CEO This Weekend - Injustice/MK9 Player Preview & Tournament Schedule, Pools Listed

[STORMS]

This weekend... get hype 'cause it's the last Road to Evolution event before the Superbowl of the FGC. With Evolution just around the corner, CEO is here to test how good you really are. Alex JeBailey is presenting Community Effort Orlando at the Wyndham Resort in Orlando, Florida this entire weekend starting tomorrow. With players coming in from all over, including New York, Chicago, Georgia and many other states, CEO promises to deliver a punch and then some. You can view our full player preview, exhibition schedules and tournament schedules below!

---------------------------------------


---------------------------------------


Gross - The infamous Mortal Kombat 9 Sektor and Smoke player from the Video X Games will be attending CEO this weekend. It is uncertain what all characters he uses in Injustice, but we can say this... his timing in impeccable. He is also known to take full-advantage of any flaws in the game and use to his benefit including 100% resets. He made himself known by beating the world champ, but now, can he stay on top or has he lost his game?


FNATIC|Perfect Legend - A champ with everything to gain and nothing to lose. Perfect Legend will be attending CEO where many of his rivals will be coming for him including CD Jr, REO and if anyone's been following him on twitter, Rico Suave. Perfect Legend is heading to CEO to make a statement; he's not afraid, and you can't intimidate him. He listened to players talk trash for many months only to shut them up by winning Evolution 2012. Will his competition finally do what they say or will Carl do what he does best?


Rico Suave - Many know of Rico Suave from the New York area, but moreso from the Next Level arcade. Excercizing his Black Adam against the area's best competition including CD Jr, Chris G and many others... Rico will be coming for blood at CEO and Perfect Legend's first on the list.


EMP|CD Jr - He is one of the most anticipated competitors along with REO and Perfect Legend... with a stone-cold agenda. Getting in to the head of CD Jr isn't the easiest thing to do because he's better at getting inside of yours. He mains Superman but also plays several others including Black Adam and now, Scorpion. You better believe that his sole mission will be to take out Perfect Legend.


EMP|REO - A tournament veteran from the East Coast... REO's is known to pull the rabbit out of his hat. While you might think he only knows a few characters... in tournament, he's been known to surprise an audience. Will we see one of the hypest matches there is at CEO... REO vs Perfect Legend?


GGA|16 Bit - Coming from the Chicago, Illinois area, GGA's 16 Bit is not only an Evolution 2011 top 8 finalist, he is also one of the better known tournament players. Rumor has it that he will be going all Killer Frost at CEO. One of the last times Perfect Legend faced 16 Bit's Killer Frost... it was very one-sided at UFGT. Will players be ready for 16 Bit's Killer Frost?


AK|Pig of the Hut - Possessing the power of fear, Pig of the Hut is also confirmed for CEO. He is not very easily intimidated... it actually gives him focus. He is one of the most respected tournament players due to his incredible reaction time and the ability to read his opponent.

[IIWade3II]

Looking for a blow up in pool 4.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

So happy that MK is getting streamed tomorrow. Will give me a way to kill time while I'm at work.

 

[REO]

lol @ pl being reo's "rival"

the lesser batman who better pray he also doesnt become the lesser scorpion this weekend.

reo's rival in injustice is tom brady

 

[MrSoloLobo]

I really want to see what PL can do in Injustice with Scorpion. Big fan of his MK play.

 

[Impractical Joker]

Scorpion plays similarly to how Kung Lao did in MK and PL had the better KL so you better watch out

 

[REO]

reo innovated how scorp is played in injustice since day 1 scorp release

#HoldDat

 

[The Gabriel]

dickwin plays injustice?

 

[Big Pampering]

The only similarity between kl and scorpion is how a jump can be a mixup, kung lao's mixup however isnt half as safe as scorpion and his game doesnt revolve around it like scorpion does. I do agree that scorpion might fit PL more than KL does since PL ignores half of kung laos tools and cant let go of the teleport and low hat advantage.

I was just talking about how it lets him jump around kicking and teleporting all day while still allowing him to win haha. He's obviously not just like Kung Lao but his playstyle in PL's hands is similar

 

[lawzoers]

Could any of you, gentlemen, post a link where I can see some matches of Ranmasama playing Injustice?

 

[Yinze]

Will the entire event be streamed?

 

[GGA Jeremiah]

Ummm... MK9 Pool 1. Is that pool stacked enough? I'm not sure. I think they should add Cd jr. and Gross to that pool as well to even things out.

 

[LaR]

gross featured ahead of tom brady?. Is this a joke?.

 

[K7L33THA]

Looking forward to MK!

 

[bettyswallaux]

Ok i ask this all the time.. can someone tell me what time inj and MK start tomorow/sat? cos i always get friggin confused...

 

[GamerBlake90]

Schedule's highly convenient. Plenty of time to ready myself for when I arrive tomorrow morning.

*clenches fists*

Let's go...

 

[Killphil]

Just out of curiosity, what were MK9's numbers at CEO last year? This is abysmal if you ask me.

 

[Uotan]

I thought Rico wasn't able to make it out this weekend? I sure as hell wish he could after them twitter popoffs.

 

[Dizzy]

Could any of you, glentlemen, post a link where I can see some matches of Ranmasama playing Injustice?

When he fought GGA Fill Pops at ufgt he did not know shazam was in the game, and when he clashed he asked a random guy next to him (in a joking fashion) how many bars he should spend because he didn't know how it works.

He is really awesome though I love talking to him at majors lol

 

[coolwhip]

Pretty sure MK pools were adjusted. 16 Bit was moved to Pool 2 with Gamer Blake moving to Pool 1.

 

[REDRUM]

Reo should enter MK with Scorpion just to level things off..

 

[That__John__Guy]

This is an awesome post! I dig all the info, the player preview, listing the pools, etc. Why not, eh? The more info the better. It'd be cool if future events followed suit and gave a little more info than date, time, place, and "it is going to be hype!"

Nice work!

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

No "bio" for Tom Brady ?? dude deserves more love than he gets!

 

[bipolar_shango]

lol @ pl being reo's "rival"

the lesser batman who better pray he also doesnt become the lesser scorpion this weekend.

reo's rival in injustice is tom brady

Aren't you playing MK at CEO?


I can't wait to watch the MK tourney.... then download the archives and watch it again
