Miami brings the heat in Week 8 of GameStop Hometown Heroes: Injustice 2 with an Atrocitus win

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.

Zyphox’s Flash took the next match for his own against FullAuto’s Deadshot.

GamerFreaks, our next Scarecrow of the night, took the win against Skedar70’s Gorilla Grodd.

We had our very first appearance of Poison Ivy in the series this week thanks to GRIMTG, but after five matches the game went to Grape’s Firestorm.

OD FullAuto and his Deadshot, after a character switch from Cyborg, reclaimed victory, taking a match against GameFreak’s Scarecrow.

And with that, the title of grand champion went to Dr Viking and his incredible Atrocitus.
