    All hail Blazer5Gaming, champs of the 2KLeague's mid-season tournament, and the league's unquestioned top team.

    Just thought I'd refresh on Blazer5Gaming's status.

    Here's an article listing the biggest questions heading into the second half of the season, starting with "Will Blazer5Gaming finish undefeated?" Valid question

    Here's one listing the top 10 names in the MVP race, which includes half of the B5 squad, including our C and PG at the top 2 spots.

    And here's the top half of the standings, showing the only 6 teams that are above .500, with (of course) Portland at the top

    With Blazer5 still at the top of the standings, and our center at the top of the MVP race, looks like the league has decided to give our superstar a little more exposure.

    watched a little bit of this on twitch the other day.
    The 'play by play announcers' if you can even call them that. Were saying how good of a chance NYKG had of knocking off Blazer5.
    I just laughed and turned it off as I know nothing about this stuff.

    I didn't follow this super closely. Do they draft a brand new team each year? If so, I think that is lame. It would be much better to make slight changes in the off-season like in real life but have your foundation guys back every year.

    Teams were able to protect two of their 6 players for the expansion draft. Then they could use as many as two of their four draft picks to retain other players they wanted to keep.

    Blazer5Gaming protected their PG and C, then lost their PF in the expansion draft. They then traded their first round pick for the rights to a player from Milwaukee, and spent their third round pick to retain their SF.

    Some teams only had one player carried over from last year, some as many as four.

    I see, that makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation! How many new teams were added?

    There were four expansion teams--Atlanta, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Minnesota. Atlanta was the one who took Portland's PF in the expansion draft.

    Went back and checked on last night's draft, and saw that with their second pick, Blazer5gaming took one of the guys they hadn't retained from last year. So all in all, they have 4 holdovers from the 6 players on last year's team...probably the most continuity of any squad. This after a strong regular season, but an early exit from the playoffs.

    Sound familiar?
