Get over here, esports fans.

Warner Bros. Interactive announced today that it is beginning a third season of official Mortal Kombat X tournaments. The competitions combined will have a prize pool of $500,000. The eight week season begins on April 3 and ends on June 12 in Burbank, California. Those finals will give out a prize pool of $200,000, double the $100,000 prize of last season’s finals. Intelligence firm SuperData Research projects esports will generate $2 billion in revenue by 2018, so these tournaments help Mortal Kombat X be a part of that growing scene.
