ESL Mortal Kombat X Pro League Season 2, Week 7 Streaming Live

Editor’s note: Due to various circumstances, North America is currently one week behind Europe, while the Commonwealth of Independent States are one week ahead.

ESL’s Mortal Kombat X competition returns for another installment of its second season. Similar to the previous season, the first few rounds of this online tournament have narrowed the playing field down to eight competitors in each region, who will be going at each other’s throats today to earn their way towards the grand finals event next year and its $100,000 prize pool.

Some of the more notable players you’ll see participate this week include Dab, UA|Scar, Xarakamaka, Mitsuownes, FLET, and Arzu, among others.

The stream is live below, but you can also visit Twitch if you prefer to chat with fellow viewers. You’ll also find a table of start times for each of the three regions involved further down.
