[Aug 29, 2013] GGA's Weekly Injustice Tournament: Ghost Battle Series # 2 (Brookfield, IL)

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 Dizzy using characters not commonly seen in tournament like Deathstroke, Catwoman and Flash; surely a "breath" of fresh air from the normal characters that dominate the brackets at most tournaments.

Just so everyone notices, this week we are trying 2/3 games for all matches (except winner/losers/grand finals) instead of the 3/5 we used last week. This is not necessarily a permanent change, but we are seeing how this effects the flow of the tourney and stream this week.

If everything except finals is 2/3, how long do you expect the tourney to go? I'd rather not stay past 11 if it's possible, and last week took quite a while to finish.
