EuroCup Qualifiers: Huge surprises included

Already in the very early stage in the qualifiers, huge upsets were happening!

Ex-Reallife Euroleague Pro at Crvena Zvezda, Hassan Martin, got defeated from newcomer Daniel Dimitrov from Bulgaria in a close matchup (51-54), which sends Hassan Martin into the 3rd level of European 2K Basketball in the "Overime 3. League".

Also a huge upset has been Martin Ivanov, also from Bulgaria, who managed to overcome Dayan Arozarena's fast pace basketball and forced him into long pass turnovers to win a 44-42 drama and send last year's top 32 participants into the 3. level league.

Turkish gamer Metin Şehitler was also overthrown by an Bulgarian outsider and newcome in another drama (40-42).

All those three Bulgarian newcomers keep their hopes alive as two more rounds have to be passed to book the Virtual EuroCup license in season I 2K24.
