Drizzy_Dan Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 With the ending of the Halo World Championships now well in our past and Counter-Logic Gaming crowned the victors there have been numerous roster changes in the Halo 5: Guardians pro circuit among many teams. Here are some changes reported from my favorite Halo eSports source, halo.esportspedia.com: March 22nd, following the loss to CLG in HWC, Cratos and Suspector left Team Allegiance. Commonly of Evil Geniuses left this same day and was replaced by Cratos who left ALG. March 23rd, Naded also leaves Allegiance leaving El Town to be the only member left. On April 5th, El Town also left Team Allegiance leaving them without a roster. Naded joined Optic Gaming this same day after a couple of its members left joining Halo 3 vets Ace (who didn't rejoin until April 9th) and Flamesword and competitive player since Halo 2: MaNiaC. April 9th, alongside Ace leaving Team Liquid to rejoin Optic Gaming, Huke and bubu dubu are released from Denial. They didn't leave they were released! The two best players! In wake of this, two days later on April 11th, Huke and bubu dubu join Cratos (previously from Allegiance) and Shooter (previously from a not-well-known team named Winterfox) to create a brand new team named Enigma6. April 14th, two members left Renegades and those spots have been filled by Commonly (previously from EG) and Penguin (previously from eLevate). This thread is for Halo 5: Guardians eSports news, roster changes, tournament and general discussions including favorite teams, players, etc. Personally I've been a fan of Snip3down, Roy, and Lunchbox since Halo 3 and that makes me a pretty big, but disappointed, EG fan. The next event will be a mini-tournament at PAX East on April 24th featuring: Evil Geniuses Snip3down Roy Lunchbox Suspector Team EnVyUs Mikwen Rayne iGotUrPistola eL TowN Enigma6 Huke bubu dubu Cratos Shooter Optic Gaming FlamesworD Ace Naded MaNiaC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depressant Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've never watched pro Halo games, but a lot of the teams are also in CS:GO, so I'll have to watch and see who is my favorite player or team. But right now, I'm rooting for Team EnVyUs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizzy_Dan Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Optic did manage to take a game off of CLG (!!!!!!), even though Frosty had a freaking killtacular in the Rig Strongholds match. So it was 3-1 CLG over OG. The other results were: RNG 3-1 over Enigma6 Envyus 3-0 over Allegiance EG 3-1 over Liquid Most of the losers still looked pretty good or were able to put up a bit of a fight from what I could see. Day 2 matches start tonight again at the same time! Courtesy of Rosedrop on Halo Archive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizzy_Dan Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Here's your HCS Orange Orange County Recap: HCS OC took place on Friday and Saturday with about 20 teams signing up to play and more individual competing in the FFA tournament. To start, Rammy left Team Denial and joined 3sUP with Munoz, Monster, and Prototype. Shooter left Team Allegiance and joined onto Enigma 6. The previous Chatt Shade Squad consisting of boamx, LifeStyle, Nemassist, and Dastroyed was acquired and is now sponsored by Most Wanted Gaming. Most Wanted ended up beating E6 more than once and placed 4th at their first event at HCS Orange County. For anyone that thinks boamx might be a familiar name, he was the MVP on his team in the BTBnet $1000 Summer Shootout tournament and Matclan and I interviewed him on-stream. Most Wanted took Team Liquid to a game 5 and was up against EnVyUs before getting reverse swept. Team Liquid took third place - Spartan, Commonly, Penguin, Rayne. EnVyUs took runner up - Huke, Snip3down, P1stola, Mikwen. And as we all saw coming, Optic went home victorious with first prize. Optic being the previous Counter Logic Gaming team consisting of Lethul, Snakebite, Royal 2, and Frosty. There were some exciting games and plays in the event. Most Wanted, 3sUP, Solstice, and the MoneyMatches Ego Rangers AKA Team Randa (Randa, Aries, TireIron, Baby J) qualified for HCS Open Circuit Finals. Make sure to keep watching the Pro League if you're interested at twitch.tv/halo and keep up with the Open Circuit on weekends on twitch.tv/esportsarena or twitch.tv/pgl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
