Galloping Ghost Arcade
Galloping Ghost Arcade (GGA, for short), home to many well-known MK9 players, is proud to announce its new weekly Injustice: Gods Among Us tournament: "Ghost Battle Series". In the same vein as Wednesday Nights Fights, Next Level Battle Circuit and the Atlanta Kombat Arena, this will be a weekly double elimination tournament, occurring every Thursday night.
The intentions we have for starting this new series:
1) Improve the level of local Injustice: Gods Among Us competition, while showcasing the talent of our players to the nation.2) Encourage more nearby players to make the trek out to Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL and participate in our events. We love having "new blood" come out and welcome anyone in the area to come out and play.
Even if you have never been to a tournament before, coming out to an event like this is a great way to get your feet wet in the competitive scene for a low cost (5.00 venue fee) and test your skills in smaller scale event before heading to a Major tournament like UFGT (where venue and tournament fees can reach 40-50 easily). Players of every skill level will be in attendance; don't feel like you have to be great (or even good) to participate. Although these are technically competitions, these weeklies are also to assess your level of gameplay, improve your skills if you want to (and if you don't, that's fine) and meet others of similar interests.
Their has been a recent resurgence in the Chicago area Injustice scene, with great players like @GGA Slips, @GGA 16 Bit and @GGA pimpimjim often using characters not commonly seen in tournament like Scorpion, Catwoman and Hawk Girl; surely a "breath" of fresh air from the normal characters that dominate the brackets at most tournaments.

See everyone at the arcade tonight! We will be testing running the tournament on Xbox, if everyone is equipped to do so. Please also bring PS3 sticks/pads/converters so we are prepared to run it on PS3 if we don't have enough setups to run on Xbox. If you have a patched Xbox with DLC, please bring it if you can along with an Injustice disc!
