We are just weeks away from crowning the official GameStop Hometown Hero for Injustice 2 and this past week we saw the best players from Miami duke it out in Week 8!
The night started with Viking going 3-0 and advancing straight to winner’s finals without letting his opponent, BeyondToxin’s Scarecrow, catch his breath.
