The Halo Championship Series: Open Circuit is in full swing & round 2 is headed to Las Vegas. Gear up Spartans, the battle wages on!
HCS Orange County: 4v4 & Free-For-All
Earlier this month we set up shop at the Esports Arena in Santa Ana, California for the HCS Orange County 4v4 & FFA and had a great time with the ASTRO Family. Starting Friday, the Free-For-All saw some intense battles as top Halo competitors pushed through heat after heat to find our top 6 individual talents. In the end Bubudubu rose to the occasion, being crowned our HCS Orange County FFA Champion!
The 4v4 kicked off early Saturday with 2 separate brackets: Open Circuit Amateur Teams and Pro Groups. The tension was high and emotions were raw after 2 days of battle at the Esports Arena, but the ASTRO Spartans pressed on! After a full day of grinding, the winning teams from both brackets began rising to the occasion, sealing their spot to enter the bracket on Championship Sunday.
Moving on to Championship Sunday the remaining teams we’re pitted against each other to determine who would win the HCS Open Circuit LAN and their share of $20,000. After some intense semi-final bouts, the Grand Finals were pleasantly surprised to witness a classic eSports feud – OpTic vs EnVyUs. In the end, OpTic defeated EnVyUs in a heated best of 7 thanks to some clutch plays by the squad, but not without a fight! GGWP to all the competitors and thanks for an amazing weekend!
