The Injustice 2 Pro Series Grand Finals had some familiar faces as well as some relatively new combatants, but it was one of the former who took home the cash prize.
With the grand prize of $40,000, and a total prize pool of $100,000, these guys played their guts out, but it was SonicFox who took the day and the money. SonicFox is well known in fighting circles, but this year he seemed to show some disdain for the DC based brawler, telling Kotaku that his primary focus has been Dragon Ball FighterZ (which paid off when he won at the Evolution Championship series in August), and further said that he didn't really care about the game, describing it as “annoying” and the Pro Series as “free money.”
It was all a bunch of shit-talk until he came in, forced a Joker mirror match in the first round, then continuing on with the weak character throughout, finally beating Rewind in a badass Joker verses Batman match.
On top of being an absolute force in the genre, the "furry" seems like he's a nice guy. After the victory, he said, he would be donating $10,000 to Rewind’s family, whose Dad was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the month. He said, “I don’t do this for the money. [Rewind] is one of my good friends, one of my training partners, and I’m so very happy to have shared the stage with him.”
Congrats, SonicFox.
