Gonzalez would later attend EVO 2011 and defeat Noah Solis using a team of Amaterasu, Ryu, and Albert Wesker. Gonzalez also placed Top 8 in Mortal Kombat during that event, getting 4th place using Reptile. He was knocked into losers by Eric "JOP" Akins, and then eliminated by Giuseppe "REO" Grosso.
