Why would you root for them then?

I personally hope all these teams lose and no one wins just because of how stupid the qualifications were to make it this far, it took no actual basketball knowledge whatsoever.

To dominate in game like 2K16 against human opponents and i am talking about modes like MyPark, Pro-Am or just online head to heads you need ZERO basketball knowledge or skill. You only need to exploit certain areas of game, with that being said it's stupid thing to even organize eSports championship for such game.

Totally different thing is eSports tournaments in counter strike or starcraft where you actually need to think, have certain tactics and good reflexes (CS) and even though i don't play those games, tournaments makes sense because Koreans are really into that putting so much effort into strategy and execution of the same.

For this 2K sports championship is really a 'who can cheese better contest'.
When 2K becomes skill-based basketball game then we can talk about eSports championships & tournaments but until then is just who can cheese better and more successful.

So what, if people can create dozens of threads to ask for headbands, accessory colors & correct jersey collars i can ask for better gameplay.

Those threads don't exist though.

It's spamming. It's not feedback at all, just paragraph after paragraph about how you feel about the game. There's a wishlist threads even threads at touch on specific things. You don't have to invade every thread with that same spiel.

Cool that you can stream, but the whole thing still stinks.

I'd rather have smaller prizes with more accessibility to those of us that aren't bed-ridden 2k players to feel like we at least had a shot at something.

I'll be watching just to see what these players play like.

Anyone else wonder if these 2k patches were geared to help certain teams win over others? There could be a whole conspiracy goin down

One could easily argue that cheesing is a skill, even if it is one that should be minimized
