Marking the 1-year anniversary of Injustice tournaments, Virginia's Civil War VI denotes a milestone in Injustice tournament history and a new chapter for the game. While the story of last year's tournament was the disparity in pre-tournament experience against a still-developing field of competition, the story this year was a string of unlikely upsets and unexpected outcomes that made short work of many viewers' predictions.
Two of the major stories heading into Top 8 were Oxygen's rampaging Lobo and Insaynne's newly improved Aquaman. Oxygen, who is contantly varying his offense and making good use of all of Lobo's tools, had a full head of steam and nearly dispatched Sonic Fox's batgirl in an amazing tit-for-tat match (one of the highlights of the day) before being handily defeated by Jupter's patient punishes and intelligent reads in the Losers' Bracket. Insaynee, fresh off defeating fellow Aquaman Tom Brady before, carefully navigated and picked apart RelaxedState's tricky offense with Zod (and then again with Cyborg) before falling prey to Orochi's knowledgeble arsenal of tricks.
Jupiter, having been knocked to losers by Astronout's surpring Catwoman the day before, tore a hole through the losers' bracket, looking completely undaunted as he made short work of both Orochi and Astronout. Dropping only a single game on his way to a Grand Finals reset, he looked to have Sonic figured out from the get-go. And barnstorming to an extremely convincing finish, Jupiter solidified his victory with authority as he notched his 2nd significant Injustice tournament win.
In retrospect, this victory may be the beginning of creating a strong statement about Martian Manhunter moving forward -- and it further extends the 8 on the Break core crew's list of tournament wins (EVO, TFC, Summer Jam, Apex, Winter Brawl, Civil War). Congratulations to Jupiter for showing a deft hand and some undeniably smart gameplay on his way to topping the bracket.
