The Midwest has served as a breeding ground for Halo’s most elite competitors over the years; home to players such as Walshy, Roy, Lunchbox, the famed Ogre twins and plenty more - that’s why we’ve decided to bring the initial Halo Classic to the city of St. Louis.
UGC and Halo have a rich history together, housing tournaments for many of the game’s greats for over a decade. With the resurgence and interest in original Halo movement and gameplay, the Halo Classic will furnish a timeless competitive experience with modern broadcasting expertise.

Qualifier Series Info:
In an effort to bolster competition at the Halo Classic, we’ve included a number of online qualifier tournaments for each player to participate in used to seed the event. Participating in the online qualifier is not necessary to compete in the Halo Classic, however, it will provide seeding points beneficial for your team at the event.
The qualifiers will run in the weeks leading up to the main event, starting on December 8th. All qualifier matches will be played on the UGC Esports platform in a 4v4 single-elimination BO3 tournament administered by our staff. The dates for our online qualifiers are as follows:
After Week 1 of our online qualifier series for The Halo Classic, qualifier tournaments on our UGC Esports platform will require a premium subscription (Qualifier Pass) to participate in Weeks 2-5. While participating in the online qualifiers will not make or break your tournament experience, it will offer points used for seeding at the main event in January. The purpose of the premium qualifiers is part of a crowdfunding effort where the revenue generated will put towards enhancing the event. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll participate in the online qualifiers.
Important info:
We’ve listened to the feedback from the community and decided to host our online qualifiers on both Fridays and Saturdays in an effort to accomodate all of our participants. While our Friday qualifiers are open to all, we are restricting Saturdays qualifiers to those who have purchased a team pass only to focus on those attending the main event in January.
If you have purchased a team pass and intend on playing in any of the closed qualifiers on Saturdays, please fill out this roster application. If you fail to submit this registration form, you will NOT be able to compete in the closed qualifiers.
