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:
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 HawkGirl; surely a "breath" of fresh air from the normal characters that dominate the brackets at most tournaments.

We will seed all tournaments based on a cumulative results point total from the previous weeklies in the "season". The top 8 players in accumulated points will be seeded in the bracket, and everyone else will be placed randomly in the bracket. We will also be randomly changing the bracket placement of the top 4 seeds to add variety to the brackets on a week to week basis, as needed.

NEW FOR SEASON 2 - Point Bonus for Current Champs "Bounty"
Even if you don't have the means to play on Xbox, please show up and we will find a way to play your match; Whether we have you go off-stream on a PS3, have you borrow someones' stick/pad or use a converter, we would hate to have someone not show up because we are using Xbox on the stream. People have asked why the switch Xbox, and the short answer is to prepare for other tournaments (Evo events, NEC, ect).
Special "POT BONUS" for tonight - GGA Max is graciously giving some of his Kumite winnings to give a randomly chosen person in attendance tonight...
a FREE TONYS MEAL afterwards!
Thanks, Max!
