This week, the Yomi crew was expanded upon by Malik and Denzell Terry from the Las Vegas scene and also joined by surprise guest Darkfire from the Florida scene. With a super-stacked turn-out, we were looking at a prelude for what is to come at Combo Breaker this weekend. It was truly anybody's game as so many upsets shook the building more violently than an earthquake would ever hope to achieve.

Last week, YOMI KIT @FOREVER KING had reclaimed his throne from one of his training partners, YOMI Michaelangelo. But now, that throne has been usurped again by another of the NRS scene's iconic players...let's give a round of applause to Malik Terry, now known as YOMI MIT, for winning Mortal Kombat X at the Atlanta Kombat Arena's fifth weekly event!

We also congratulate YOMI SLAYER for claiming victory in our eight-player Injustice bracket that night! Although MKX is currently the hottest fighting game title to sweep through the NRS scene, the displays of Injustice talent have not withered.

For those who missed out, do not fret! Below is a link to the playlist for AKA's fifth week, including all MKX footage as well as the Loser's Finals and Grand Finals from Injustice.

The Yomi Gaming arcade is open to any and all fighting game players on every day of the week...except for this weekend, which will be closed due to a combination of Combo Breaker and Memorial Day. As such, we will not be hosting Capcom/Anime Mondays next week, but we will be ready to bring you another weekly bout with the AKA crew next Tuesday.

We're located at the following address:

643 Shelton Ave
Atlanta, GA, 30310

Anybody with questions may contact myself or @YOMI Reno_Racks by private message. We'll be happy to assist you!

To close off this post, courtesy of fellow staff member @AK JIMMY_VONVITTI we are pleased to bring you a photo album full of memories with the Yomi Gaming crew this week! For your convenience, each photo will be contained within spoiler tags.

Adding the rest of the album to a second post due to the limit on attached items per submission.

BS3OOO

Noob
pokchop should do EVO commentary with Ultra David lmaoooooooooooo
I could just picture him in a suit now. "Ooo, ooo, hmm hmm hm...THUNDERNUT". Then it was funny seeing Glass Sword looking serious as hell while PokChop was talking his shit. Man, one of the best parts of the tourney.

Congrats MIT! I'm sure Denzell will do much better next time, but he lost against two very good opponents. I can't wait to see what YOMI does at combo breaker.
