It's gonna be a December to remember when Mortal Kombat invades the Holiday Inn Stadium for North-East Championship XIII! Chilly Philly plays host to "The Family Reunion" this weekend, December 1-2, with single and doubles tournaments and more!

The Reunion will see some of the biggest names in the MK scene descend on The City of Brotherly Love, with TONY-T among the international competitors, making a special appearance all the way from the land down under! He's just one of the names at the centre of the Toasty Boost revelation -- new tech set to change the game with X-Ray meter refill and mass EX destruction!

Kitana master and Galloping Ghost Arcade frontman recently showed the potency of the Toasty Boost -- taking out two-time Evo Championship winner Perfect Legend in the Final of the November Console Combat tournament, last week [via Test Your Might].

The MKOlonel's secret sources tell us 16bit and the GGA crew will be representing hard at NECXIII, with Wafflez to make the trek alongside Soonk and more. Tom Brady, Crazy Dominican [Sr], EGP Tyrant, EGP Krayzie, KH Showtime, Big D, noobe, Death and many more are all but confirmed to fill a packed bracket.

GGA Dizzy and 2012 bullet, Pig of the Hut [
], are noteworthy exclusions, but with so many big names chasing the cheesesteak, we'll hardly notice!

Solo and 2v2 tournaments require a $10 entry fee to brackets; prizes and bonus pots are expected for Mortal Kombat events. The tag teams kick things off early, with the singles main event scheduled for a 3PM (Saturday; Dec. 1) tournament start. For more information (plus UMK3) check out Big E Gaming.
