Evo Las Vegas 2025 Mortal Kombat 1 Top 8 Recap

Mortal Kombat 1 may have died a bit sooner than expected, but the tournaments never stopped being incredibly hype. As always, SonicFox and the Chilean twins were among the favorites to win it all, but we also saw some fresh faces along with online warriors who finally made it on the big stage.

One of the biggest surprises of the event was Scorpionprocs' loss to Grr for the spot in the top 8. George managed to overpower one of the twins and got his first Evo top 8 appearance!

In the winners, SonicFox unceremoniously defeated their protege Hourglass_of_rain, while Nicolas dropped a single game vs. Kanimani. In the upper bracket finals, SonicFox defeated their rival in a close match and moved on to the grand finals.

Losers bracket saw Onlinecale213 beat Grr, while MKJavierMK defeated MichaelCeraFan (what a name!), but Kanimani and Hourglass_of_rain defeated them in their own right and faced off in the losers semis. Kanimani was victorious and moved on to face Nicolas again, only to be defeated once more.

Grand finals saw yet another rematch of SonicFox and Nicolas, and yet again, the Fox was victorious, winning his 8th Evo and equalling Justin Wong.
