Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that it is teaming up with GameStop and the Electronic Sports League (ESL) for the Injustice 2 GameStop Hometown Heroes tournament, an esports program for the upcoming Injustice 2 video game from NetherRealm Studios.

The tournament will offer an all-new way for amateur players in the United States to participate in an esports program and battle for cash prizes. Operated by ESL, open online qualifier tournaments will begin June 4. Eight Regional Finals tournaments will take place in local GameStop retail locations on Aug. 12, leading up to the Injustice GameStop Hometown Heroes Finals at the GameStop Managers Expo in Las Vegas, Nev., Aug. 27.

Esports continues to grow and the inclusion of Injustice 2 is just one in a recent trend of additions to the league. It will join other games such as Street Fighter or League of Legends, which thousands of people watch and enjoy. As Injustice 2 is a new addition to the esports lineup, it may take a while for the any matches to appear on bitcoin esports bookies. Though this may change once the qualifiers are complete.

Injustice 2 is the super-powered sequel to the hit game Injustice: Gods Among Us that allows players to build and power up the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters. Featuring a massive selection of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains, players can personalize iconic DC characters with unique and powerful gear earned throughout the game. Additionally, for the first time, gamers can take control of how their characters look, fight and develop across a variety of game modes.
