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.
