Simply put, THE TURN powered by AT&T was incredible. Here are a few extras you may have missed about the tournament over the weekend:

WEEKEND WARRIORS

Warriors Gaming Squad won the NBA 2K League’s second tournament of the season – THE TURN powered by AT&T – which took place at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas at Luxor Hotel and Casino. With their victory, Warriors Gaming Squad took home more than half of the $180,000 prize pool and THE TURN trophy. 2018 fourth-round pick and Indianapolis-native Xavier “Type” Vescovi (pictured below) was named tournament MVP, averaging 13.3 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.

NOT JUST VIRTUAL BALLERS

Taking advantage of an open gym, several NBA 2K League players and content creators showcased their skills on the hardwood. Participating players include Heat Check Gaming’s Lytel “Lotty” Martin, Blazer5 Gaming’s Dayne “OneWildWalnut” Downey, Kings Guard Gaming’s Waseem “BallLikeSeem” Talbert, and Nets GC’s Joel “Lavish” Lazu.
