Really loved it. I placed my bets on Garry Whitta winning it but should have played closer attention to the TNT from the night before that he had 'no skill'
Sean Coonce was the heavy favorite but I knew Street Fighter ≠ mortal kombat, Glad to see Alexis winning it it all, hopefully somone of these folks have a better chance next time
Your thoughts?

One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).
The scrub leage was fantastic
I had all my hopes riding on Will Smith to take it. I assumed he had enough repressed anger at the taunting of failed Tested segments to really want some people dismembered in that tournament.
As such, I am extremely bitter about Alexis winning, and feel that he only barely qualified for the scrub league if at all. Curse you.
Yeah I would love to see more internal whiskey media tournaments going on. It was a lot of fun to watch, and the betting pool made it that much more fun. MORE!!!!
Also, really hoping for one of these in a month or two with all the same competitors, so we can see how they've improved, if at all.
Loved, LOVED the scrub league tourney! I was so mad at myself I didn't get to vote, i found out through a retweet from Ed Boon's twitter and by the time i saw it was too late but i did get to see it from start to finish.
I would've voted for Corey the intern, but still...lol
So who ended up winning the free copy? Anyone that post here?
It was extremely entertaining. Some of those rounds were seriously intense. And some were just plain hilariously bad. Me and a friend watched them together and applauded some of the victories. Was sad to see Vinny go early on... Where was Brad?
I really enjoyed the "Scrub League."
In general, I'm REALLY enjoying the new Mortal Kombat. I like how the combos are relatively easy to pull off and it makes the game a lot of fun to play. Now if only the PSN was up so I could finally try the game out online. In the past I had tried Tekken 6 and Super Street Fighter IV, and to no avail, I was beaten pretty badly. I'm hoping this will be the game that finally gives me a chance to eek out a win here and there.
I actually bet on Alexis to win, Whitta to place, and Will to show.
I'd say that was pretty good guessing! Any word on when the winners of the PS3/X360 games are announced?
" I thought it was beyond awesome. Like, if Batman had a baby with Jesus and he grew up to have a three-way duel with Kratos and Clint Eastwood. That kind of awesome. "This, except remove the word 'duel.'
" @Lukeweizer: It was an office tournament with the winners getting a free copy of MK, it happened before the happy hourVideo posted in OP "Did they say who got the copies of MK? I haven't heard anything yet, and placed a winning bet : /
I thought that it's just be pretty cool but ended up getting WAY into it.
One of the best things they've ever done, but Alexis wasn't a scrub at all, he gave Jeff a really good fight.
When Korey the intern said "full of win" all I could hear was "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh".
If you look closely on Ryan's face, you can see his immediate subtle reaction.
" It was fantastic. I had more fun watching that than watching Starcraft.I much prefer this format to the current-wave of TNTs. Keeping it in-house is great.Hopefully there are more of these style tournaments, with the betting and prizes."
Even though I am not a big fan of fighting games, I loved watching the MK Scrub League. There were some great moments where I was literally on the edge of my seat.
