The Regular Season Means Nothing. Just Ask Goon Squad.
In one of the most shocking and unforgettable playoff moments in 2K Comp League history, Goon Squad, a team that limped into the postseason with a 1-10 record, stunned the community by sweeping the formidable Meat Mafia 2-0 in their opening round matchup of the Season 6 Playoffs. Meat Mafia was 8-3 in the regular season and went into this series as the favorite to win.
Let that sink in—1 win, 10 losses, and now 1 series win away from the Finals.
Goon Squad’s story isn’t just an underdog tale—it’s a message to every team in the league: “Just make the playoffs—and anything is possible.” Thanks to the 10-game minimum rule for postseason eligibility, Goon Squad slid into the bracket as the lowest seed. Many wrote them off. Few gave them a chance.
But that’s exactly when legends rise…There’s a reason that this team has the most wins in 2kcompleague history and in this series they showed their opponents why.
With future Hall of Famer JT5_Era sidelined for this series, Goon Squad turned to WuKong-_-Kobe—a name that may soon be etched into league folklore. The fill-in guard stepped up with poised decision-making, clutch shot-making, and relentless defense. He wasn’t just a substitute—he was the spark.
Meat Mafia, a team that had shown flashes of dominance throughout the season, couldn’t solve the sudden resurgence of a Goon Squad team playing with nothing to lose. Every quarter felt like a statement. Every possession, a reminder of Goon Squad’s legacy. Not to mention some crucial missed shots by Meat Mafia down the stretch.
Speaking of legacy—this performance is exactly why Goon Squad still holds the all-time wins record at 2kCompLeague.com. Even in their darkest seasons, they find a way to shine when it matters most.
This sweep is more than an upset—it’s a warning shot. Goon Squad has awakened, and their playoff run is alive and dangerous.
Up next? A potential showdown that could rewrite even more league history.
