beastcoast sign Tim “HoneyBee” Commandeur as their first Injustice 2 player

Following his split from Critical Reaction after Evo, Tim “HoneyBee” Commandeur has now signed to fledgling esports team beastcoast. Before HoneyBee’s arrival, beastcoast’s roster was all Smash players, with MikeHaze for Melee and Mr. R for Smash 4. The addition of HoneyBee for Injustice 2 shows the team’s commitment into branching out into traditional fighting games, alongside platform fighters.

beastcoast are certainly making an entrance into competitive Injustice 2 with HoneyBee, with the Flash master earning second at this year’s Evo and defeating giants like Echo Fox|Sonic Fox and Echo Fox|Theo along the way. With Flash’s recent buffs in the August patch, HoneyBee is on pace to do well at the Injustice Championship Finals in September. HoneyBee’s first tournament with beastcoast will be Summer Jam XI on August 11th, so watch out for a blur zipping past you in pools.
