ESPORTS- Mortal Kombat and The Summit of Time Announcement

April? Holding the summit so close to launch seems questionable. I would have preferred it to be like 3-4 months out from it's release so we could at least give players a chance to discover, flesh out, and establish some sort of meta.

If the exhibition at the reveal was meant to showcase how the game plays, then the summit should showcase how the game plays at a high level.

I know that, but it's like 2 days already and this is a big deal for the NRS E-sports scene. Didn't mean to disrespect anyone. Hope I've made myself cleared.



It is an E-sports event made by an E-Sports event production company named Beyond the Summit, and from what I know it will include tourneys as well.

There is absolutely no timeframe for one of our News Editors to do their job here if their real life is what's keeping them from it.

If it winds up taking longer than expected, one of us will front page it and they can make the article for it later unless someone else feels like doing it. Sound good?

This talk has really escalated quickly on Twitter about who got invited. I dont know exactly who got their invite but apparently Chris G is the only one confirmed ?Question mark?

I mean, its the only info we can go by but that is only the leak list in question. Nothing has been officially confirmed of these names. Pure speculation. Unless you know something else?

Well then ill wait until its 100% Confirmed ;)

But that still leaves 6 more people to be voted in. Not sure how that works. Is it strictly the people that nominate or an official committee of peers?

PAUSE...wait WHAAAA!? U need to buy merch to fucking vote? Thats some bullshit. I get that this is a marketing way to showcase the game, but this type of practice is quite sleazy.

This will give you an idea https://smash.gg/tournament/summit-of-power/shop/compendium-32

Theirs typically stretch goals to, I would also expect a Skin or something maybe because it seems like NRS is working with Summit at a DotA level since the Summit of Time is happening so soon after release. This is just me speculating though don’t take it as gospel.

OOOOOOH! I think i get it. So in order to vote, you have to purchase an item but in return, the money will be contributed to the prize pool for the players? IF thats so, then that sounds better than my original thought. lol
