![]() What we found was general stability in the scene and consistency across online and LAN performances, which is great. The game had just launched and wanted to push the format size as much as we could in order to mitigate the potential inconsistencies that could be possible due to online competition as well as players still acclimating to the game and meta. Bracket sizes: In Year 1, we had large and in some cases like Raleigh, very large Championship Bracket sizes.Thus we are moving away from them for Year 2 again in favor of more emphasis on LAN while keeping a consistent 4v4 rotation of tournaments around for players to compete in to earn points and qualify for the LAN events. Finally, while Pro Series and Supers were entertaining in their own right, they did not perform up to the level we had expected them to against our goals outside of the NA Super. We think that in retrospect, the pendulum away from points was swung a bit too far and we’re going to have a more balanced approach for Year 2 where you’ll see that points and thus consistency for players and teams across the season have more weight than they did in Year 1. Generally our philosophy was that points meant very little in comparison not only to LAN but also to placement at specific tournaments. Online vs LAN: Last year we had had a great deal of online competition including weekly online events, Pro Series, and Supers – and they each had their own weight in the format with regards to points and placement spots.For 2023 then, every event will be a global event that each region will have guaranteed representation at including of course the Halo World Championship. Instead we want every event to be as epic as the last, and we want to give the opportunity to players to have more events overall. What we found however was that while that was true, they impacted how many events all players could attend as a tradeoff and ultimately didn’t provide the maximum amount of excitement, competition, and entertainment that we saw with our Majors. ![]() ![]() This was the option we had selected because in theory this would give each region a more meaningful path to the bigger events. (Online - > Regionals / Supers - > Majors - > HaloWC). Events: In Year 1, each region had its own multi-step process to get to Majors.
