I wish I could make it, but the wife isn't very fond of me leaving her alone with the kids twice in one month
 
After Seeing the hype at UFGTX I sincerely hope the Injustice scene pulls through in the DMV region. @DarthArma it would be amazing if you could bring the TriState people.

The end of one combo is the beginning of another
So we're got a team battle organized, including Me, RelaxedState, MrAquaman, Astronout, Etc
It might not be streamed though, Injustice is a side game at BATC.
@astronout can you bring your stream setup?
There's also a small discount on the venue for people who bring tournament setups I believe.

I talked with Tristan, he said the internet sucks too much for a secondary stream, but we will have time on the main stream for Injustice

Oh ya and bring setups if you can. He needs all his setups for Tournament
