Noble Dragon Wins Injustice 2 @ EVO 2017!

TheGabStandard

The anticipation is killing me
...after he got caught. "Oops, you got me. Please don't punish me. I'll make it up to you, now that you've caught me!" He's lucky he only gets boo'd. I think a ban from tournaments would be more fitting for people who get caught cheating in tournaments. It's not like that's something you can do by accident. That takes planning and intent. Fuck cheaters.
If I recall correctly was he not effectively banned from taking part for the rest of season 2 ESL for that? Is that not an appropriate punishment for the crime under that umbrella and he has technically "served his time".

I'm gonna start this post off by saying I'm not a big fan of Dragon, he's just not a very likeable character and I'm not sure why.
I find this curious as Dragon is one of the nicest and most likable people in our community.

Always humble and cheerful 99% of the time. Instead of complaining he just grinds it out and works hard. And he's not afraid to have a good sense of humor about himself, even when people poke fun at him.

When people who've never had a conversation with him are saying they don't like him... It makes me scratch my head a bit.

There are definitely things that matter outside of this game. <3 Dragon

Props to Honeybee!

Once the game gets balanced I just don't see anyone being able to deal with his Flash.

In this upcoming patch I wanna see Aquaman, Catwoman and Black Adam die!

Wow they booed him? I don't even like dragon but that's so fucked, embarrassing.
Yeah. I find it super embarrassing that Aquaman won EVO but booing during the awards is just in bad taste. It happened. It was over. Time to get over it and move on.

Congrats to Dragon. His play was outstanding and deserved the win. And, I get it, top tiers will forever be hated and called broke, but let's not act like any single character in this particular game is an "auto win" button. Not even Adam or Catwoman.

Also, shoutouts to honeybee for the hype af Flash play and to Semiij and Infinitii for rocking Selina to the max.
 
honeybee is gonna have a lot of sleepless night wondering what would have happened if he picked flash in the beginning of gf... i just dont get how you can think your chances are better with an aquaman counterpick against the best aquaman player out there...

I'm from the UK so I've never met him and I'm pretty sure if I did I'd change my mind.

I honestly don't know why though I've just never liked the look of him from the moment I first saw him. I'm not stupid enough to say I hate him or anything, I just don't think he's very likeable

This EVO was so hype. We saw flash and robin in top 8. Hats off to all those guys. Just goes to show you, it's the person behind the sticks and not the character. My wife plays flash she's not very good but she has fun with the game. First time I have ever seen my wife so hype and want to watch a tournament. She was rooting for honeybee so hard.

The Power of Lame Compels You
If you are one of the people who is disgusted/angry or you have lost respect for Dragon, you're actually an idiot. This man has worked his fucking ass off since day one to get where he is. For you to have the AUDACITY to try and take away from his biggest accomplishment yet shows how much you just actually don't understand how this whole things works. What you didn't think a top tier was going to win a tournament? Here's a little bit of a tip since you seem new to this whole tournament thing, the good characters TEND to win. Obviously there are moments where characters that aren't Top 5 get into Top 8 and even win the tournament and you have every right to be hype about that but the fact that you even think just because Dragon decided "Hey I feel like having a better chance to win" takes anything away from his win is just...mind blowing.

In a non salty state of mind congrats to the GOAT Dragon, all that training paid off finally, don't doubt this man, he caries his characters to victory not the other way around. EVO's Top 8 was diverse and hype, definitely a great viewing spectacle.

how about u are the idiot here??
of course dragon is an amazing player without any doubt.
but it seems like not everyone like him because he is using fraudulent chars like tanya, alien, aqua?

u have to respect other opinions as well kid ;)
 
Buff flash tho amirite?
if flash gets buffed, honeybee is gonna win everything. you could exactly tell that he lost in this top 8 when he played too impatiently and he won when he worked his way in slowly. the 0-3 against dragon was due to a lack of confidence, you see how he evolved patience in the set against theo and lost it in match 5 against dragon. only match 4 against theo he lost with the patient approach, but hey that has to happen when people optimize their chars - it goes back and forth, at the one time the one char has the upper hand with his strategy, another time the other.

Evil but Honest!
The Best EVO Top8 after the MK9 era.
The quality of the matches was eons better than the one of the pathetic excuse of a game called MKX.
 
Seeing the trident rush was painful every single time. Can't counter that: if you block everything he gonna still either chip like there's no block at all while being safe, or force to sac a bar. And in Ij2 i played AM the most, not even biased or something. But that's NRS fault, Dragon did everything that was permitted to achieve the first place, and he did it better than others. That's it. You can't hate on him, especially since he's an actual positive player. Not disrespecting or trash talking or crying when losing.
HoneyBee used Aquaman vs the best Aquaman atm and lost, but he didn't get rekt, the games were really close. That mirror is honestly complicate, couple errors (or debatable plays at the max possible skill level) here and there and Dragon experience and patience (often underestimated, he might be boring but he's one of the best in patience games) given him the upper hand.
Given this, only god knows how much i wanted HoneyBee to win an event like this and how much i respect his attitude in all these years. But 2nd place was insane too, seriously. He still got some good money. And enough points for the top16 at the Pro Series, so don't worry we will see him at another godlike event soon.

If Flash gets buffed to OP status you better bet top players are gonna pick him up and win with him too. Honeybee will win more but so other top players too.
