VU mvp_ryon wins Mortal Kombat X at Ghana's FGC event, Gamer's Republic Brawl 2015!

[GamerBlake90]

With Mortal Kombat X dropping all around the globe, the hunger to triumph spread far and wide. One such nation to be touched by this determination is West Africa, where the citizens of Ghana gathered together to battle it out in an event called GBR 2015, or Gamer's Republic Brawl. With a 30-man bracket at the ready, players brought unique battle strategies to the table, and eventually only one stood triumphant - VU mvp_ryon, who demonstrated great mastery over Liu Kang's Dragon Fire variation!

We congratulate him for the victory and would like to thank @LavaG for bringing us this update, along with all possible footage from GBR 2015 so that we can catch up on the excitement!

Nice stuff, Liu vs Kano was really sweet.

why Kano never use grab after blocked d4, it's an imblocable grab from big range and the best way to punish safe ennemy strings

Congrats to @mVp_Ryon nice play and well deserved win

 

[kboadi9]

Thanks to rm jago blake for appreciating the gameplay

Good to see Ghana showing on TYM again after our very first mention in 2012. Congrats to @mVp_Ryon for taking the whole event, he's got the best Liu I've seen so far, no? Watch out for the 11 year old protégé BabyFox who takes his inspiration from @SonicFox5000. Thanks to @YOMI RM JagoBlake for front paging us. We will have more coming soon

Good Shit Ghana.

 

[rolex]

Best Lui Kang no doubt

 

[DOOMSDAY-15RUS-]

Well noted bro. Thanks for the tip!

DBF4 has better range than DFB4 after poke, and for info, 112 there is an windown after 11 so if you think ur opponent will try to attack in window even with EX version you can counter with DB1 or DB3 i mean you do 112DB1(3) you can punish 90% of EX attacks in the window
