The top 8 Halo players in the world will battle it out during a live two-hour broadcast on Sunday, September 1st beginning at 7pm ET / 4pm PT for a chance to win a $200,000 first place prize. The tournament will be hosted by Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson, Blair Herter and Jessica Chobot.
On top of competitive gameplay, the tournament will also feature play-by-play commentary and analysis by Andy “Bravo” Dudynsky and Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez, as well as post-match interviews and highlights. In between rounds, the broadcast will feature several Xbox One exclusives, Rooster Teeth shorts, musical acts and more.
Join the conversation on Twitter by tweeting the official tournament hashtag (#Halo4GC), vote for which trailers you want to see via the Xbox LIVE interactive experience, and enter the Twitter sweepstakes (follow @HaloWaypoint).
The stage is set for the finals, but it’s dark…..
Who will be the Elite Eight to sit in these chairs for the finals???
Who will be the FINAL TWO to be showcased up on these screens?
It’s a mystery right now. However, we’ll have a much better idea come later today.
Stay tuned to HaloWaypoint’s twitch stream later today for a look at today’s competitors.

Tune into the Halo 4 Global Championship live stream on Saturday, August 31st to watch these players face off against our RTX, Gamescom and online qualifiers.
So who do you think is going to win it all? Someone from the list above? One of the Online Qualifiers? RTX or GamesCom Qualifiers?
I’m sticking with Snipedown. He’s looked strong in twitch stream practices.
The live stream is up and running: http://www.twitch.tv/343Industries.
Bravo and Gho57ayame, chillin’.
Last night, Rukari Austin, formerly of Microsoft, then 343, now again with Microsoft (different office) threw a HUGE Bar-B-Que, having 74 Halo fans over at his place. Below is the signature board from the event!
As far as Halo 4 Global Tournament news goes, nuketaco42 from GrifballHub and my friend POD Dust Storm from Podtacular have made it through to the next round in the Invitational brackets.
As I get more info on who’s made it through to the next rounds, I’ll post it.
