Official HCS events coming soon

https://clips.twitch.tv/GoldenSillySandpiperAMPTropPunch Super interesting, wonder how it would have played out if it happened. Final Boss could have then had a claim to having arguably the best rosters in Halo/COD history. Hope to somehow see the name come back one day, maybe even MLG granting permission for it to be used in one of these grassroots comps.

Saiyan just went OFF

The Pro League setup by itself was not a healthy way to support a scene, which was where most of the complaints that I saw came from. An Online Pro League should always be accompanied by Open Events (which didn't happen under ESL). Teams were locked out of competing against top teams for months on end, with their only chances being online qualifiers to play in an online league. I really enjoyed the Pro League as a non-us viewer as it was easy to catch up on and watch the games you were interested in at the end of the day. Hopefully in the next Halo we can have both!

Super keen to see Snipedown and Saiyan playing together.

The first step would be to try and match their aggression. Maybe Snipedown, Mikwen, Spartan, Saiyan? Will be fun to see what changes are made regardless.

Should be going to a game 7, Rec threw away that first CTF. Great series.

Don't care how easy the sniper is in H5, there's not a better sight than Snipedown taking heads.

He was better when we had AR's.

Man, all Rec needed was for one of the two players in front of Snipedown to turn around and finish off Lethul. Heartbreaking.

Will Rec/Tox be played today?

100-0

Been waiting all morning for this game, hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Personally as a spectator Group Stages where 75% of the teams go through (with these teams known as soon as the groups are announced pretty much) just makes the first day non essential for viewing. Someone made a WC reference before and it's spot on. Some groups will be harder, but for me that makes the viewing experience better. Can understand as a competitor why you wouldn't like the format though.

Over in COD Eunited picked up a team of talented U18's (inelgible for CWL) as their reserve team for the main team to scrim and work on strategies with. Definitely a step in the right direction, and also gives them first access to talented players already in their system once they turn 18.

Holyyyyyyy shit what a game

I think the overall Halo community can be quite toxic. Whenever anything like this happens (or anything really) everyone with their own personal agendas are quick to put the boot in. This isn't just in relation to TB either. It's a shame to see Moses leave, but I hope it's just an overreaction to something minimal and he comes back soon. As always, everyone can be the change they want to see. I'd love to see Moses share his insights on the ANZ scene (I'm from here and know VERY little, as do most of other Aus halo fans I know), rather than just stopping by with a stream link (although valued). Keen for some NA Halo this weekend though, hoping for an Envy win!

A real shame. Hopefully it doesn't affect viewership too much. Crimsix did an AMA recently and mentioned that the COD team weren't happy with the way things were with the org. EG Lxthul coming back?

Don't know if its related to this, but I saw Showtime and Cratos popping off on Twitter about some ref after Showtime was kicked out.

Can you save the internet next please

They went with Franchises so that the scene would have more stability. Say Outlaws were actually Optic Gaming, and for some reason OG had to pull out of the scene, the whole team and brand is lost. If they're named Outlaws and OG have to pull out of the scene, then its easier for investors to come in and take over the Outlaws brand.
