MKII Random Select Out Haven Tournament Youtube VOD February 2026
February 16th is an Important Date for KN

Today marks 20 years since the passing of Ryan Hutnick, AKA “The Prophet.” He introduced Shock to FGC Tournaments all the way back in the summer of 2000. The FGC still in its infancy coming off the heels of the arcade era and truly a grassroots phase of expansion. Without Ryan, who knows where the scene would be today, as he was a pioneer for the NRS community’s recognition. He would cross paths with MK_TomBrady over 30 years ago during the initial Mall Arcade Tournament scene for vanilla MK3.
It’s also the 15 year anniversary of Shock, along with MKTomBrady, Konqrr, EGP_KrayzieBone, Check4900 and others in the MK Community, beginning Beta Testing MK9 at NRS, in what would be a first for MK development, bringing players from the outside directly to balance the game in addition to salaried testers.
My how time flies.

Happy Birthday KombatNetwork!

It was on February 1st, 2011 that the brainstorming and naming for the KombatNetwork concept began within the admin and mods of TestYourMight. The website would be launched on April 19th, 2011 and our first stream under the KN banner on May 14th, 2011. Since then, KN has represented NRS games in the FGC either streaming, playing, sponsoring or providing equipment at over 500 events. Previously, KombatNetwork’s roots were the competitive MK forum known as Ultimatemk.com in March of 2006, and then further back in August of 2002 as DarkTemplarz.com. These sites still exist to this day serving their original purpose. Currently, we are the main streamer for MKNJ monthlies and also provide occasional nightly streams through Mikemetroid and Shock on twitch.tv/kombatnetwork and youtube.com/kombatnetwork. Our upcoming events can be found in the navigation, as well as staff and player info, past and present.
