MORTAL KOMBAAAAT!
With the release of the new Netherealm Studio’s game, what better way to celebrate it than to have another monthly! Sydney’s Monthlies will be back on April 27th at the Bankstown Sports Club.
On top of this, Thanks to Koei Tecmo we’ll also have a $100 prize pool for Dead or Alive 6 as well as distributing a copy as an entry prize to a random participant in the DOA6 tournament.
Finally, With only two more months until Battle Arena Melbourne 11 and two more events left to go, the chance to earn points is rapidly dwindling.
