Just two weeks off of IKizzLE's 50pt victory at PowerUp 2012, the Road to Evo is rolling onward to Richmond, Virginia for Civil War 4!

Organized by RVAtournaments, the Evo Championship Series event will feature Mortal Kombat across three big days, April 27 to April 29, with the usual Evo 2012 seeding points on the line. All games will be played using Xbox 360 versions of the game, with a standard double elimination pools and best of five setup.

A single tournament victory continues to place competitors high within the Evo seeding stakes, with a clear lead still afforded to vVv CDjr (101pts) and vVv REO (85pts) at the top of the list. They will be competing in the first-ever fighting game Pro Circuit Arena special for MLG [full story] -- an eight-player invitational reuniting the finalists from the MLG Winter Championships.

Civil War 4 seeding points are expected to go to top twelve finishers, with 50pts for first, 25pts for second, and 10pts for third. 1pt is awarded for the remaining placement. Warner Brothers have boosted the Mortal Kombat Evo 2012 winners pot to $20,000, making seeding advantages all the more attractive come July!
