What is this?
Klash of Kings is designed as a Northeast/mid-Atlantic monthly Mortal Kombat event. This is not a tournament; but instead a monthly casual stream similar to what we know of VSM and EGP.

Why is this?
King of Prussia is located right outside Philadelphia PA, a central hub for all of the east coast MK players. The east coast is saturated with tournaments and large scale events, but no level up sessions outside VSM exist.

As a stream viewer, should I care?
Absolutely! Our staff feels that we can present a professional MK stream with elements not yet scene before. Inspired form Bar Fights in southern California, each month we will be featuring marquee match ups selected by the community. A king of the hill inspired challenge where one player will have to face 5 worthy opponents each month to hold his/her title in a best of 3. The king loses, a new one will be crowned. We have a crown as well... a crown for a king. Instead of running a normal tournament bracket each month, sets of 3 will be played by various players and then swapped for two new players. This way we will avoid having the same players and/or characters on stream for an extended period of time. Obviously the stream will be promoted to make requests!

We plan on introducing new ways for which the stream can interact with the event such as community bets that will occur for each marquee match up, monthly prizes donated by our special venue, lab sessions to improve the overall knowledge of the MK player base, and much more.

I'm looking to attend...
Our venue will support around 8 to 10 set ups. While not 100% confirmed yet, with the help of MAK we could possibly have EVO Asus monitors at each station.

The King of Prussia Mall is the perfect location to hold Mortal Kombat events! There are dozens of places to eat and visit on top of playing MK... all under one roof (well two, it's a two part mall). If you plan on attending and are not in the tri-state area there are plenty of hotels near by. Most of the hotels are priced at $100 a night. For most people, King of Prussia is the dead center of the east coast MK community. A bus ride from New York is going to take around 2.5 hrs and range around $10. From soVA, you are looking at around a 2.5 hr drive.

The events will always be on Saturdays, allowing us to stream from 12pmEST till 10pmEST. After parties will take place at the Valley Forge Casino; a block away. 21 or older for that... or just look it like Kevo and Classy.

When is this?
There are some things to work out with the venue. We recently moved our planned venue to a larger location, so now we are starting over with our hosts. We did this only due to size issues.

Within a week or so we will have the final date as to when this will occur.

What I need from everyone on TestYourMight is to sign up here if interested! This way we can get an idea of how many people will be there each month. I will update this post with people who plan on attending.

Epic Tiltle as well!

I say we try and do something consistent such as 'first Sat of every month'
We could have the very first one on Cinco De Mayo Sat. May 5th. Fun celebrations!

I might be able to make it 1 month, June or July. From NOVA it's a 3hr and 19minute drive. Might bring the girl and make a weekend out of it or something.

BTW I always thought King of Prussia was some kind of slang term for a location you guys had...didn't know it was the official name haha.

So you know Mao, I have a house about 25 mins away from the mall. People that I know/feel comfortable with are welcome to stay with me.

AC1984 found yet another venue in the same area that has hosted both Marvel and SF events before. There is more space than the previous two and the owners are used to this sort of thing.

Option A is out due to space issues.

Option B fits about 6 set ups in a prime location. Staff is unsure how things will work out but eager to try. Also venue is free; no venue or tournament fee.

Option C fits even more than 6 set ups and is in a very nice location. Staff is experienced with this type of event hosting.

Regardless, this will always take place on a Saturday, starting around 12pm ending around 10-11pm. After party at casino then.

why is the name wnba? whats the story behind it
WNBA was created in an age when online players were taking insignificant clan tags far too seriously. Everyone had them in games like Call of Duty to look cool or feel important. The WNBA, which actually stands for "Women's National Basketball Association," is a parody of clans that take themselves too seriously. It just so happens that we are now a serious, competitive team. Funny how things work out. We still have the sense of humor though.

Anyway, it's pretty appropriate given that the WNBA is known for emphasizing solid play and great fundamentals. Forget dunking and X-rays, we'll take some good ol' fashioned footsies any day, both on the court and in the coliseum.

In Call of Duty you have 4 letters to make a clan tag. Since I didn't take the game seriously, I was always trying to make the funniest and most original clan tag. From Xbox (we played on ps3) to Dr. , my personal favorite was always WNBA.

I struggled to make my friends also use it in CoD, and then tried to get them to use it in MK. And now here we are.

It is my hope that all major houses in the area will be in attendance.

House WNBA:
...

House MAK:
...

and perhaps even House VSM:
...

We might just have a few extra banners that'll be used in the near future. Hmm...

Until then, let the hype commence.
