KI Ultra Tour Puts $15,000 on the Line at Combo Breaker

Since the release of Eagle in June 2017, the Killer Instinct community has waited with baited breath on the future of their beloved game. After seeing the video below, we know there’s at least one more event in the near future - and it’s a big one.

The KI Ultra Tour via the Kilgore Community Fund is putting up $15,000 for the KI tournament at Combo Breaker, taking place this Memorial Day weekend (May 25-27, 2018) at the Mega Center at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois. To say the community is ready for this is an understatement. Longtime KI players who were loyal to the game through thick and thin are beyond excited to see a show of new support for their favorite game: 

For fans of the series who might have fallen off, Combo Breaker has given players all the more reason to jump back in. In order to celebrate hitting the 500,000 subscriber mark, Maximilian played some KI on stream, most likely due to the Combo Breaker news reigniting the community. It provided for some awesome moments, including this comeback: 

While this brought out the boo-birds who seem to think players returning to KI are just in it for the money, KI player PaulB put the detractors in their place and welcomed any new or returning players to the scene: 

As we inch closer to Combo Breaker, we’ll undoubtedly see more players throw their hat in the ring for a chance at $15k. Who will be the one to bring home the dough this May? We’ll have to wait and see.
