Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios to Add $2,000 Pot Bonus to Mortal Kombat XL at The Common Wealth 2016

Raising the prize pool for a fighting game tournament isn’t easy; as such, it’s always a good thing when the people behind the games step in and provide bonuses for these tournaments.

Recently, NetherRealm Studios and their parent company Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that they were adding $2,000 to Mortal Kombat XL’s prize pool in one of the scene’s newer tournaments: The Common Wealth.

First held in September 2015, The Common Wealth quickly became known as one of the hypest tournaments for Mortal Kombat–with multiple top players like cR|SonicFox, YOMI|DJT and YOMI|Saltface in attendance. The addition of this $2,000 prize pool bonus from NRS and Warner should help the tournament to grow further.

The Common Wealth 2016 will take place on September 17 to 18 at Dave & Buster’s in Virginia Beach, VA.
