Aussie Shocks NBA 2K League

Friday, May 26, 2023

Australian NBL Oz Gaming superstar Harry ‘HarryVZN’ Spierings has made a huge first impression in his NBA 2K League debut.

HarryVZN shocked the league in his opening two games of 5v5 play, after many underestimated the Australian’s talent heading into the campaign.

NBL have scored themselves a 2-0 record to start the 5v5 season, with HarryVZN leading them to victories over Heat Check Gaming and 76ers GC.
