Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Announces Injustice 2 GameStop Hometown Heroes Tournament

[Clutch8]

Hey,

More details to be released hopefully by next week. This will operate similar to the Pro League. Here are some differences:
- GameStop is the title sponsor
- Instead of 1 cup every week the US is divided into 8 regions. Players compete in their region for 10 weeks online.
- 1 region is featured every week in a top 8 broadcast.
- After 10 weeks, top 4 players go to a designated GameStop store in their region to compete in the Regional Finals. ESL Burbank Studios will broadcast remotely, with tournament operator and correspondent on site (I will hire a FGC pro to handle the tournament inside the GameStop store in each region).

Website, schedule, sign-up details coming to you soon.

Thanks!

P.S. The online cups are 3/5, double elimination.

I won't let that happen. The FGC won't let that happen.

Good to know. I was being facetious anyway. xD

Glad to know you're involved. =)

Hire Kitana Prime if you're gonna hire an FGC member for anything.

Online cups on Sunday. 1 Online Regional Broadcast every Wednesday 5pm - 8pm PDT from our ESL Studios in Burbank.

awesome!! Any word on who will be casting?

KP would be my top pick if you wanted a ace caster!!

 

[ThaShiveGeek]

This is a Dope idea in my opinion.

PS4

Great, another game I want to play with little to no Xbox tournament scene.

If you like fighting games, the konsole to get is usually the Sony konsole...

The exception to this is, of kourse, Killer Instinct..

 

[Thingy]

Does anyone know if Gear will be able to be used in these online tournaments? If so, that would be a bummer.

If you live in Canada, pick which region you want to play in. Toronto should pick NYC, Montreal can pick Chicago, Vancouver goes with Seattle, etc.

So Canadians get to pick which scene we want to play in? I'm not sure who would voluntarily pick the NYC scene since SonicFox is there lmao

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Too bad it's US only and not North America but sounds cool nonetheless.

Trying to sandbag that Gamestop Guatemala tournament?

P.S. Going to less-familiar Gamestop stores to win loot at release tournaments is a time-honored FGC tradition.

 

[Evil Canadian]

As a Canadian if I pick NYC or whatever and then say I managed to qualify, I would still have to take a 7-9 hour ride to somewhere in NYC then?

Boo to USA catering stuff

Sign up in a region closest to you that u can get to for regional finals. You might not know if you've qualified until last week, so from Canada to Miami would be $1000 last min which is why you don't wanna do that

any idea when the regions will be announced?

 

[Linkuei82]

It's a version of the ESL Pro League. Think of GameStop as the title sponsor. I am the creator and Executive Producer of this one

Thank you for the clarification Joshua. I appreciate the response.

Yeah I get that. NYC and Chicago are the same distance for me so makes more sense to choose Chicago region.

 

[Icy Black Deep]

Yeah I get that. NYC and Chicago are the same distance for me so makes more sense to choose Chicago region.

Confirmed: Chicago's free

 

[TopTierHarley]

Get out of my region. No one is trying to fight the Flash lol.

I play ki, but I honestly like nrs games better. Looks like I'm gonna trade my xb1 for a PS4. I'll miss you ki lol.

 

[Indecisive]

Would of been nice if they picked DC. VA is stuck inbetween GA and NY.
NY being 6+ hours
GA being 8+ hours
More regions would of been cool

Good bye Online Warrior Status <3
