Mortal Kombat fans have another online league to look forward to, as Stream.me have just revealed all of the details on the MKX league they are hosting, named Kombat Cup. Kicking off on PlayStation 4 next Sunday, Stream.me will be hosting weekly tournaments (with breaks for the holidays, of course) that run up until January 29th 2017.
Every tournament has $450 and 250 league points up for grabs, broken down between the top 16 contenders from each event. Those who place within top 8 of the Sunday event will be invited to a weekly finale on Wednesday of the following week, to decide those top placings. Across these 13 tournaments, $10,000 is set to be distributed in prize money, with the overall season winner earning a trip to Evo 2017. Second and third place prizes have yet to be decided, but all top 8 finishers will receive a copy of Injustice 2 for their hard work.
Players must be aged 17+ to compete in this series, and they must reside in North America, to stop any latency issues with cross-continental connections. All the details, including rules and season information are available on the Stream.me channel for the Kombat Cup, and open registration will be available on smash.gg this Sunday. Some big names have already been invited to compete in this first tournament, including the current king of Mortal Kombat, cR|SonicFox, so expect some fierce competition to earn those league points.
