The Injustice 2 Legendary Series came to an explosive end last night as the top four players from Sub Saharan Africa went up against one another to determine who would be crowned the champion. The Legendary Series has seen over eight weeks of competition where players have been fighting for their share of R12 000 in cash prizes. Last night, we saw two players from Zambia and two from South Africa battle it out, not only for the title but additionally for their nations pride. 

Zambia Vs South Africa - A Rivalry is born  

The Sub Saharan African Fight Game Community hasn't had too many opportunities to face off against one another in regular competition. Last year, the Injustice 2 South African Cup was announced, and the rest of Africa had to sit on the sidelines as they saw Brandon 'Sho Kahn' Jacobs lift the trophy and be crowned as the South African champion. 

Stepping into 2018 there was a hunger from the rest of the Sub Saharan African countries to prove their value and skills. Thankfully the Injustice 2 Legendary Series was announced, which opened up its doors to the African brethren that were left behind. While many players from various countries participated, it was the South African and Zambian factions which remained after the four weeks of qualifiers to push themselves through into the Legendary League. 

The League provided a battleground for the players from the two countries to test their might as they battled relentlessly for two weeks. After the blood was spilt and the wet soil was dusted, only four players remained lest standing to continue in their fight to become the Injustice 2 Legendary Series Champion. Out of the four remaining fighters, two were from South African and two from South Africa and as fate would have it; both semifinals would start with a South African facing against a Zambian.
