The 2021-22 season of the Halo Championship Series (HCS) is underway, with Pro Series 2 coming to an end and Pro Series 3 set to kick off soon.
Halo Infinite, the latest iteration of Xbox’s flagship first-person arcade shooter franchise, has become one of the most popular titles, both casually and competitively. The balance between physics-based action and fair gunplay makes it a top choice for competitive action.
The Halo Championship Series is taking place across four regions: North America, Europe, Mexico, and Oceania, each with a Regional Pro Series and Open Series, culminating in the Championship.
Let’s look at the HCS 2021-22 North America Pro Series 3.
