I'm not going to pretend I expected a larger bracket in 2018 than we saw in 2014, but it is awesome that we've got one.

Not to ruin your enthusiasm but our hosting MK9 and the idea of an UMK9 are completely unrelated.

More games determine who is the better longer set player. Its a different skill set than the shorter set as the shorter set relies on faster adaptation and tech knowledge. There are cool aspects of both (thus why there are still 1 and done tourneys in Japan or why team tournaments are generally...

Hey friends, Just so everyone knows the rule set on CB's site is a Default rule set used for any new game. Notice that there aren't any specific rules for Gear yet (something we know is coming with Injustice 2), etc. The CB team is open to 3/5, particularly if its a community want, but I'll...

Schedule talk: We prioritized showing later tournament matches over pools. Combo Breaker is an event with 20+ tournaments and a variety of attendee focused auctions & exhibitions. Our stream schedule reflects this and attempts, as best as possible, to have equality amongst games in relation to...

Some news I think you all might appreciate!

As someone always happy to provide new opportunities for all of you, Combo Breaker is now your offline way into the ESL Mortal Kombat XL Season 3 North American Finals! More information and qualification information here: http://en.pro.eslgaming.com/mkx/proleague/ Good luck everyone!

Not to hype up things that haven't happened...but I'd been delaying this post because big news is coming. Really looking forward to seeing everyone again and presenting the best possible MKXL tournament we can. @Tim Static @STORMS @CrimsonShadow

Were working on refining the ruleset for tomorrow's release. At this point itemizing out specifics like this won't be productive. We'll re-up tomorrow.

We haven't banned any characters over mechanic glitches, and TOs, as people, are not always going to follow suit with one another - particularly on a game this new. We've announced that we are releasing refined, more specific conditions around this ruleset tomorrow after having more time to...

Rules are being actively refined until tomorrow night. Referees are going to operate under specific directives and will not be empowered to make arbitrary decisions. The discretion comes in, as with other games, if new glitches or unforeseen related glitches are discovered mid-match. In cases...

Referees are not allotted arbitrary decisions. Initial or accidental use of a glitch produces a warning, continued use of a glitch is punished with a game loss. Flagrant or repeated use of the glitch will result in a bracket DQ. Refined rules will be posted, and explained, before each pool...

You would be DQ'd under the abusive glitch ruling. Kung Lao players are allotted the reality of muscle memory and input errors, but repeatedly exploiting the glitch would be an immediate game forfeit and a potential bracket DQ.

Likewise. Looking forward to seeing all the matches.

The core decision here, which was discussed at great length with staff, players, ESL, and NRS, is the viable option available in an unfortunate situation. Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback.

Pools and brackets will be available tomorrow.
