This season was top tier. Despite some of the issues with the game, its crazy how much the meta has changed since the game launched. It has kept the game fresh and interesting imo. Can't wait for next season
Ninja 3-0ing Mighty Unjust's Kenshi of all Kenshi players was the highlight for me. But we gotta put some mad respect on my man Rewind for taking down the same player's REIKO, with GENERAL SHAO! This first tournament was insane, awesome content
What's insane is that we might get Sonicfox in the COTR. That prize money was so juicy to pass on. $8000 prize pool is insane. Great work D3stroyer and Caboose
SonicFox was in the chat during the week 7 and people were hoping he would join in for season 8 but it didn't happen unfortunately. We still had massive names in the finals and it was nice having Bandinoz being a godlike competitor as someone nobody knew about.
I was jumping out of my seat off Rewinds bracket reset. Those couple of execution errors were TOUGH but MASSIVE respect the competitors and especially you guys for putting on these types of matches.
This first season of COTR brought the absolute best hype, I cannot wait for us to get started on season 2!! AND THIS TOP 8 WAS OUT OF CONTROL!! What a stellar finale omg 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥 Everyone went crazy!!!
this whole 8 weeks has been a blast to watch , and this was an epic finish !! Last time i was this hyped to watch Mortal Kombat was when Moonbreathing ran it back on the Raiden to win. Thanks to Destroyer FGC and Caboose for running this thing , you guys are awesome!!
He doesn't have overhead low mix, but he has legit 50/50's with number of hit mix, frame traps, staggers, unreactable auto shimmy's, crazy Strike Throw ShmMIX do to his Throws doing 30-40% and loop and 50% touches with probably #3 Zoning in the game only 3rd zoning to #1 Kitana/Lao and #2 Reiko/Tremor or Stryker. Liu has 6 frame punisher so he's one of only 3 characters that can punish 90% of the cast on -7 moves. He doesn't struggle at any range. So he doesn't have Johnny's crazy pressure or Raiden's Chip or Kenshi's Sento pressure but he's at least Top 8 My Top 8 is: Kenshi, Johnny, Sindel, Raiden, Ashrah, Geras, Kitana, Liu Kang.
Liu has one of the best shimmie games that leads into full combo throws, great stagger pressure, one of the best AA's in the game, top 5 zoning, and some of the best synergy with Kung Lao assist. Character is definitely not being carried by ninja lol; that's a wild take.
@@CameronDC-Grimes I main Liu and I can tell you a lot of this is false but I do still put him top 10 somewhere. But not top 5. You will never get over 27% with a throw and without a bar in the corner the most you will get is 22%-23%. Liu literally never touches anyone for 50% unless he’s spending 2 bars and a kameo in the corner but thats most characters so nothing special. Most he can get mid screen is like 34%-38%, pretty average. 6 frame normal is good but it’s so stubby it really isn’t useful a lot of the time. A lot of moves have pushback. Saying Liu doesn’t struggle at any range is wild. A lot of the cast’s buttons become broken against Liu because he is so stubby. The midrange is the last place Liu wants to be. Either in your face or far away and he’s good. Don’t believe me? Go fight an ashrah or reiko that has good fundamentals. Ninja carried the hell out of him these tourneys. I’m impressed.
@@itzBankS this is a inexperienced way of looking at character balance. A character can be good but you can’t evaluate a character without looking at the rest of the cast. Look at the top 5 and tell me if you feel the same way lmao.
The best FGC creator! so proud of you bro you've come so far I still remember watching your tourneys way back when, it's about the love, the players and the community. You and Caboose are the Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on the commentary. Shoutout to my Canadian brother Caboose so happy I was able to contribute to this tournament and will continue to support always. You Impress me. Already hyped for season 2 gonna be the first contributor for the pool for sure! This series is more entertaining than most majors to keep it a thousand!
Goes to show you that hard work pays off. The NRS scene is alive and well . If WB give us ONE skin for tournament pool, it would be a million dollar. Shout out to Flossy Carter and Panther .
2 of the 3 players in the final is great. And the other popular online players as well. Justnasty, tweedy, pulse, themightyunjust. These guys keep the community jumping. Helluva tournament. Character selection was great. All around greatness. 3rd place match might’ve been my favorite. Just silence watching great gameplay. Bravo
Comgrats to ninja. I was really rooting for rewind tho. In mkx his raiden displacer had everyone sweating. Fantastic tournament by destroyer. Thank you for hosting such an amazing event
I think Ninja is obviously one of the best, but Tweedy, Dragon, Rewind are all capable of taking it. I've seen Ninja play Xombat, Tweedy, Rewind, Dragon and it goes either way most of the time.
Shit went full circle with Ninja coming back to win a tournament organised by Destroyer. Shout out to you, Destroyer!!! You're a fucking G - Caboose too. Cant wait for season 2.
Been here since the first COTR tournaments you hosted for MKX during the dead period of Injustice 2. Insane to see how far it's progressed. Big ups Destroyer and Caboose, especially Caboose for helping out on the commentating. Destroyer used to go ham by himself before haha.
So cool to hear flossy being mentioned in the fgc community I remember watching his videos and he would mention or stream the sip and kick ass on mk moments always been a legend in the tech community making his way in for a second belt in another division
what a finalle, this was beautiful rewind showing all his potential against one of the best around the world congrats to both and destroyer, caboose thnaks for this amazing tournaments
Rewind definitely held his own, ninja is a robot man, no shame in losing to that caliber of a player after forcing the reset. Let’s get another tournament rolling ASAP😂😂 Maybe we can sneak Sonic in here next time 😂😂
What an insane tournament. WOWSERS. Nice to see the kind of action we used to get with MKX. It's good to watch NinjaKiller at his best again. I just hoped for a Raiden like MoonBreathing's in MKX. Anyways, Arnold's first speech of 2024 was also great. Destroyer & Caboose, thank you for this great colab.
Yall said that same exact statement before. "U gotta play perfect against ninjakilla" Rewind played Phenomenal though rt. That was true high level gameplay. Good shit to everyone
So hype, so funny, I'll definitely try to donate to the next one guys. Wait i had to come back and edit this, Caboose doing the Baraka "I hate my life" line had me dyin!
It's either Ninjakilla parents are very prayerful or there's something going on somewhere. That guy is a beast!!! All the combo drops and heat from Rewind was just too much... Congratulations to Ninjakilla... Great set!!!
Yo. I have to say this. Ninja is seriously crazy. Destroyer said that Ninja Fuzzied Tweedy overhead. He didn't fuzzy that junk. He reacted. Had he fuzzied Baraka overhead he would've ducked a little bit longer then stood up to block the overhead. He actually reacted to that overhead. With cat like reflexes. Smh.
SEASON 2 WILL START UP VERY SOON!
THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT ❤❤❤
Can’t wait. Hopefully, I’ll be able to attend next season. This season was crazy hyped dawg.! Yaw did it big straight out tha gate.! 🔥🔥💪🏾
This season was top tier. Despite some of the issues with the game, its crazy how much the meta has changed since the game launched. It has kept the game fresh and interesting imo. Can't wait for next season
Best tournament of MK1 on RUclips. Can’t wait for season 2
I meant to donate that 50$ to the players 😂 but It’s well deserved to be In your hands for hosting COTR every week. Thank you for an awesome season.
@@snakeinthesky BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WENT AHEAD AND PUT $50 INTO THE SEASON 2 POT!
Let’s not forget. Most of us discovered NinjaKilla because of the MKX tournaments Destroyer used to host years ago.
Everything has come full circle
Damn that’s a good point actually forgot about that fact
Yeah i remember that day
Back when I thought he was Mexican for some reason
Thanks for acknowledging that. I didn't know.
The implication of everyone having to win an entire top 8 to be here is wild. Destroyer and Caboose really got something going with COTR
An entire tournament
$8,000!? That’s amazing y’all. Kinda sad WB only put together $10,000 for the last major MK11 tournament. This COTR was absolute insanity though
Rewind is such a monster. My dude went crazy
He basically had the a better chance of winning it but he dropped too many important combos
@@jay305ify facts
Rewind HAS to clutch a evo win.. I'm waiting on it.
@@donovonlee6434 he has an evo win tho...inj2
Monster at mashing and being annoying .Ninja is a monster . This guyvis just a masher . A good one il give him that .
Ninja 3-0ing Mighty Unjust's Kenshi of all Kenshi players was the highlight for me. But we gotta put some mad respect on my man Rewind for taking down the same player's REIKO, with GENERAL SHAO! This first tournament was insane, awesome content
Ninja realizing Lui will take him to the top is everything
Did u cream your pants
Zoomers try not to call something they like “everything” challenge.
Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE
@@ellis7622Ok? It’s not a big deal though.
who tf is Lui 😂
@@ForeverBlazedlui kang 🐉
What's insane is that we might get Sonicfox in the COTR. That prize money was so juicy to pass on. $8000 prize pool is insane. Great work D3stroyer and Caboose

That's one stupid ass question guy@@Mohaking_Og

Just IMAGINE IF COTR gets BIG SPONSORS AND BECOMES OFFLINE AS WELL at huge venues! Willldddd
Congrats on a great season, thanks for all the high level MK Hype 💪🏼🔥🤝🏻
Rewind dropping those combos where heartbreaking
yeah, he choked, he definetly couldve won
I watched this LIVE and this was SUPER HYPE!! Yall got me screaming in the house at the clutch moments!!! Omg!!! Thanks Destroyer and Caboose!!!
I don’t think Liu is low tier but ninja DEFINITELY carried this character these past tournaments 😂😂
He doesn't have overhead low mix, but he has legit 50/50's with number of hit mix, frame traps, staggers, unreactable auto shimmy's, crazy Strike Throw ShmMIX do to his Throws doing 30-40% and loop and 50% touches with probably #3 Zoning in the game only 3rd zoning to #1 Kitana/Lao and #2 Reiko/Tremor or Stryker.

Ninjakillas movement is insane. He schmooving
This was so hype! Can’t wait to support the next COTR!!!

No doubt, their godlike commentary compliments the amazing gameplay we get to watch
Anyone thinks Ninjakilla an Alien outta Mars?
Destroyer your content creation and commentary is the best! COTR is the most electrifying tournament in the scene!
Legit one of the funniest dudessssss
Goes to show you that hard work pays off. The NRS scene is alive and well . If WB give us ONE skin for tournament pool, it would be a million dollar. Shout out to Flossy Carter and Panther .
This is like a PPV heavyweight fight, wrestlemania, super bowl.
Congrats Destroyer. Despite the server issues you pushed through with Caboose 🙌
This was great content. EVO needs to gets Destoryer to commentate.
Most stacked mk1 online tournament yet🔥
I wanted Rewind to win so hard! He played so well but dropped too many combos. For sure it's definitely not easy. Congrats Rewind
2 of the 3 players in the final is great. And the other popular online players as well. Justnasty, tweedy, pulse, themightyunjust. These guys keep the community jumping. Helluva tournament. Character selection was great. All around greatness. 3rd place match might’ve been my favorite. Just silence watching great gameplay. Bravo
Rewind woke up the sleeping dragon the moment he got the reset in grand finals ☠complete 3-0 after that.
Comgrats to ninja. I was really rooting for rewind tho. In mkx his raiden displacer had everyone sweating. Fantastic tournament by destroyer. Thank you for hosting such an amazing event
That was so dope. Thank you Destroyer and Caboose for putting together and commentating such an excellent tournament.
44:44 That Rambo impression though! 😂😂😂
It’s dope to watch these high level games because you learn how to deal with things that may be currently giving you problems in matches.
I was waiting for this bro!!! thanks for giving me my Ultimate fix.
🤘🏾💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When I saw the bracket I knew it was gonna be rewind v ninja
This just proves to me that sonic and ninja and the twins are cut above the rest
Never any doubt about that. If anyone of them are in a tournament. They are winning for sure
and tekkenmaster
These tournaments are sick it’s like all the fun to watch players enter cotr
Just want to say, when Reiko did brutal and Destroyer said Nemean Cestus, as a god of war superfan, I smiled. It was right, Destroyer.
“I’m all about aesthetic…”
Mains Kollector in MK11 😂
And it continues with Reiko.
Now that was fun to watch! The most skilled guys to bless Mk1.
For the win screen on Match 8, I think the idea is that Stryker is Braka's bodyguard, and Braka is VIP.
When you see ninja there, it’s obvious he wins.
It wasn't that easy for him tho 😅
Literallt
@@omgratboy44 It was kinda easy, but not as easy as the ECT which was more stacked.
I think Ninja is obviously one of the best, but Tweedy, Dragon, Rewind are all capable of taking it. I've seen Ninja play Xombat, Tweedy, Rewind, Dragon and it goes either way most of the time.
You also gotta factor in the fact that it was online too
Kenshi’s grab whiff that resets sento should be banned from these tournaments. No way it’s intentional by NRS
Shit went full circle with Ninja coming back to win a tournament organised by Destroyer.
Shout out to you, Destroyer!!! You're a fucking G - Caboose too. Cant wait for season 2.
That was the most HYPE TOP 8!!!! Thank you Destroyer and Caboose for the amazing commentary!!! I can’t wait for Season 2!!!
Nice 1 Ninja!! Big U Dnt impress me to Caboose and Destroyer! Looking 4ward to season 2.
I don't feel as bad getting hit by Stryker grenades all the time.
MightyUnjust has been uninteresting to watch since Injustice 2
The best mk1 tournament this year hands down.. Even though this online .. thanks to Destroyer and Caboose
Been here since the first COTR tournaments you hosted for MKX during the dead period of Injustice 2. Insane to see how far it's progressed. Big ups Destroyer and Caboose, especially Caboose for helping out on the commentating. Destroyer used to go ham by himself before haha.
LETS GOOOOO FINALLY LETS KEEP THE TRAIN GOING ILL EVEN DONATE JUST TO KEEP THIS FIRE CONTENT GOING
Tweedy plays like a kombat league demon
Insane grand finals ggs all around, thanks for putting this together destroyer
I think the nerf I'd give Kenshi is make Sento refresh cost 2 bar
U should NOT be allowed to give any game development advice
Take the sento stance out of the game
Def needs to be nerfed. Being honest.
@@AgentGhostRealnah
So cool to hear flossy being mentioned in the fgc community I remember watching his videos and he would mention or stream the sip and kick ass on mk moments always been a legend in the tech community making his way in for a second belt in another division
You impressed Kotal Kahn with this Destroyer, and that's not even close to be easy
35:44 I’m so glad he gave Justnasty 10 respect that match, homie really gave him time to fight fairly when he was afc 👏 BIG move right there! 👏
Love watching tweedy get bodied
I always love CoTR because of the Caboose and Destroyer commentary😂😂. "They do impress me"
Excited for season 2 bro!! These 8 weeks have been CRAZY!! I'm praying they get crossplay right because I'm trynna enter 😂
Rewind top10 mortal kombat players of all time
Easily one of the best tourneys I've seen since this game came out. Keep it up!
what a finalle, this was beautiful rewind showing all his potential against one of the best around the world congrats to both and destroyer, caboose thnaks for this amazing tournaments
The funniest part about the commentary was we gonna get your apple juice
"He's popping a fatality! - He's popping a fatality!"
Destroyer all the way. Hope my boy RewindNV did well, about to watch the best movie this year.
Tweedy eating dirt, hah 😂
Rewind definitely held his own, ninja is a robot man, no shame in losing to that caliber of a player after forcing the reset. Let’s get another tournament rolling ASAP😂😂
Maybe we can sneak Sonic in here next time 😂😂
Dude, this top 8 was pure insanity. So hype, super sick.
Seeing ninjakilla play is like watching a Bruce Lee movie
What an insane tournament. WOWSERS.
Nice to see the kind of action we used to get with MKX. It's good to watch NinjaKiller at his best again. I just hoped for a Raiden like MoonBreathing's in MKX.
Anyways, Arnold's first speech of 2024 was also great.
Destroyer & Caboose, thank you for this great colab.
I finally watched a COTR tournament live, and it was sick!
Thanks yall in down w keeping this kind of fun going
Mk fans: lui kang is low tier
Ninjakilla: yeah but im not!
no one thinks liu is low tier lmao
No one has ever said Liu is low tier in MK1.
Liu is high tier with Kung Lao for sure. No one ever says Liu is low tier. He ain’t too 5 sure. But he is still pretty good.
He also only won cause rewind dropped combos, stop gassing in
Liu Kang is Top 7 on every Top Players tier list!
I appreciate you both destroyer and caboose. Keep on killin
Watched this live and it was super hype. No wonder the prize pool increased live. Great shouts to Ninja and Rewind. They didn't disappoint me
Finally caught the stream live last night.
It was incredible!
Looking forward to the next season.
my buddy mains Reiko and OH MY GOD that command grab is sooo stressful to deal with. GGs to all the players!
This is better than EVO !! Great job guys !! Highest level MK 1 action right here !
Ok for the McDonald's, if you are not getting the Diuble Quarter Pounder you just shouldnt go to McDonald's haha
21:13 damn even Destroyer roasting Tweedy
Yall said that same exact statement before. "U gotta play perfect against ninjakilla" Rewind played Phenomenal though rt. That was true high level gameplay. Good shit to everyone
So many drops by rewind man gg to Ninjakilla man played amazing
brutal destroyer, thanks for everything
Crazy 8 weeks and dope finale. And the best commentary of course to top it off 💪🏾
I watched this on twitch but fell asleep halfway through😂😂😂 hype matches
I feel like NinjaKilla let him win to reset the bracket just to show him who's best, hahahaha....😅😅 Are you not entertained...????
So hype, so funny, I'll definitely try to donate to the next one guys. Wait i had to come back and edit this, Caboose doing the Baraka "I hate my life" line had me dyin!
It was a awesome tourney 🙌. Watched every match live. Thank you both 🙏🙏🙏. From which VPN these subs are send… 😒
One fight better than the other, thank you to everyone who participated and organized this SPECTACLE.
It's either Ninjakilla parents are very prayerful or there's something going on somewhere. That guy is a beast!!! All the combo drops and heat from Rewind was just too much... Congratulations to Ninjakilla... Great set!!!
Yo. I have to say this. Ninja is seriously crazy. Destroyer said that Ninja Fuzzied Tweedy overhead. He didn't fuzzy that junk. He reacted.

Ninja's Mk1 Liu outchea looking like Mkx Liu. Te speed he's playing at is cazy
Thank you guys for this amazing tournament! Good vibes and great games. Would love to see some more likes on this video. You deserve it!
0:05 "every single one of these players gave it their all" = it's not their fault they lost, Ninjakilla was participating 😭
Rewind drop so many combos and still played amazing
Rewind be training wit sonicfox🔥🔥 wouldn’t expect nothing less of em
@1:42:30 Ninja, wtf was that?!? How do you send the regular dragon without the flying kick?!????? Whaaaaaaaaàaat?????
Flying kick only happens if the dragon hits the character. Tweedy ducked it.
No matter who tweedy goes against he also puts on entertaining matches that dude is amazing
Justnasty is calling scorpion to take the hit 😂😂 just nasty indeed
Salute 🫡 to your channel. This was a great tournament. Very entertaining. 💯
