The Virginia/Maryland area is home to a beloved and very dedicated group of fighters, including the PTH crew, and veteran MK9/I:GAU player and event organizer Blackula. Last weekend, on June 1st, they held the second tournament in a new bi-monthly series of locals entitled "Top of the Food Chain". With the first event being held recently and drawing 14 Injustice players, the numbers sprung up to 37 for this edition of the tournament, which was more than any other game (including UMvC3 and Street Fighter: AE).

The event featured some great gameplay from a number of recognizeable tournament faces, including PTH| astronout, Lulzlou, Relaxedstate, former MK9 UFGT champ Kevo Da Man and Blackula himself, who was both playing and hosting the event.



When the smoke cleared, Blackula and his Green Lantern blazed through the bracket and took home the top placing -- only dropping one game in the entire tournament! Here are the full results:

1. Blackula - Green Lantern

Awesome, Blackula. Props dude. Way to keep up the trend of Tekken players owning in Injustice hahaha
Well Vegeta won Tekken I think. And then got beat by me and Kevo to go 0-2 :p lol. He was a really nice guy, and I think he was still in tekken mode. I am sure he will be a force to be reckoned with once he puts in some time to Injustice.

Great tournament though. Shoutouts to my PTH boys and good stuff to Blackula!
 

Blackula

Congrats blackula! Hope to see you at EVO!

Already registered. I will be getting my plane ticket as soon as this loan money gets deposited into my account.

Vegeta is still trying to figure out what he wants to do with Raven. He's also very interested in Batgirl and Scorpion since he was a Scorpion main in MK.

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
Kevo's Revenge. I love it.
The dude is hype wherever he goes now.
I hope he takes Kabal and tears people to shreds. Biggity Bam.

GO BLACKULA LANTERN GO :D
 

Blackula

Blackula how did you guys let kevo win?

i blame Lulzlou

And where was xKhaoTik when u need him?

Don't be mad after I tell you this.

I was coming from Winners and he was coming from Losers. I went up 2-0 and so close to taking the tourney. He then won 3 straight to reset the bracket and then won 3 straight again to win the tourney. And no, he didn't win with Kabal.
