Tournament Format

A maximum of 64 teams of four can compete in the Halo Infinite Community Gauntlet, and signups are open now. At least one member of every team must be in the GAME FUEL® Community Gauntlet Discord to participate. This event is for NA teams only.

On Day 1, the 64 teams will face off until the Community Gauntlet is down to the Top 12 teams. For applicable teams, HCS points may apply, though, for those where they do not, those teams will receive random seedings.

On Day 2, those teams will split into Winners Bracket and Losers Bracket. The Losers Bracket will use a Best of 3 format, while the Winners Bracket and Grand Finals will be Best of 5.

Maps, Map Modes, and Mode Order

The Halo Infinite Community Gauntlet will use three game modes:

Ranked:CTD 3 Capture

These games will take place across seven maps, though not all game modes will take place on all seven maps:

Critical Dewpoint – Slayer
Domicile – Slayer
High Ground – Oddball
Sylvanus – Oddball

The mode order for games will go as follows:

Game 3: Objective
Game 4: Objective
Game 5: Slayer

With a $25K prize pool overall, the Top 4 teams will take home the green:

1st place: $12,000
