Week 6 of GameStop Hometown Heroes: Injustice 2 showed us the talent coming out of Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest did not let us down. With appearances by characters we’ve yet to see, to unmatched trolling, let’s take a look at what happened.
The first match of the night went quickly, with 2EZ’s Atrocitus getting a 3-0 on Mista Snacks’ Harley Quinn.

Match three made up for the quickness of the first series. These competitors took the fight all the way to a Game 5, with our first Braniac of the season, brought to us by Anbu, up against SoundsLikeAPause’s Green Arrow.

In a shining example of trolling, Blackout entered the Seattle competition with absolutely no points in the region. However, his run was ended by FrightNightTV, who punished him for underrating Seattle’s skill.
