HCS INVITATIONAL AT SXSW 2019
Today we're excited to reveal that the HCS invitational will be taking over the esports stage at the legendary
SXSW (South by Southwest) festival in Austin, Texas from March 15-17. SXSW is a yearly cultural touchstone for music, film, and interactive media in the world, and we're thrilled to bring Halo esports to the fans in attendance with over $100,000 in prizing on the line.
Tickets for fans are available
HERE.
If you are not able to make it, be sure to tune in to mixer.com/Halo and twitch.tv/Halo each day at 12PM CT.
Not only will you be treated to amazing matches and gameplay, but we've also got some exciting MCC news to reveal during the show.
As mentioned in
the blog we released a couple weeks ago, our goals are to showcase Halo and Halo esports at larger pre-existing events where tens of thousands of attendees have the opportunity to watch Halo, or hang out with us and play some Halo for themselves. We also want to entertain fans in new ways by using the broadcast to showcase different formats, modes, and players/personalities in hopes of creating a more diverse and ultimately more fun and entertaining show while keeping the thrill of competition at the forefront. We also see this as a great opportunity to unite the entire competitive Halo community in new ways. With these goals in mind, we felt an Invitational provided the best format and structure for this event.
Let's jump into the details!
