The Format:

The main event will be a Halo Infinite 4v4 Multiplayer LAN, with in-game settings matching HCS as closely as possible. We strongly recommend you read the “Designing the Halo Esports Ecosystem” blog on HaloWaypoint to get the feel for what 343 Industries and the Competitive Insights team are trying to create with the competitive multiplayer experience in Halo Infinite. Complete ruleset and game types/maps can be found on the event wiki. The entire event will be played onsite at the Lake Charles Civic Center.

We will be using Challonge and our Discord server to orchestrate the entire event. You can get a head start on preparing for the event by joining our Challonge Community and our Discord Server by clicking the links above.

The event will consist of a first phase of Round Robin pool play, in which each team will play a series of games against all the opponents in their pool. The results of the pool phase will be used to seed an elimination tournament.

The Hardware:

In the interest of attempting to align with the HCS philosophy, this event will be produced fully cross-platform and cross-input. That means you and anyone on your team can play with your own Xbox Controller or mouse and keyboard and USB headset, or you can use our controllers, headsets, and keyboards.

The game stations will be a mix of Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Each player within one game will be playing on identical hardware, but from station to station the hardware will vary. The main stage game station will be state-of-the art AMD PCs that far exceed the specs necessary to play Halo at 120FPS at 1920x1080. As the tournament goes on, the lower performance PCs and Series S stations will be eliminated and only the top performing PCs and Series X stations will be used. Any USB mouse, keyboard, controller, or headset may be used on any of the stations. We recommend you bring your own, but it’s not required, we will have plenty for you to use.
