"He Runs, He Always Runs" Peckapowa Wins GameUnderground Monthly #9

  • Another month has passed, and as such, another New England Injustice tournament is in the books. As it happens every month, the good people over at Game Underground in Framingham Mass, TO's for GUTS I, GUTS II, and the soon to be announced GUTS III, welcomed us with open arms and allowed the NRS boys to do their thing once more.​
  • First round action saw a severe ineptitude in bracket making as @Peckapowa, his greater than or equal to Viking's Zod (his words), and his infinite character design grading wisdom took on crowd, fan favorite and all out sexy beast @Benbeeach in winners to start. Pecka was able to withstand the hard fraudulent Manhunter counterpick by Ben and made short work of Superman to advance.​
  • In more questionable bracket making splendor, the Green Lantern of America (caution: old leaf) . . . if we're only going by the original 13 colonies . . . and then counted them backwards, and stopped at 13, TYM staff member, and sometimes @AK Pig Of The Hut training partner @CptXecution took on New England powerhouse SmallBiggi and triumphed over his much ballyhooed Manhunter, 2-0.​
  • The rest of the tournament saw great showings from perennial television championship level talent in @Ken123103 and @Dr Morganstien beating their training partners and tournament demons finally in (me) and @imblackjames, getting 3rd and 4th place respectively.​
  • Ultimately Pecka was able to overcome a bracket reset in Grand finals by CptXecution, to 3-0 with Martian Manhunter, because ya know, why go top 5 when you can go top 1.​
  • Special shouts to the newcomer, our new Flash, Daniel Low Paw, DarthPaw, @CRUM and his heartbreaking Catwoman loss and @crosstalk and his UCONN Huskies. Missing was our EVO 9th place finisher @gridman but there's always next time.​

  1. @Peckapowa (Zod, Martian Manhunter)​
  2. @CptXecution (Green Lantern)​
  3. @Ken123103 (Superman)​

Thanks Ben, great write up!

@Ken123103 is absolutely my tournament master, he's eliminated me three months in a row. I overcame bad matchups, counter picks, training partners, and then went and lost my mojo/only favorable matchup all day on stream. Gonna have to attend more tournaments, its the only cure I know for that. Back to the grindstone.

Also it should be mentioned GU is still running MK9 at all these monthlies. So much fun, so many dropped combos.
