Popular Apex pro and YouTube streamer, HisWattson, has surprised the gaming community with an unexpected collaboration. He has announced a Halo tournament to be held in R5 Reloaded, a modded version of Apex Legends. Known for his dedication to the Apex community, HisWattson never fails to deliver exciting events.
The announcement, made on October 13 via Twitter, provided some important details about the Halo R5 Apex Legends tournament. While specific information was not given, fans, pros, and content creators have reasons to be excited. The tournament will feature classic Halo maps and weapons recreated using the Source engine and the Apex Legends aesthetic.
In addition to the nostalgic visuals, the tournament will include a 16-team bracket with various game modes such as team deathmatch (TDM), capture the flag (CTF), and oddball. Player icons will be transformed into characters from the Halo franchise. Two weapons have already been confirmed for the tournament: the M7 SMG and SRS99 sniper rifle.
The search for team captains has begun, welcoming both pro players and content creators from any game. Participation is not limited to Apex Legends players, making the tournament even more diverse. Although there is no prize money or monetization involved, participants are allowed to stream their point of view.
HisWattson is known for organizing unique Apex tournaments, such as prop hunt and duck hunt, which not only attract more attention to the Apex scene but also provide entertainment for pros and streamers. These events offer a break from the daily grind and anticipation of the ALGS.
The unofficial Halo x Apex tournament organized by HisWattson has already garnered interest from notable names in the gaming community. Apex pros and streamers like TSM Mande, TSM Reps, The Dojo Dezignful, FURIA Xeratricky, MEAT Teq, Kine, and SoaR Draynilla have expressed their desire to participate.
The team composition is yet to be determined, but it is expected to be based on the ratio of pros to content creators. One player that stands out is retired Halo player FaZe Snip3down, who has an impressive record of five first-place wins in Halo championships. It would be hard to imagine this tournament without Snip3down’s involvement.
While an official date for the Halo R5 Apex Legends tournament has not been set, HisWattson has mentioned that it will take place sometime in November 2023. Fans and participants eagerly await further updates on this exciting collaboration.
