While most of Mortal Kombat X’s early competitive action has been taking place in the west, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything happening for players outside of North America and Europe. Beast of the East, in cooperation Ingram Micro, Xmashed Gear, CouchWarriors, St. Games, and Imperium, have announced the Mortal Kombat X Asia Pacific Championships.

This series will consist of four qualifying tournaments throughout the region. The top three placers at each event will receive monetary rewards and other prizes, but more importantly, the winner will be sent to the grand finals.

Details for the qualifiers are as follows:

  • Manila, Philippines
    • Date: May 9, 2015
    • Location: Imperium e-Sports Bar and Gaming Lounge
  • Singapore
    • Date: May 16, 2015
    • Location: St. Games Cafe
  • Melbourne, Australia
    • Date: May 22 to 25, 2015
    • Location: Battle Arena Melbourne 7, CQ Functions, 113 Queen’s St. Melbourne.
  • Bangkok, Thailand
    • Date: June 20, 2015
    • Location: South East Asia Major 2015, The Connection Seminar Center, Bangkok

Mortal Kombat X Asia Pacific Championships’ finals will take place on June 21, the day after the Bangkok qualifier, as part of South East Asia Major 2015. At stake is over $1,000 SGD (~$744 USD) in cash and prizes, as well as a chance to compete at Evolution 2015.

While the Mortal Kombat franchise is typically known as a North American favorite, these tournaments should provide a fantastic opportunity to see how the rest of the world takes to the latest installment.
