In partnership with HCS Grassroots, The Ultimate Gaming Championship has stepped up to the plate and will deliver the first LAN event supported by the program. HCS Grassroots will be supporting this event by providing the entire prize pool, promotion, content, and more.

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.

We’ll be rolling out more exciting details about the tournament as we get closer to the date, make sure to follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our newsletter to never miss a beat!
