Mortal Kombat 11 has just been released to reintroduce us to the fighting game series, and now we have details of the Mortal Kombat 11 Pro Kompetition for 2019 and 2020, courtesy of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Netherrealm Studios, and Intersport.

Intersport is running the competition, which is the first global esports program for the game, kicking off next month and offering players a chance to compete in four online tournaments, which are as follows:

There are several offline tournaments planned as well, offering a prize pool bonus of $1,000 USD at each stop. The confirmed events are:

The winner of this will then compete in the Mortal Kombat 11 Pro Kompetition finale, called Final Kombat, coming to Chicago in Q1 of next year.
