An eventful home opener saw Warriors Gaming Squad take home a 79-68 victory by way of forfeit. After pushing the game into overtime, Bucks Gaming players quit out of the match, resulting in a ten-point forfeit win for WGS. An extra point was subsequently added for the use of an added timeout by Bucks Gaming after the game was reset midway through the second quarter.
