For Year 4 of HCS we’ve decided to stay close to the tried-and-true format that Halo’s always had with open events where teams earn points that ultimately help them qualify for the Halo World Championship.
As with last year, tournament administration will be managed by HCS and Esports Engine/EFG and not the teams to avoid conflict of interest.
To see more details about the format and rules – see the HCS 2025 Handbook and Code of Conduct here:
