This weekend is the Halo World Championship North American Regional Finals. The top 8 teams will qualify for the 2016 Halo World Championship for a shot at the $2 million + prize pool. Here are my predictions.
After a crucial Last Chance Qualifier that would determine who the 16th seeded team would be for Regionals, OpTic Gaming was able to win the tournament and qualify. This was definitely not an easy event for them.
The past few months have been rough for OpTic Gaming’s Halo team. Several bad placings and roster changes have taken their toll and OpTic Halo is on the brink of not being able to make it to regionals.
X Games Aspen starts tomorrow and the top 6 Halo teams from North America, as well as the top 2 teams from Europe, will be competing. They are there not only to win a medal, but to make Halo history.
eSports is all about creating a fair competitive environment. Both teams are given the same weapons and opportunities and neither side should ever have any kind of hidden advantage over the opposing team.
SoaR Gaming, one of the largest sniping teams in Call of Duty, has now decided to get involved in competitive Halo and sign a team. The roster is currently sitting in 19th place in the NA region. SoaR made the announcement on Twitter.
