In a little over eight months the competitive gaming world will have all eyes on the 2017 Evo World Championship! Tournament organizers are already stoking the hype train coals in preparation of next year's Las Vegas gathering, but for every answer the teaser provides, a question is raised. Watch below:
Since the release of Mortal Kombat in 2011, NetherRealm Studios has secured annual representation at gaming's eSports mecca. Earlier this year, Mortal Kombat X powered into its second year at Evo to anoint in the rise of Bahrain's Runner-Up TekkenMaster. A tantalizing threat to the dominant rule of Dominique McClean aka; Sonic Fox!
Fox and his trademark head gear can be seen in the 2017 Evo trailer, but conspicuous by absence are the games of NetherRealm Studios. MKX appears briefly in an arena mood shot.
Injustice: Gods Among Us shared its year of release with the third Evo Mortal Kombat Championship, in 2013 [full story]. With Mortal Kombat X seeing a reduction in participation, it's unclear if next year's Injustice 2 could disturb MK's representation.
