Players from the top of the Pro Kompetition 2025 global leaderboard reached the final brackets of Evo 2025 MK1: SonicFox, Kanimani, Grr, Nicolas, and more.
The lifespan of Mortal Kombat 1 turned out to be disturbingly short. After only two seasons, we got the official confirmation of no new characters for this game. That sure affected the esports side of things, as MK1 is one of the smallest tournaments in the official Evo 2025 lineup.
However, the competitive spirit is still burning! The event concludes the qualification series for the upcoming Final Kombat 2025 event. All the best players are here to treat us to an amazing show and battle for the precious standing points.

SonicFox is MK1 Evo 2025 Champion!
The legendary player won their semifinal versus Hourglass_of_rain. Then, SonicFox had two tough matches against Nicolas — they won both with 3:2.
SonicFox played the same character / Kameo pair throughout the MK1 Evo 2025 tournament: Cyrax / Madam Bo. The other grand finalist, Nicolas, switched between a lot of Mortal Kombat characters, which is also pretty impressive.
The Final Kombat 2025 event happens from Sept. 26 to Sept. 28. The future of Mortal Kombat is questionable, as the developers from the NetherRealm Studios are reportedly working on the next Injustice game.
Still, the community receives the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, and the next instalment to the series is just inevitable.
