Let's be frank: Mortal Kombat 1's popularity is waning. Season 3 content appears canceled due to underwhelming sales, and the recently released Pro Kompetition trailer, promoting the game's esports circuit, is underwhelming at best.
The 2025 Pro Kompetition boasts a total prize pool of $255,000. This is a relatively small amount, even within fighting game community (FGC) standards. Previously, many top players voiced concerns about insufficient prize money, highlighting the unsustainable nature of international travel for potentially meager earnings.

This year's competitive scene will likely see a geographical split: North American and European players competing primarily within their regions, converging only at EVO 2025, considered the premier fighting game tournament.
While there's considerable hype and emotional investment, and the teaser image of the T-1000 generates excitement, the overall picture remains concerning.
