With the announcement of the 2013 Evo Championships -- the road to the biggest competitive fighting game tournament begins anew!

Four tournaments have been announced as partnering with the July major, making up the eponymous annual Road to Evo series. The four events will feed seeding data for a new, organizer-selected seeding system.

Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 9 kicks the doors of the Crowne Plaza O’Hare down on the weekend of May 24-26. Per the Evo line-up, Mortal Kombat will make a triumphant UFGT return in the homeland of Chicago, but unlike Evo, you can be guaranteed Injustice: Gods Among Us will be on the floor as well!

With an April release slated for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo WiiU; Injustice will still be fresh territory for tournament-goers arriving at the Chicago tour in May.

Fans can and should nominate Injustice: Gods Among Us for Evo inclusion by donating to the Evo 2013 8th Game Breast Cancer Drive. The initiative is raising money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and will qualify the game whose community raises the most money.

Mortal Kombat Online hopes you'll join us on the ride to both Evo 2013 and Injustice: Gods Among Us. You can follow and discuss both with the MKOmmunity on the Gameplay & Matchmaking and DC Universe Injustice forums.
