Blue Blurs for Life!
Last night, Ultra Arcade dedicated their next Killer Instinct tournament to the memory of Terrance "PushaTee88" Moore who passed from this world last Thursday. His hype lives on through the energy brought about by the competitors who gathered at San Antonio. This tournament would see the rise of the ice alien and spider woman despite the sudden influx in Maya players. Although Halite was but an inch away from ensuring his path to Grand Finals, Dig Bickerson's switch to his former main character (Sadira) proved instrumental in not only thwarting his opponent's ambitions but also winning the entire tournament!

Congratulations to Dig Bickerson for taking the event after such an impressive recovery in Winner's Finals where he was initially down 2-0. Although Halite was beginning to make adjustments to counter Dig's gameplay, they came far too late into the set to sway Dig's domination. And of course, every other match that came before it had many hearts pounding and eyes widening to the point where they almost departed their sockets.

If you are a Killer Instinct player and you reside within the San Antonio scene, you are encouraged to check out this thread so as to learn how to attend Ultra Arcade's locals. Don't forget about Kombo Klash coming up this December, too!

See you next Friday for the next installation of KILLER FRIDAYS.
