Halo 4 Global Championship

I've recently read that halo is yet holding another huge tournament this summer of 2013. Heres is what they have said from halowaypoint.com about qualifying and more.

The first qualifier for the Halo 4 Global Championship will be a weekend-long FFA tournament in our booth. If you’d like to participate, we recommend registering in advance to secure your spot. To pre-register, at 9 AM CDT on Friday, July 5, go to Hall 5 (the same location as RTX attendee registration). Limited walk-up registration will be available at our booth during show floor hours as well. Oh, and if you compete in the tournament, you’ll snag yourself a limited-edition t-shirt. We’ll be live streaming the tournament finals from the eSports main stage from 2-5 PM CDT on Sunday on our official Twitch.tv channel, where I’ll be joined by Eric “GH057ayame” Hewitt and Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez for commentary and insight into the gameplay. Be sure to tune in!

There will also be an online qualification. Heres how you can qualify. 

You can compete and qualify for the finals through online play. Just hop into the Global Championship playlist and play 20 games each week to qualify and appear on the leaderboards. 

Stay tuned for additional opportunities to get an invitation to the Halo 4 Global Championship finals in the coming weeks. 

This tournament has been designed so that it provides an optimal competition experience for all competitors. The format is significantly different from the Infinity Challenge tournament, and we’ve used our past learnings to ensure that all players have the chance to qualify and win prizes, and that the best-performing players move on each week. Let’s dig into the format of the online portion. 

Each week, a new selection of maps and game types will be available in the Global Championship playlist. Unlike the Infinity Challenge, each week of the tournament is independent of any other week, with new game types, winners, prizes and a fresh, blank leaderboard. This way, players can compete in their selected weeks without needing to “grind.” Each week, play a minimum of 20 games in the tournament playlist. Your placement in these matches will determine your place on the leaderboard. Read on for how placement works. 

Using an inverted scoring system, you’ll be given points based on your placement in each game that you play in the playlist. For example, if you place first in your match, you’ll receive a score of 8 for that game. Should you place second in the next match, you’d receive a score of 7, and your average across these two games would be 7.5. 

As a lot of you who read this like to play halo 4, here is something that you could possibly get into if you have nothing to do this summer or if you want to do something sick this summer. I would join this, but i have work and quite frankly, dont have an xbox 360 to play on. I know some of you from the LAN were good and it would be cool to see some of you end up in the leaderboards in the championship itself. 

Good luck and until next time, keep pwning those Spartans!
