I think it could make it to one more Evo. I mean as long as it stays right behind SF4/SF5, Smash and UMVC3, it'll be okay. But yeah hard to tell how strong it'll stay, since its the newest game at the tournament and only the 5th most popular.

It all depends really on how big Tekken 7 is, and whether Guilty Gear, Killer Instinct and Persona Arena hold.

Evo 2016 will probably look like

SF5
SF4
MVC3
Tekken 7 (it needs at least one console Evo appearance)
Smash/Smash WiiU (both?)

So that's already potentially 6 games. If we go by Evo 2015, which has 8 games on the main streams, that means there's two spots left. Could MKX beat out GG, KI and Persona? I think so. Especially Ki and Persona, unless MS has some kinda KI deal going.

Also, who knows, maybe Evo will be even bigger next year and they manage to stream 10 different games. You also have to remember MKX is a Warner Bros/Netherrealm game so they can probably provide some kinda incentives ($$$$) for the Evo guys to run it one more time.

And honestly, I think it's a great game. It's not QUITE there yet (SF4/MVC3/SF5 level) because it's got some pretty big flaws in its design philosophy, but it can still give us some hype top 8s. MK11 could be the true masterpiece in the MK series if the guys at NR manage to keep all of the good things about MKX and fix the bad (focus on 50/50s/corner crushing)

MKX (M O N E Y B O Y S, sunday final)
Xrd (Main anime game, saturday final)
Melee ( V I E W E R B A S E B O Y S , sunday final)
Killer Instinct ( Season 3 / New Update hype, saturday final.)
Smash 4. (saturday final)

Nine games, Tekken 7 substitute for Ultimax unless Atlus manages to get the game patched. The next BlazBlue game isn't coming here until ~2017 at best. There's no way Wizard is going to ignore the success of Smash 4's/Melee's viewerbase so they're locks. Next KOF game is still a while away.

EVO is getting bigger and bigger so it's very well possible for ten games to make it. But I doubt it. What would be the tenth game? UNIST? God I hope so. :(
