Blazer5 Gaming, the winningest team in NBA 2K League regular-season history, is looking to hire a head coach for the first time in team history.
After going 14-2 in the 2019 season, Blazer5 Gaming was eliminated from the playoffs in the first round for the second consecutive year, this time in a two-game sweep by Warriors Gaming Squad (eventual champions Knicks Gaming bounced the Blazers in one game in 2018). The Blazers boast a 26-4 all-time record in the regular season, five wins better than the next-best regular season team, but have not advanced past the first round of any elimination event (playoffs, tournament) since winning the 2018 Turn Tournament.
The team features back-to-back MVPs OneWildWalnut and MamaImDatMan and offers a strong partnership portfolio, including Toyota, Alienware, and jersey sponsor Biofreeze. The team protected Walnut and Mama, as well as two-year Blazer5 veteran LavishPhenom, over the offseason, and currently holds first-, second-, and fourth-round picks.
