Turner and IMG’s esports brand ELEAGUE has partnered with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to air a two-hour special on TBS on April 17 featuring the recent Mortal Kombat 11 championship event Final Kombat 2020.
Final Kombat was one of the last live esports competitions to take place before the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pushed events to either cancel, postpone, or move online. The tournament took place on March 8 and featured a $100K USD prize pool. Due to coronavirus concerns, the organizers canceled the Last Chance Qualifier tournament which would have taken place on March 7, and did not allow live spectators into the competition venue.
