Because of the unique circumstances of this year's Evo World Championship there were actually three champions to take the Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate crown! The title was spread across three different regions as top players around the world went online to battle it out for glory and gold!
The global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic forced Evo online this year, spreading the championship and latency between North America, Europe, and Latin America. Unique circumstances that theoretically evened the playing field by giving every competitor a homeground advantage!
