Watch: Day 1 | Day 2 | Championship
Even as Mortal Kombat 11 made its Evo debut, there was a lot that felt familiar about the World Championship finals. Sonic Fox once again proved he is the unshakeable constant of the Mortal Kombat scene, securing his third Mortal Kombat and fifth career Evo World Title! It was almost six -- he was also runner-up playing Dragon Ball FighterZ! SonicFox is technically the defending champion, having won the 2016 Mortal Kombat XL tournament -- the last time MK was at Evo.
The 2019 MK11 Grand Final was an inversion of the finish to July's CEO 2019 tournament. There, SonicFox was forced to overcome the pressure of falling into the second chance bracket. This time it was his rival Dragon who fought from underneath - but the end result was much the same. SonicFox closed it out with a clean 3-0 win.
The grand competitive stage brought the best out of Deoxys! He improved on 7th at Combo Breaker to earn his best career result, 4th behind 2016 MKXL runner-up and unpredictable excitement machine Tekken Master!

With a one-time Grand Slam rate on points at Evo, the Top 16 was super-charged wtih a maximum 600pts on offer! By reaching his fourth final in the Pro Kompetition series, SonicFox set himself up with a comfortable lead that could just about see him through to the year end final! An extra 450pts put Dragon in second, solid as a rock over steady contender A F0xy Grampa. 4th place dramatically boosted Deoxys, but Viennality runner-up Tekken Master was the biggest gainer! Zack Rob joins the ranks with an impressive 9th place finish with his only tournament placement so far. Equal 5th placings at Viennality have Asodimazze and Boki hanging on to a coin toss in the 16th spot. Check out the updated table below:
