Back in January, we made history by putting together the largest classic Halo LAN in almost a decade. Now, we’re ready to do it again. From the snow-blanketed streets of St. Louis to the warm, sunny beaches of Atlantic City - we’re delighted to bring you the Halo Classic through the weekend of September 6th.
UPDATE: Due to volume of participants and event activations we've upgraded our venue to the Showboat Atlantic City to meet capacity demands of the Halo Classic.
Earlier this year, the superteam of TOX raised the prestigious Halo Classic 4v4 trophy above their heads after Denial’s thrilling run through the lower bracket. Almost six months later, in partnership with Halo Championship Series and Caesars Palace, we’ll furnish yet another competitive background for oldschool Halo competitors and newcomers alike to skirmish through the most distinguished tournament in modern Halo.
