Highlights
MCZ|Daigo Umehara (Yun) vs Poongko (Seth)
Daigo — one of Japan’s most accomplished Street Fighter veterans — got destroyed by Korean player Poongko. It hurt to see a legend fall, but damn if Poongko didn’t make a show of it.
KOREAN TECHNOLOGY!!!
Mike Ross vs. DR Ray
A heated final match between two established MvC3 competitors ends with one of the biggest surprises of the show. After an impressive comeback by Dr Ray, he makes an serious mistake, ending in literal player suicide.
Commy vs. D3athWish

Cookie vs Ryan Hart
The most watched Mortal Kombat Evo2k11 clip on YouTube. I wonder why…
Noah vs RoyalFlush
Noah, an eight-year-old competitor, wins a match. An Evo match. The Evo crowd went wild with cheers as Noah played and boo’d his competition. He also won matches against Cronos and Kang, but was eliminated by Chris G.
PR Rog vs. BOX Viscant
