General info

LPL, in conjunction with Maori Television and 2K, are on the hunt for New Zealand’s best NBA 2K18 players to earn their right to be called the 1on1 NZ Champion!



Players go head-to-head to find the top sixteen players in New Zealand. Sixteen kiwis – eight from each island – will play live over eight weeks culminating in the North Island Conference champ meeting the South Island Conference champ. The final will be played across a best-of-five format in NBA 2K18!

The tournament boasts an impressive prize pool of $15,000; including cash prizes and a trip for two to the USA to attend an NBA basketball game.

Players are flown to Auckland each week to compete in best of three playoffs. The grand final will be contested on Sunday 30th September at a live best of five event in Auckland, with special guests, fan engagements and a live audience.

WATCH LIVE Sunday 2:30pm NZT / 12:30pm AEST (7:30pm Saturday PDT) on Maori Television and Twitch.
