This past weekend, Halo fans were treated to an exhilarating series of matches at the Arlington Major, where OpTic Gaming and Spacestation battled it out in a thrilling grand showdown. The stakes were high with $250,000 on the line and qualification to the upcoming London Major at stake. The tournament was filled with surprises, record-breaking moments, and intense matchups, keeping fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Ultimately, Spacestation emerged as the victors over the formidable OpTic Gaming. SSG proved to be OpTic’s Achilles heel in this tournament, securing two key victories against the green team in the final stages. Although OpTic made a valiant effort for a comeback, SSG’s decisive performance in crucial rounds sealed their triumph.
A Standout Major
One of the breakout stars of the Arlington Major was Team Foe, a relatively unknown organization before the event. Foe made waves with impressive wins over Cloud9 and Proton before bowing out to Shopify Rebellion. The spotlight was on WuTum, who dazzled in his debut Halo Major after transitioning from Splitgate. Using a keyboard and mouse setup in a controller-dominated scene, WuTum’s T6 finish caught everyone’s attention, earning praise from Spacestation on social media.
Looking Ahead to London
Anticipation is building for the upcoming London Major, the first of its kind in the UK since the release of Halo Infinite. Teams like Spacestation, OpTic, FaZe, and Rebellion are favored to shine, but surprises are always a possibility. Quadrant, backed by Formula One star Lando Norris, aims to bounce back after a setback at the Arlington Major.
The London Major promises to be a spectacular event, showcasing the best of the HCS teams in an electrifying showdown. Mark your calendars for May 31st when the action kicks off in London.
