HAWKS TALON GC TO CONTINUE REMOTE GAMEPLAY AS PART OF 2020 SEASON
Club to Play in Six Games Throughout Next Four Weeks of Regular Season
The NBA 2K League today announced the remainder of the 2020 regular season which includes an extension of remote gameplay. Hawks Talon Gaming Club, the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks, will return to the regular season on Monday, June 29 with a best-of-three series against Warriors Gaming Squad, the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the Golden State Warriors. Throughout the next four weeks, Hawks Talon will compete in six different matchups. Currently, Hawks Talon sits at a 3-3 record after the first six weeks of remote gameplay.
“We are excited to return to the regular season,” said Hawks Talon GC Head Coach Wesley Acuff. “Each of these next matchups are crucial for us as we move forward during this unprecedented time.”
Each remote match will continue to be played in a best-of-three format, which will allow the NBA 2K League broadcast to switch between games in real-time and give fans more opportunities to experience the league’s most exciting moments. Each of these three-game-series victory will represent one regular-season win, and each three-game-series loss will represent one regular-season loss.
