Kombat returned to Europe as the MK11 Pro Kompetition took the tour to Ireland for the first follow-up to Evo! Celtic Throwdown brought many of the league's best across the pond, putting increased pressure on the local talent as points were scooped by the US special forces!
Watch: Top 8 | Grand Final
Playing away didn't diminish the efforts of three of America's best as they swept the podium positions across the August/September weekend. Curtis "Rewind" McCall stepped up in a big way to show his Liu Kang is a force to be reckoned with, recovering from a loss to Evo World Champion Sonic Fox, in order to claim his first MK11 title!
SonicFox played with D'Vorah at this tournament, frustrating rival Dragon on the way to the final battle. Dragon had a lot to contend with this tournament, including Europe's best finishing fighter VideoGamezYo, who was dropped into the second chance bracket by Dragon in the pools stage, but fought his way back for a an unsuccessful rematch in the "loser's" Semi Final! Dragon was also responsible for keeping Bahrain's excitement machine Tekken Master from performing better.
VideoGamezYo's run ended with a disappointing 3-0 grudge bout, but his determination along the way claimed fellow Brit, A F0xy Grampa, and Viennality winner Hayatei! He was rewarded with enough points to break into the Top 16 League Ranks! Scroll through the final 25 points getters to see where the league rankings stand after the September 1st update!
