TL;DR - NEC14 was so hype that it nearly gave me a heart attack. Howzabout you?


So if you weren't aware there was a pretty big offline tournament recently called Northeast Championship 14 (NEC 14) that ran from Dec. 6 - 8th in Philadelphia, PA. For those that didn't attend or get to watch it on stream, it was full of extremely hype matches, a variety of character representation, large number of entrants from East/West/Mid, and is being called "one of the best Injustice tournaments to date." Most signficantly, this is the first major offline tournament since the recent BIG v1.06 Injustice balance patch released by NRS.

Aside from just being an exciting tournament to watch there's a lot of buzz around the aftermath involving the resurgence of the game. Tier lists have been turned on their head, longtime MK9 vets were dethroned, matchups are being completely rethought, and overall it's rekindled the fire for a lot of the scene.

So, I was curious what the community of MKO thought about the tournament. Did it reinspire you to check out Injustice? Did you get to watch it? Have any favorite moments? All of it is fair game.

Resounding no. Seriously if I ever murdered someone and needed to hide a body somewhere it'd be in the Gameplay & Matchmaking forum.

Haha! God, too true.

I haven't been checking this forum for awhile since so few people on MKO seem to actually play and learn the games. But to answer your question (if you ever come back and check this thread, lol) I was beyond hyped by NEC and have been playing more Injustice than ever. I actually went to my first tourny after NEC and had a great time and came in 8th (out of like 13-14 haha). MK was cool too, but imo not as good as Injustice. For me its hard to get into that game again because the online is sooooooo incredibly terrible and thats where i get all my experience.

Tyrants INSANE Grundy comeback against that Theo dudes Superman was hands down the hypest thing I have EVER seen in a tournament. Was watching it by myself and STILL went apeshit when that happened. Loved all the matches though, loved the amount of different characters used at such a high level. I really, really hope injustice doesn't die out, I think despite some flaws it is extremely well balanced and exciting to watch.

Thanks for posting the links tho, I saw most of the tournament but not all.
