC, Blazer5 Gaming, 76ers GC
    • Group D: Friday 5/4 - Heat Check Gaming, Mavs Gaming, Celtics Crossover Gaming, Pacers Gaming, Grizz Gaming
    Looks like they'll then have the top 2 each group face off in an 8-team playoff this weekend. Everything should be streamed on the channel in my previous post.

    Go Blazers!!

    I watched most of the 1st game yesterday and a few minutes of the other games. I'm not a gamer, don't play video games at all, but for some reason I got kinda sucked in to it, it was fairly entertaining. I was surpised how short the games are, only 6 minute quarters. I assumed they'd play a full NBA game. I'll definitely check out our Blazer5 team tomorrow.

    Thinking I might kill the second half of my morning replaying the games I couldn't watch. That's another nice part about it being on Twitch.

    Day 2 is streaming live. Definitely interesting watching day 1, seeing some of the cream rise to the top as the day moved on. "Ramo" on the Pistons squad and "Hood" on Cavs GC were pretty well incomparable. Also--if you like seeing inside play, this e-NBA might appeal to you. Posts feature a lot more significantly in 2K gaming than in real NBA these days.

    I don't think he could handle the pay cut.

    Have you watched any of it?

    Don't pre-judge.

    First off, “Pre-Judge” is what I do. It’s my thing. Second, yes, I’ve watched people play video games. I’ve watched my son play this exact game against his friends online. That’s why I posted SIGH.

    I've watched middle school kids play basketball IRL too--exactly the same as watching the NBA, right?

    Watching your son play this game against his friends online is not the same as watching professionals who have put thousands of hours in trying to be the best in the world, and who have competed against thousands of other players to prove that they are the best. You may not respect the medium, but these guys have earned their spot.

    And pre-judging being "your thing" is probably not something to boast about.

    But don't worry, old man. I'll stay off of your undoubtedly well-manicured lawn.

    I was joking about pre-judging. And are you telling me, these guys tap the X or Y button faster/better than my son? Or up or down? It’s a video game. They aren’t actually out playing the game.

    And what you do is pushing buttons on a console, rotating a dial, and marking times in a computer server. But it's a skill like any other, and these guys have honed this skill to a degree your son would be unable to compete with.
