Injustice 2 Pro Series 2018 EU Online results and replays

Following a spectacular Evo 2018, the Injustice 2 Pro Series journeys back into cyberspace, as 46 heroes and villains from the EU region gathered to battle this past weekend in the second of three online events in an effort to rack up those leaderboard points to be in the IPS Finals in October. With the EU region scoring only one of the four Premiere events in Vienallity, points were even more precious for them — as traveling to the United States, where the lion’s share of points are located, can be very costly. There was also the majority of a $1,000 prize pool at stake for the top 8 as well. Players from Bahrain, Russia, Poland, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Estonia, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the Ukraine, Austria, and the Netherlands, all converged to battle for supremacy, so there were sure to be some intense matches.
