We continue thundering down the Road to Evo this Easter weekend, the next stop arriving down home in The Woodlands, Houston, for another big three days of Mortal Kombat!

For the first time, Texas Showdown Championships XII brings fully sanctioned Evo Series opportunities to participants in MK! Top contenders are already presenting themselves as hometown hero Mr. Mileena prepares to face-off against other confirmed competitors; Jwonggg, GamerBlake, Emperor Scar, Shanxter and others.

Eight pools are expected to compete Friday (12:00PM - 10:30PM), with double elimination Semi Finals on Saturday (10:00AM) and the Grand Final opening competition, Sunday, at 10:00AM. Registration at the door is still available, $50 "badge" fee, plus $10 per game. Participants should be advised some information may be subject to change. Competition will stream live via twitch.tv/shinkensou, sharing the stream with King of Fighters XIII and Soul Calibur V.

With a modest prize pool to be shared amongst the top three winners, Evo seeding points will be the big bonus for competitors crowding the Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center! A field of mixed rank will offer unique opportunities to those in attendence, with 50pts awarded to the MK winner, 25pts to runner-up, 10pts third, and 1pt to those finishing 4th through 12th.

Mortal Kombat Online is walking the long Road to Evo in July. For last minute updates, be following @MK_Online and discuss all the action live with the MKOmmunity on the forums. While you're at it, be sure to have yourself a happy Easter, if that's your thing. FIGHT!
