Week 7 Preview - NBA 2K League

Week 7 Preview

BAY AREA – INDY CONNECTION: When Warriors Gaming Squad takes on Pacers Gaming on Wednesday, May 29 at 10 p.m. ET, Indianapolis-native Xavier “Type” Vescovi (left), currently averaging a double-double for the season (11.9 ppg, 11.7 rpg), will play against his hometown team. In addition, Warriors Gaming Squad’s Chiquita “Chiquita” Evans is a WNBA fan and most admires Indiana basketball legend Tamika Catchings for her fighting spirit and ability to overcome adversity.

THE STREAKS COME OUT AT NIGHT: Week 7 will feature three teams on impressive winning streaks. Mavs Gaming, currently 9-0 with the NBA 2K League record for longest winning streak to start the regular season, will look to reach 11-0 with two games on Friday, May 31 – @ Kings Guard Gaming, 7 p.m. ET and @ 76ers GC at 10 p.m. ET. Currently on an
eight-game winning streak, Blazer5 Gaming will visit Pacers Gaming on Thursday, May 30 at 8 p.m. ET and Kings Guard Gaming on Friday, May 31 at 9 p.m. ET. Waseem “BallLikeSeem” Talbert (left) and Kings Guard Gaming will put their six-game winning streak on the line with two games on Friday against Mavs Gaming and Blazer5 Gaming. This guarantees at least one team’s streak will end in Week 7.

THE ARTISTS AMONG US: The aspiring artists of the NBA 2K League, T-Wolves Gaming’s Brian “NachoTraynor” Traynor (left) and Magic Gaming’s Cameron “KingCamRoyalty” Ford, were profiled on the latest episode of “NBA 2K League: Locked In powered by AT&T,” the league’s content series that goes behind the scenes into the lives of NBA 2K League players off the virtual court. With a degree in fine arts and a concentration in painting, NachoTraynor visits New York City museums like The Guggenheim to mentally prepare for NBA 2K League competition, while KingCamRoyalty visits his local music studio to fulfill his rap aspirations.
