Whether you’re riding high on the eSports wave or can’t tell the difference between an Xbox and the X-Men, professional gaming is coming to Portland fast. The inaugural draft for the NBA and Take-Two Interactive-backed professional NBA 2K League took place last Wednesday and Portland established their new franchise selecting 6th overall.
Eder Campuzano of The Oregonian gave a rundown of Blazer5 Gaming’s selections, broke down the basic structure of the league, highlighted the prize pool and more.
The Blazers used their sixth overall pick to choose Los Angeles native Dayne Downey, who goes by “OneWildWalnut” online.
