The NBA is the first sports coalition that has developed an eSports league that will be housed under their umbrella. Which also means that any gaming pros have to follow the NBA's rules of conduct. Blizzard, you might want to take note of this. The NBA 2K League will mimic the standard NBA game schedule including draft seasons - roughly 199 games in a year. Individual franchises (such as the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors) will host teams of 6 gamers. They will be paid at least $32k for the year as the base salary, along with any prize winnings, plus insurance, retirement plans, and housing will be covered.
Best of luck to the league and the gamers!
