Raptors Uprising GC’s unbeaten esports season continued Thursday as Toronto swept its best-of-three series against Bucks Gaming to reach the semifinals of the NBA 2K League’s $160,000 (U.S.) Tipoff tournament.
The Raptors will play Gen.G Tigers on Friday in a battle of unbeaten teams at the tournament. The expansion Shanghai squad, the lone member of the 23-team league from outside of North America although it plays out of Los Angeles, defeated Cavs Legion GC to make the final four.
Kings Guard Gaming will face Jazz Gaming in the other semifinal.
Star point guard Kenneth (Kenny Got Work) Hailey scored 31 points and added nine assists to lead Toronto to a 84-64 victory over the Bucks in Game 1 as four Raptors finished in double figures.
