Having advanced from a brutally tough group in Friday’s action, the Tip-Off Tournament was already assured to be a positive experience for Bucks Gaming, but that won’t have eased the disappointment that accompanied Saturday’s loss to Heat Check Gaming.
Matched up against the Miami affiliate, who had earned their spot in the knockout rounds via wildcard status as the tournament’s best runner-up, Bucks Gaming found themselves plagued by some of the same issues that had been evident in group play, but without all of the positives from Friday to balance things out.
That’s not to suggest that the game necessarily started all that poorly for the Bucks, though.
