WHAT'S NEXT?
Later this month, Season 1 of Halo Infinite esports will culminate at our capstone event of the year - the Halo World Championship! Boasting a $1,000,000 prize pool, the Halo World Championship will feature the world's best teams as they throw down for all the glory.

It’s important to us however that the event feels welcome to Halo fans whether you enjoy social multiplayer, the rich story and lore, the epic campaigns, or everything in-between. In spirit, we want the Halo World Championship to feel like a “Halo Fest” of sorts – the destination each year that has something for all Halo fans, where you can play Halo with your friends and family, hear the latest news, and take part in fun activities.

4V4 TOURNAMENT FORMAT
HCS Orlando will feature the standard Major format, detailed below.
- Open Bracket: This will be a double elimination bracket where the top 8 teams will move on to the next stage in the tournament. The top 4 from the winner’s bracket moving forward into pool play, and the top 4 from the elimination bracket (or lower bracket) moving on to the championship bracket (starting in the elimination bracket portion).
- Pool Play: We will be providing accommodation and travel stipends for 16 qualified teams made up of teams from North America, Mexico, Europe, and Australia / New Zealand. Teams will be drawn into 4 pools of 4 where they will be joined with the top 4 teams from the Open Bracket to play in a single round robin format. The Top 2 teams from each pool will go into the winner’s portion of the championship bracket. The 3rd place team will go into round 3 of the elimination portion of the championship bracket. The 4th place team will go into round 2 of the elimination portion of the championship bracket. And finally, the 5th place team in each pool will go into the 1st round of the elimination portion of the championship bracket where they will start in the first round and will face off against teams coming from the elimination portion of the open bracket.
- Championship Bracket: Ultimately, a 24 team double elimination championship bracket-style will determine the tournament winner. This is the culmination of the both the open bracket and pool play, the winner will take home the lion’s share of the $250,000 starting prize pool. Think you’ve got what it takes to make the championship bracket?
- Free-For-All: Once the open bracket has concluded, we will be hosting a Free-For-All tournament with a $5,000 prize pool open to all of those in attendance.
