The District Gaming Classic is a 32-team 5-on-5 NBA 2K20 tournament (16 teams from PlayStation and 16 from Xbox) where one player from each console-winning squad will be selected by Wizards District Gaming players and staff to be automatically entered into the Season 3 NBA 2K League draft pool. Not only that, both winning teams will leave the District with $2500.

The preliminary rounds of each tournament will be online and hosted by our friends at Battlefy on October 19 and 20.
