The NBA 2K League is turning 21, announcing a quartet of expansion teams for the league who will be competing in season two. Joining the roster of current squads will be the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves, bringing the total number of NBA 2K League teams from 17 to 21.

 “Welcoming these four world-class organizations and their passionate fanbases to the NBA 2K League is an exciting moment not only for the league, but for the entire 2K community,” said NBA 2K League Managing Director Brendan Donohue.  “From their innovative spirit to their global reach, we know each of these teams will be a tremendous addition, and we are thrilled that this growth offers the opportunity for new players, coaches and support staff to join the league.”

Meanwhile, after its inaugural regular season, the NBA 2K League is now gearing up for its first-ever playoffs, unveiling the official playoffs bracket with all games set to be carried on Twitch. The action tips off on Friday at 6p with a quartet of single-elimination quarterfinal matchups that will pair top seed Blazers Gaming against 8 seed Kicks Gaming, along with Pistons GT/Heat Check Gaming, Raptors Uprising GC/Cavs Legion GC and 76ers GC/Wizards District Gaming.

ACTIVATION


Organizers for Valve’s The International 2018 reportedly called a meeting with Dota 2 teams to inform them that they should no longer accept sponsorships from gambling websites and reiterated the company’s anti-gambling policy, which prohibits teams and players from associating with high volume CS:GO gamblers.
 
FNATIC will be pulling double duty at The International this year, announcing that – in addition to playing in the tournament – the team will also manage and run the OFFLANE SHOP – a merchandising pop-up where DOTA fans can purchase merchandise from three DOTA teams, including a selection of Fnatic Team jerseys and Fnatic GEAR peripheral in addition to Evil Geniuses and OG team merch and peripherals. “For an esports fan going to an event like The International is a highpoint of the whole year,” said Erik Londre, head of event Fnatic. “We always strive to go the extra mile and make already amazing experiences like that even better.  When we saw that there was nowhere to for the fans to buy the jerseys of their favorite teams on site at TI we felt we needed to change that.”

Meanwhile, Invictus Gaming is heading to The International 8 with a new sponsor in tow, posting about a new deal with Betway. Activation will include content creation as well as serving as a jersey sponsor throughout The International 8 and the 2018-2019 season.

CONSUMER SNAPSHOT

This week FanAI presents an interesting case of the impact of long term sponsorships have of the social followings of brands. FanAI found that a staggering 91.4% of paysafecard’s social followers are esports fans. In the quest to discover why, FanAI found that 83.3% of these followers were shared with ESL. paysafecard began sponsoring select ESL events in mid 2015 and eventually expanded to sponsoring all global ESL events in 2018. In contrast, the next highest esports brand’s follower overlap with paysafecard is only 19.7%. This suggests that the ongoing, 3+ year long partnership has had a significant effect on brand awareness and social ROI for paysafecard.

SPOTLIGHT – Mike LaBelle

The New York Red Bulls made headlines at the opening of 2018 when the team brought in Mike LaBelle as its eMLS athlete. Bringing with him an audience of hundreds of thousands of followers from his video content, LaBelle has quickly emerged as a key face in the rise of eMLS. Cynopsis asked him about joining the team and his secrets to creating content. For the full interview, visit CynopsisEsports.com.
 
LaBelle on recruited by the Red Bulls: The first time I met the RBNY staff was in NYC for a FIFA event at the Microsoft Flagship Store on 5th avenue. I hosted a tournament that included a 2v2 with Tyler Adams and Derrick Etienne Jr playing with the finalists of the event. During this same trip, I chose to make a visit to the stadium to get an idea of work climate and also meet with additional RBNY employees.
 
This was the beginning of our relationship. We discussed goals, soccer, and we aligned well on a shared interest with content creation. The process of joining the Red Bull’s family going forward included phone calls, emails, and also contractual details as to becoming a Red Bull athlete.  The club was also kind of enough to fly out my mother and I as well to attend a Playoff game in 2017.
 
On his current schedule: My schedule is BUSY! I’m streaming 20+ times per month, creating at least another 15+ videos, and updating social handles on the daily. I don’t have standard hours at Red Bull Arena, but I’m creating content each week.
  • RBNY Activations!
  • Going to the Matches! (Instagram Takeovers)
  • Filming content with the players, including collabs with other influencers
  • I’ve done media with Bleacher Report, Barstool, Copa90, Fortune Magazine, Cooligans, NY Post, Cheddar on Wallstreet, Microsoft, etc… I almost work as a liaison bridging the gap between gaming and soccer to help create this fluid relationship.
  • Represent RBNY at all competitive FIFA events and also in appearances
On keys to building audiences through content:
  • Be engaging with your audience. As you put out content, make sure to REPLY… LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE! The people are always right. Don’t ignore their feedback.
  • Understanding Trends
  • Learning algorithms
  • Create a posting schedule. Your content will become people’s TV shows!
  • Improve your content! People love to see improvement with content. It’s like your way of showing them YOU CARE. Upgrade camera, improve editing, put out additional content.
