Fyi, we may be behind in the race, but that doesnt mean that KI won’t be there. We’ll know that answer at the END of the charity drive.
Also, for those that haven’t donated yet to get KI for EVO because you think it only benefit competitors, well just earlier today, a new KI player said he was "watching some KI evo tournaments and stuff "… I’ll stop there. There will be tons of great KI tournaments, but I bring up him as he specifically stated how he was watching KI footage AT evo! 
Just saying …
Although, KI has a ton of life whether it’s at EVO or not, pushing KI for EVO could be worth the fight/donations as it can be a great way to bring in new players to playing this awesome game!
