Tournament Recap
- September 1v1 (With an AI Teammate) Random All Tournament
- This tournament is a 2v2 tournament with a twist, every game you go the random leader option and each team has a legendary AI (also using the leader random all) on their team instead of the usual second human player (Because who trusts them). THIS MEANS YOU DO NOT NEED A PARTNER AND CAN SIGN UP BY YOURSELF.

- Overall I liked HCS London. I think laudy did a good job running the desk. I think the cardboard cutout of golden boy was hilarious. The series for the most part went as expected. Lots of 3-0. A few exciting game 5’s. I was going reciprocity. So seeing them take down splyce was awesome!! Their Sunday wasn’t so good. They’re so close to being on par with tox and splyce. But they just keep misplaying objective I find. But it’s was an exciting tournament. As always wonderboy and the guys in the background did an incredible job with the observer mode part! The casting in halo is always top notch. And seeing what they did for Simms on the cast was heartwarming. It’s got me excited for dreamhack! Can’t wait to see how splyce answers to dropping a tournament. And see how tox does with defending a title once again. And how all the other teams improve over the next few months through an even harder grind!! Real question here though. I know you guys had spitballed doing like an Xbox live party chat viewing party. If you end up doing that it would be awesome!!! Have some people to talk to between the games. About all the big moments that always happen.
- Gas HCS
- Favorite series. Lucid vs Trifecta. The GF Series 2 is an obvious choice but the reaction from the Trifecta guys and EU support for their best chance at T8 was quality. Not the result I wanted but cracking game all the same. Why it was a feature stage game I’ll never know
- Moments. Honestly they didn’t get the result they wanted but bubudubu getting increasingly hype in the series of Excelerate vs Renegades. He was consistently making clutch plays and let them know about it.
- Mikwen and Penguin reminded everyone that they are top tier players. I think Mikwen went 16-6 first map against Splyce in Losers Semis. Insane performances all round.
- Frosty giving one of the best individual games I’ve ever seen in Refuge CTF v Splyce also.
- Inhuman
- Favorite Series? -Reciprocity Vs Splyce (Saturday and Sunday) : was interesting to see the major contrast in both teams between the 2 series on both days.
- Players- @SnakeBiteFPS was popping off all weekend, didn't get nearly enough attention.
- Moment- renegade taking the L
