Format and prize pool
The competition is a double elimination bracket. That means we'll see two matches in the Upper Bracket to start. The losing teams will go down face each other while the winners will determine the first grand finalist.
After that, we'll see the Lower Bracket final and then the Grand Final. Each series is a best-of-five, except for the Grand Final, which is a best-of-seven. There will be no bracket reset at this event. Maps and modes are based on the official HCS rules for Kaysan's Showdown VI.
There is also a showmatch taking place during the event. It is the first time Halo Infinite pros will play the new S&D Extraction mode. This tactical shooter-based objective mode sees your buy menu, one-life rounds, and attack and defense, so be sure to catch that for our first glimpse.
Everyone is battling it out for their share of $50,000. Third and fourth place will unfortunately get nothing. The majority of the prize pool is allocated to the winners. They'll receive a $40,000 payout while second place earns the remaining $10,000.
