Test Your Might

Mr Aquaman, commentator for the NRS scene and mustached man with a plan, has announced a new online series for MK11, leading up to a $10,000 invitational at the end.

Noble Raptor, creator of the Kombat Akademy and NRS walkthrough guru has found a universal OS that can make any string in the game safe on block. Yes, any string, any character. He has two videos up with places this will be more useful with other people dropping examples in the comments.

This week is Player Appreciation Week in Mortal Kombat 11, as announced late last week. If you have no idea what that means (you shouldn't, unless you work for NRS) then have I got some news for you!

Dreamhack Montreal is finished this year, and we have results for those of you who missed out. Running straight through the Top 16, this event was possibly the most stacked we've seen this year. But somebody had to win, and everybody here had to gain a few Pro Komp points for the big finals coming up.

Winners:
UYU Deoxys (Geras)
Gunshow (Jax)
bc Dragon (Cetrion)
Ninja Killa (Liu Kang)

Losers:
Echo Sonic Fox (D'Vorah/Jax)

It's the return of the TYM news show, with Jolt! This week, we are looking at happenings in the MK Pro Tour, updates to MK11 and more.

Something is going on next week called "Player Appreciation Week". It seems like NRS is going to be doing something that will make it easier to get select, fan-favorite gear and skins in this event.

New patch for MK11 is out, initial reports are saying the forfeit exploit that allowed losers in ranked to stall out matches after a loss is gone. Whether or not anything else was done remains to be seen.

Located in Shang Tsung's Throne Room (11318, 203). Also contains Shao Kahn's "Wanton Violence" Emperor's Helmet.

This was a busy weekend for the FGC: not only did we have another event for the MK11 Pro Kompetition with Celtic Throwdown, we had the start of BigE season with Summer Jam. Celtic Throwdown wrapped up this morning and Summer Jam's Top 8 is wrapping up in a few hours. For all details and results, go look below:

Coming back with the recap, Jolt has put out another episode of the TYM News Show, taking a look at everything coming up and everything that went down this week.

Offcast takes a time out to talk about the casual scene of the FGC and MK, as MK was like the best selling game of 2019. Interesting stuff from a thoughtful and great content creator that is NOT a shill "influencer"...

Keith David is going to be the voice of Spawn! Which is welcome news coming in the face of Arnold not doing the Terminator. Check out the announcement below:

Spawn is a thing finally happening. After being assured by people for the past 8 years that he was definitely going to be the last DLC character in whatever game was out, that dream is finally coming true. Today, NRS has put up a render showing off how he looks in the new game engine.

Good evening,

my name is Matthias I am 30 years old and from Germany. Back in 2016 I've organized anEU only MKX online league with @Vjeekes and people from Devil Apes. Many people attended and we have a lots of fun. I'll revive the Kombat League in MK11 at September 15th starting with a 32 Player Group Phase kick off. When we have lots of more competitors i will allow up to 64 Players.

Hey all!

A good friend of mine made a sick EDM Cetrion based track so I did a music video to it. I went a little Artsy with it, little combo videoy with it. Hope You like it!

I have been keeping track of what characters, which variations, and how many games they have been played throughout the MK 11 Pro Tour T8s. All of this should be mostly correct, but I won't pretend that I didn't drink a lot of beers while watching these...so giving or taking a game for some of the higher numbers might be an okay idea. Also, I didn't count mirror matches as double, this is just a straight up count of how many times a character was seen in a Pro Tour T8 game.
