After a ton of pre-season action, ESL’s Mortal Kombat X is set to kick into high gear tonight with the season’s very first official tournament. A recent qualifier narrowed the playing field down to sixteen competitors, and those players will be going at each other’s throats tonight to prove they have what it takes to do well in this new arrival to the fighting game community.

Some of the more noteworthy names you can expect to see play tonight include pre-season powerhouse cR|Sonic Fox, Pig of the Hut, REO, cR|Wound Cowboy, and RZR|Perfect Legend, all of whom definitely have a shot at taking home the gold.

The tournament’s stream can be found below, but you can also visit Twitch if you prefer to chat with fellow viewers.

Camelot Unchained: Anxiously Waiting

Anxiously Waiting

This is a new experience for me. I’ve been given a chance, one that I take very seriously, to be a representative of both MMORPG.com and the Camelot Unchained community. I thought long and hard about integrity, and the challenge of walking the line between a fanboy and critical writer and I decided it was one I could walk…hopefully!
