Calling all Spartans!
Gfinity is looking for the BEST players in Europe as we are once again bringing the Halo World Championship Series to you live from the Gfinity Esports Arena from 23rd–25th February 2018. With $25,000 up for grabs to be shared between the top six finalist teams, does your squad have what it takes to get the $10,000 top spot?
For newcomers looking to make a name for themseleves, we will host a new Free-For-All tournament for lone wolves looking to make a statement of their own in the Halo scene and win the healthy $5k cash prize.
As part of our commitment to make this the best Halo tournament ever, the top 4 highest seeded teams from the 4 online qualification cups in the weeks prior to the LAN event will get paid travel and accommodation to the event. Also, Halo will be releasing AR and Magnum skins to represent each country competing. This will mean that UK players can don the Union Jack flag while competing on an international stage.
Broadcasting live from the Gfinity Esports Arena, the competition will feature some of the best talent in Europe. Will we see the highest ever European placed team, Infused, walk away with the title again or will a newcomer take the crown?
