The HCS has been the premier competitive league for Halo esports since 2014 and has spanned several Halo titles from Halo 2: Anniversary to Halo 5: Guardians with prize pools reaching as high as $1,000,000. HCS matches have traditionally consisted of various modes of 4 vs 4 gameplay including Capture the Flag, King of the Hill and Slayer. Halo esports lead Tahir ‘Tashi’ Hasandjekic recently confirmed that the date and venue for the first HCS event have been booked and will take place in December of 2021.
Halo Infinite and participation in the HCS will be a crucial component of Spacestation Gaming. Announcements for our initial roster as well as other involvement surrounding the game are forthcoming and we can't wait to share everything we've been working on since being invited to the league over two years ago. As we do with every title that we participate in, we plan to support the community as much as we support our own players and look forward to adding our voice and style to such a storied and renowned scene.
