We have a special opportunity at this month’s Brutality to earn a $50 bonus for 1st Place in our Killer Instinct bracket. FightFest, the FGC component to FandomFest of Louisville, KY, has agreed to sponsor our KI bracket with the $50 bonus if we reach at least 13 players in our bracket. So all you sleepers in the Dayton, Cincinnati, Eastern Indiana and Northern Kentucky area, come on out and show us what you’ve got!
This is all part of our mission to grow Killer Instinct at the Brutality series. Come be a part of the hype!
The Spring Season 2015 Championships for MKX are here! Eight players have qualified by having power rankings in the top five amounts. We are also resetting the power rankings and beginning the first tournament of Summer Season 2015! Lastly, we will be giving a special thanks to this season’s outstanding community member with the FGCitizen award.
Congratulations to this season’s invitees:
