Despite the recent discussions about how long Mortal Kombat 1 will be supported, the tournament itself is showcasing thrilling matches in a really fun game.
Mortal Kombat 1 arrived on the esports scene with a fresh idea and ambitious goals. It’s the first Mortal Kombat game to feature assist characters, called Kameo Fighters, allowing for incredibly complex combos. The developers, NetherRealm Studios, have also committed to supporting the game with plenty of new content over time.
While the game had decent competitive play and managed to gain international traction with tournaments, its biggest weakness was a lack of development support. This was especially noticeable with new characters – we only got two seasons worth of additions.
Despite recent difficulties with the game, the Pro Kompetition 2025 has been a welcome highlight. We’ve seen several major in-person tournaments and strong online leagues throughout the season, and it all comes down to this final event, Final Kombat 2025. It’s very likely that this will conclude the official competitive season for Mortal Kombat 1.

Another MK1 title for SonicFox or a new Champion — Pre-tournament overview
It’s obvious that SonicFox is the strong favorite to win Final Kombat 2025. They’re a legendary player with a lot of success, especially in Mortal Kombat 1.
- SonicFox won Final Kombat 2024.
- They are the MK1 Evo 2025 Champion.
- This season, SonicFox won Combo Breaker 2025.
Victory in esports is never certain, and Final Kombat 2025 is shaping up to be a very competitive event with several players who have a good chance of winning the championship.
- Kanimani dominated European qualifiers of the MK1 Pro Kompetition 2025, like viennality 2k25. It’s interesting to witness this player in the international environment.
- Scorpionprocs is the MK11 Evo 2022 Champion. This season, he won Blink Respawn 2025.
- Nicolas, the twin brother of Scorpionprocs, often reaches the top placements, and he can make the final dash to the biggest MK1 title.
- Rewind is an extremely strong player, but SonicFox stops him at so many top events, like Evo 2025.
Keep an eye on Tekken Master, Grr, Tweedy, and VideoGamezYo at Final Kombat 2025. They’re all incredibly skilled players with distinct approaches, and they have a real chance at winning.
It’s currently unclear what the competitive scene for Mortal Kombat 1 will look like, even outside of official tournaments.
