The finals are here are and we have our twelve teams! I have been looking forward to this since last year. I made it a point to watch as much of each qualifier as I could. I am a big Halo fan in general, and I love watching the pros play this game. I love it so much I will be watching the stream the whole weekend.
I made this thread in the hopes of having a place to discuss the matches, the teams, the streams and the announcers. Basically the whole thing. The twitch chat is horrendous, and reddit doesn't have much traffic for talking about these events, at least from what I saw. Any discussion about the Gold pack codes, that we will hopefully be seeing needs to go here please: Gold Packs For The Finals...We Hope. Thank you, this will help us stay on topic in both places and not risk the possibility the threads being locked.
In case you aren't up to speed. Here is a link for a refresher, Las Vegas Qualifier Recap. Also there is some good stuff they let us know in the 3.16 update. Keep in mind you have to scroll pretty far down past all the Halo Wars 2 stuff to get to the HCS info.
The main info on schedule, and the break down of the teams is here HaloWC 2017 Finals Preview.
In a nutshell here are the times to watch: There is more detail about the matches and the times in the Finals Preview.
Friday – Group Play – 10AM PT | 1PM ET | 6PM GMT
Saturday – Double elimination bracket begins – 10AM PT | 1PM ET | 6PM GMT
Championship Sunday – Final bracket matches – 10AM PT | 1PM ET | 6PM GMT
Here is where to watch:
Bravo stream: twitch.tv/ESL_Halo, beam.pro/HaloWC2, facebook.com/ESLHalo
Main stream: beam.pro/Halo, twitch.tv/halo, facebook.com/Halo and esl.twitter.com
In the 3.16 update there was a hint of another platform that they will also be broadcasting on. (I don't know if they have announced what that is yet, but I will keep an eye our for it, and add it when I find it.) The other platform will be on twitter. There are 7 different places to watch. This is going to be interesting to see how this all turns out in terms of the broadcast itself.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to watch most of the final matches, and my team made it to the world final, but didn't win the qualifiers. It's all good though. I believe they will take it again! I have taken time off from work to watch every bit of these finals! Am I the only one out there that takes Halo to this extreme.....nah, I can't be.
Let me know who else will be watching, who you want/think will win it all, and discuss a little gameplay as is happens.
Are you guys as ready as I am!?
Oh yeah, don't forget about Halo.gg
Edit: There is more info here: Community Update: March Madness with some additional videos and whatnot. Make sure to check it out!
