FaZe Domination in Pool A

This pool is rather straightforward considering the absolute favourites of FaZe Clan are competing. After dominating HCS London, they are the defending Halo Championship Series champions.

For each of their matches, against Complexity and Ascending Baseline, GG.Bet is offering outright match odds in favour of FaZe at -10000. In addition, FaZe is hosting the tournament and expects to have a crowd advantage.

Meanwhile, Complexity is still recovering from a double roster change in June 2024. Since placing 5-6th at HCS Arlington Major, they are still trying to leave their mark.

Pool B has OpTic clearly on top

OpTic Gaming has suffered a bittersweet season so far at HCS 2024, finishing second at the HCS Arlington Major and the HCS London Major.

Here, they are absolute esports odds favourites to make it into the Championship Bracket considering their competitors.

On the other hand, Into The Breach (ITB) and Pure are both closely matched. ITB finished 13-16th at HCS London while Pure is an open-bracket North American team.

Pool C is the Group of Death

Shopify Rebellion shocked the competition after finishing third at the HCS London Major, taking down Cloud9 and Spacestation Gaming.

Maintaining their form, they are favorites in this group of death.

Meanwhile, despite Sentinels and Cloud9 being historic top teams in Halo, their last tournament had them performing below their usual form. Considering Sentinels has remained fairly consistent all year, we favour them over Cloud9 in this particular group.

Spacestation Gaming to soar in Pool D

Many would argue that Spacestation won rostermania after the Halo World Championship last year. With their revamped roster, they claimed the HCS Arlington Major and placed fourth at the HCS London Major. Accordingly, they’re heavy favourites ahead of this weekend of competition.

Otherwise, Quadrant are a safe bet for second place with their established European roster that constantly makes it to the Championship Bracket but fails to make deep runs.
