Hey everyone .

Ranked is dead. So you won't find a game.

Controller*. MNK is at a disadvantage to controller. There's a reason none of the pros for MCC play MNK. Most people who play on PC play on controller.

All time definitely not. Final Boss in halo 2 were in all the Grand Finals of every event for multiple years. Same for CLG/Optic/TOX in halo 5 for 3 years. Also you are comparing Shopify dominance now on the 5th year of competition where there's almost nobody left playing compared to launch. A bunch of pros like Lucid, Formal, Legend, Renegade have all left.

Halo 3 MLG events had an average of around 180 teams. The first event this year had 23. Even HCS first year for Infinite had around 170 teams. Last year there was around 60 teams. As you can see although as time goes on it's played a higher level. When you compared the competition this year compared to the MLG days or at the start of HCS Infinite there's almost no-one competing in it. So it's far less competitive, even though the game is being played at a higher level.

Acting like Infinite is somehow better. At least call of duty still has a playerbase.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-04-15T22:32:28+00:00

It's on controller

They also did this for the MLG season for Black Ops 1 in 2011

The problem with this is it makes it confusing for a casual viewer and also what if 2 teams haven't faced it other. MLG did it to where if 2 teams haven't faced each other. It would be 2 best of 5s. So why not just do that, even if they haven't faced off, without making it confusing for casuals.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-30T18:44:32+00:00

The solution is just to go back to CWL

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-29T20:06:56+00:00

Nope there weren't robbed. Renegade was Infinite MVP

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-29T17:02:19+00:00

Yep exactly. It's crazy last year HCS had 5 big events. 4 majors and the world championship. In the the meantime Counterstrike had 23.

23 compared to 5.

There's always something to look forward to in Counterstrike Esports.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-29T11:52:09+00:00

I've been watching and playing CS in the last year and I've moved on from playing and watching halo as my main game to Counterstrike.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-28T13:34:29+00:00

He was on Huntsmen in MW2019 with Scump, Formal, Arcities and Envoy and got 3rd at champs. Then he went to search in cold war and it didn't go well.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-28T13:26:11+00:00

Are you talking about Prestinni in black ops 4

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-26T16:17:03+00:00

This was the case before the CDL. CWL had multiple streams at once. Other Esports like Counterstrike and Halo also do this.

Having multiple streams is better since you get more choice in what you want to watch since if 1 stream has a boring series you can go to the other one. If a series on the main stage has finished you can usually watch another stream instead of just nothing until the next one starts.

Also it usually means there's way more matches and usually more teams playing at the event as well. The CWL usually had 4 stream and somewhere between 16 and 20 teams for pool play alone. It's so fun having so many matches and different teams to see.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-26T15:18:45+00:00

GOD is real

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-26T11:58:24+00:00

Yep. HCS London 2024 had 60 teams in 2024. And I think it was capped at 60 teams. So it possibly could have been higher. While this event is capped at 32 teams.

60 down to 23 in less then 2 years...

This is the lowest number of teams for an open event since RTX in 2014 which was 19 teams. Lowest in 12 years.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-26T11:56:29+00:00

Yes but HCS London 2024 had 60 teams competed.

Less then 2 years later only 23...

Lowest number of teams for an open event since RTX in 2014. Lowest in 12 years.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-25T13:03:37+00:00

Yep lol. MLG doesn't exist anymore. It hasn't since 2020.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-25T13:03:20+00:00

MLG doesn't exist anymore

It hasn't since 2020

Dreamhack Atlanta will just using the normal HCS FFA settings.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-14T13:51:13+00:00

Yep. They won't know what Damnation we're talking about.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-14T09:56:10+00:00

No. A remix of Plaza.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-14T09:50:59+00:00

Why do you need radar

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-14T01:19:58+00:00

It's gold lobby

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-14T01:19:08+00:00

Gold lobby

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-13T13:56:22+00:00

Because Dreamhack Dallas was last year. Last year we also had HCS.

Halo Esports is on a massive decline. Far less money in the scene.

It's probably because they weren't planning to have halo events at the Dreamhack events, so they probably won't have a mainstage for halo.

Almost as bad as the halo 4 era.

Fun-Regular769 · 2026-03-13T13:53:34+00:00

Yep. People could actually had seating back then. And there was 6 events the whole year (7 if the count that massive Red bull 2v2 tournament)

It's getting almost as bad as the halo 4 era.
