IT'SSSSSSS TIMEEEE (don't sue me UFC). The Injustice Pro Series finale, bringing together the 16 best Injustice 2 players for a tournament style throw-down with the winner taking home the lion's share of a $100,000 prize pool. I know it's a Tuesday and I know a lot of you might be at work. But TYM is here with all those sweet details.
The Top 16 took place 9AM EST, running through the whole day. After hours of some hype matches, our Top 8 settled down into this crew:
Winner's
Simplicity Tweedy vs. Noble Rewind
Echo Fox Sonic Fox vs. PG Hayatei
Loser's
DF Grr vs. Scar
Noble Semiij vs. Method SylverRye
For the play-by-play and final results, click that spoiler down below. For the love of god, do not go on Twitter/Facebook if you are trying to watch things fresh. Just a friendly reminder for you good people at home! Congratulations to everyone who played today and the commentary crew who helped to keep things exciting throughout!
Starting off our Top 8 was Tweedy's Starfire playing his old teammate, Rewind and his Catwoman. Tweedy took a close game 1, and Rewind hit right back with a solid game 2 win. Game 3 went to Tweedy, the victory coming in after an impressive magic pixel run to eliminate the bulk of Rewind's second healthbar. Rewind took game 4, but not without coming close to losing the whole set after a critical mistake that allowed Tweedy to clash and close in the health gap. Game 5 went straight down to the wire again, and Rewind was able to finish things off 3-2, advancing to winner's and guaranteeing himself $10,000.
Next up was Hayatei's Robin against Sonic Fox's OG main from day 1, Captain Cold. Looking like he did pre-patch, Sonic won game 1. Hayatei was able to get a point on the board with game 2, smart usage of Robin's trait allowing him to get around Cold's frost orbs. Game 3 came down to the final hit, Sonic clutched it out last minute with a quick interactable. Hayatei was able to secure game 4, despite Sonic getting ready to make a set winning comeback after being down a healthbar for most of the match. Our second game 5 was also down to the final health bar, with Sonic Fox taking the win, going 3-2 over Hayatei and also guaranteeing at least $10,000.
Our next match, now in loser's, was Grr's Atom against Scar's Brainiac. With a decisive showing, Scar took the first game, his month long training session with Red Dead Redemption 2 paying off. Grr took game 2, landing a super that allowed him to finally slowdown Scar's divekick pressure. Scar hit right back for game 3, putting himself at match point and Grr in a tough situation. Game 4 was a relatively decisive win for Grr, bringing us, once again, to a game 5. The final game ended up going to Scar, who took the set 3-2 and advanced forward.
Following that was Semiij playing Sylverrye, the undisputed best Catwoman playing the undisputed best Hellboy. Semiij had a strong showing to start, taking both games 1 and 2 without breaking a sweat. Fortunately for Sylverrye, Semiij.exe froze up for game 3 and he was able take a win. Unfortunately for Sylverrye, Semiij.exe kicked back in for game 4, and Semiij took the set 3-1.
For our first match in the next portion of the bracket, Tweedy was up against Scar. Tweedy kept things going with his Starfire, while Scar broke out his Supergirl. Tweedy went up game 1, Scar went up game 2. With that momentum carrying him forward, Scar took a pretty decisive win for game 3. Tweedy was not going to go down without a fight, he took the next win in game 4. In an insanely good showing that came down to a read off of a MB Super Breath, Scar took the final win and the set 3-2.
Next up was Semiij's Catwoman vs. Hayatei's Robin. Once again, we had a back and forth set with Semiij taking game 1 and Hayatei taking game 2. Hayatei won out a relatively slow game 3, putting Semiij up against the ropes facing possibly the second big upset of the night. But Semiij decided he wanted another game 5 for the night, so he tied up the set 2-2. Final game score, Semiij closed it out 3-2 and sent Hayatei home.
Due to unforeseen circumstances (me needing to be somewhere at 9 EST and I didn't feel like waiting until 11 for everything to wrap up) don't have the play-by-play for the Top 4. You can catch the VOD here at around 10:50:00. The scores throughout were:
Sonic 3-0 over Rewind to make Grand Finals.
Scar 3-2 over Semiij to make loser's finals.
Rewind 3-1 over Scar to make Grand Finals.
Sonic Fox defeats Rewind 3-1 in Grand Finals and holds the title of IPS champion.
No announcements for all 3 of you who had hopes that something was coming. We'll keep on keeping on until NRS announces anything. In the meantime, congratulations to Sonic Fox for retaining his title!
