Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius continues to introduce the members of its esports team, Bora Esports, which will represent the club and Lithuania in NBA2K25 tournaments both locally and across Europe. The club selected this team following a tryouts held in November.
Geraldas "lGerka" Miglinas, a power forward from Alytus, discovered success in the NBA2K esports world unexpectedly after noticing FIBA-supported esports tournaments.
"I came across them completely by accident. Not just FIBA-organized events, but various tournaments in Europe and Lithuania. I started exploring how it works and why. Naturally, I wanted to try myself in this discipline. I managed to join a team led by Lukas, and everything took off from there," G. Miglinas recalled about his path to joining Bora Esports.
For "lGerka," the highlight of his esports career was making it to the top two teams in the Wolves Twinsbet tryouts and subsequently joining the team. He considers this his best moment in recent times.
Elvinas "IIElv1s_2k" Sireikis, the team’s shooting guard from Klaipėda, has experienced many standout moments in his career. Having fallen in love with the NBA2K series in 2012, Elvinas says his service in the Lithuanian Naval Forces strengthened his determination and discipline.
"I had been waiting for NBA 2K esports in Lithuania for a long time. As soon as I heard about the Wolves Twinsbet tournament, I told my current teammate that I was eager to represent their team and join the tryouts. I am incredibly grateful to the team for their trust and the opportunity," E. Sireikis said.
The team's sixth player is Dominykas "playb0i-_Flxshy" Vaitekūnas from Kaunas, who got into the NBA2K series in 2016. His skills and passion for the game accelerated during the lockdown when he had significantly more time to improve.
"The lockdown was a great time to dive deeper into NBA2K. I had plenty of time to play and developed a strong love for the series. During that period, when everything stopped and the world came to a halt, the game became my escape, a way to spend time with friends and improve," D. Vaitekūnas shared his story.
The Wolves Twinsbet aims to achieve victories on both the local and international esports stage while promoting inclusivity across different social groups. One of their key projects involves the integration of the hearing-impaired community through the EuroLeague's "ONE Team" initiative. The goal is to show that virtual basketball can bridge diverse communities while fostering teamwork and communication skills.
The Wolves Twinsbet team actively encourages young people to join their esports projects, deepen their knowledge, and build their future in this rapidly growing field.
Lithuanian talents in NBA2K25 not only represent their country but also inspire younger generations, enhancing their communication and teamwork abilities.
