1. Global Tournament Operators

As we’ve said many times in the past, tournament operators and their business in Halo are a tremendous part of what we believe makes for a long term and sustainable ecosystem. At the same time, Halo esports has a global community of all different shapes and sizes, as well as various needs and characteristics that are endemic to that region.

2. Online Platform

The other part of this tournament operator ecosystem is online platform. After a long process of vetting multiple online tournament platforms, we’re thrilled to reveal that Faceit will be the host for all Official HCS online tournaments for Halo Infinite.

3. Broadcast Info

As we’ve always stated, viewership is at the core of esports and for Halo is a critical metric that we use to measure the success of the scene. The broadcast is course one of the core components of this and we wanted to share our plans and updates here, which we are very excited about.

4. Format Overview

The Halo Championship Series format is built on open entry where players make their way up the regional and then global ladder, all on the way towards finding the best team at the Halo World Championship.

5. ROADMAP

Now that you know the format and various event types, let’s get into the roadmap itself. It was a very ambitious goal to layout the entire first year of HCS tournaments at launch, but it was important to us that everyone in the ecosystem had all of the dates from the very beginning. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

6. HANDBOOK AND CODE OF CONDUCT

You can think of the handbook as the full guide for competitors. It contains a breakdown of age limits and eligible countries for each region, high level rules and format for all events, general rules for the league, as well as information on maps and modes settings.

7. PRIZING AND CROWDFUNDING

Today, we’re excited to announce that prizing for the first season of the HCS for Halo Infinite will be the highest base pool ever for Halo and will be starting at $3,000,000 before crowdfunding.

EVENT DETAILS

We're kicking off the first LAN of the new year at the NA Regional Finals in Anaheim, California! North America's best teams will go head-to-head for $125,000 and all the glory. Will Cloud9 continue their dominance, or will we see a new victor?

TEAMS IN ATTENDANCE

As announced on the HCS Twitter, we are no longer able to feature a live in-person audience and the open portion of competition had to be played online in the form of a Qualifier.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The format for Anaheim is quite close to the original format and should be familiar to players and fans alike.
