The name could not fit better for when the battle is over for INJUSTICE: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat... bodies may lie while the few left will struggle for composure. This weekend beginning tomorrow April 19th through the 21st in Richmond, Virginia players from all over the area will be meeting to do battle. Only the best will remain standing and will fight the hardest fight to the top. To give folks an idea of the hype that may be endured, the following players are either expected or confirmed to be at Civil War V this weekend.
(featured players for the INJUSTICE tournament via RVATournaments)
NY Chris G - With a proven and reputable hunger to win, Chris G has been running the tournament scene non-stop since only a few years ago, especially in the Mortal Kombat community. He plays a wide variety of fighting games with his greatest strength being the hunger that flows in his bones. His only known weakness (is also his greatest hidden strength) is getting easily frustrated, although he constantly pushes himself for perfection and breaking his own limitations. It's been said his skills in INJUSTICE are natural... will his frustration overcome?
Tom Brady - He is a veteran Mortal Kombat player who knows and understands how the games work inside & out. In Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe he was known for 'breaking' Green Lantern. In Mortal Kombat 9 his Sub-Zero was the iconic ice character that few would attempt to surpass. In INJUSTICE... Tom will be returning to his competitive roots. He will bring the hype... but will he have what it takes to get back on top?
REO - If there's one man who can adapt at a fierce rate while overcoming the impossible at the same time... REO's natural ability to jump levels are what legends are made of. Since Mortal Kombat Armageddon when he first became competitive with Mortal Kombat "Online" he has since proved that he is not your casual fighter. REO has one of the very strongest tournament reigns of anyone in the community. He shares his strategies with the community for the reasons of constant improvement, so if there's anyone who wants to 'dance' with REO... when they reach the top, you gotta go higher.
