There is a corner of esports most people have never looked at: eBasketball. Two professional players, one NBA 2K game, four short quarters, and then the next game starts a few minutes later. All day, every day.
We have been storing every result from three competitions since June: eSportsBattle NBA (NBA teams), eSportsBattle Euro (EuroLeague teams) and GG League. That's more than 43,000 games so far. Here is what they look like.
Three leagues, three different paces
| League | Games per day | Points per game (last 30 days) | Highest-scoring game |
|---|---|---|---|
| eSportsBattle NBA | about 102 | 132.2 | 229 |
| eSportsBattle Euro | about 71 | 128.0 | 213 |
| GG League | about 241 | 109.9 | 190 |
GG League plays the most games by far, more than twice as many as the other two, and scores more than 20 points less per game than eSportsBattle NBA.
Half-time tells you a lot, but not everything
The side ahead at half-time wins most of the time: 82 % in both eSportsBattle leagues and 77 % in GG League. The size of the lead is what matters, though. With a 1 or 2 point lead at the break, that side only wins about 60 % of the time. With 13 or more, it's 98 to 99 %.
The records
- Most points in one game: 229, Barmaley 116-113 The_Professor (eSportsBattle NBA, July 15).
- Most points by one player: 122, faLcOn against Kadzima (eSportsBattle NBA, October 25).
- Biggest blowout: +68, Shustryak 103-35 Riodan (eSportsBattle Euro, October 3).
- Longest winning streak: 37 in a row, AirMayo (eSportsBattle Euro, October 12). In the NBA league, Barmaley got to 32.
- Most games played: J4M with 1,267 in eSportsBattle NBA.
All of them, per league: eBasketball records
Who is in form
Over the last 30 days (minimum 15 games), the best win rates were HenCoc in eSportsBattle NBA (81 %), AirMayo in eSportsBattle Euro (83 %) and VANITY in GG League (76 %). Rankings move fast in a sport where a busy player can play dozens of games a day.
