Week 5 Results NBA 2K23 (Rhealzzz): CSI L, Stockton University (Jordan D.) W (Forfeit)
        Current Record: 2-3 | Tied for 20th
Game(s) Notes: Jared Williams (SBCxSmoke) suffered his third straight loss of the season dropping to 2-3 in NBA 2K23 as he was defeated by Anthony F. of Albany University by forfeit. Healey (Rhealzzz) took a forfeit loss as well and fell to 2-3 in the ECAC as he is yet to play an official match. In Williams (SBCxSmoke) Madden 23 matchup, he lost game one as the 49ers, 28-7 against the Chargers whom Evan M. of West Virginia University at Potomac State College, chose first. Down 1-0 in the series, Williams (SBCxSmoke) decided to go with the Buffalo Bills for the second game, as Evan M. of West Virginia University at Potomac State College went with the Green Bay Packers, who would then go ahead to pick up his second victory of the match winning 40-30 in game two. Therefore, there would be no decisive game three that would take place as a result, and Evan M. of West Virginia University at Potomac State College caught a break from his rival Williams (SBCxSmoke) after he tried to be creative. Expect a much more detailed game plan next week for Williams as he will look to maintain his good play and keep his record above .500.
Next Match (11/01/22 & 11/03/22): CSI NBA 2K23 (Ryan) vs CSI NBA 2K23 (Jared) | CSI NBA 2K23 (Jared) vs CSI NBA 2K23 (Ryan) | CSI Madden 23 (Jared) vs. TBA – Check Esports Schedule for an update
