2nd: Team Liquid

3rd: Evil Geniuses

4th: WinterFox

5th: Circa eSports

6th: Counter Logic Gaming

7th: Denial Esports

8th: Got My Guy

This PGL series was probably the most entertaining online tournament this season with Evil Geniuses placing a surprising third, equal to their lowest placing in all of the HCS Online Cups. We were also able to see a few up and coming teams fight their way through a pretty tough bracket. I look forward to see how these new teams perform during the rest of H2A and Halo 5.

With a phenomenal performance like this from eXcellence, I would definitely be looking more at this team in Halo 5. Congratulations to @UnLegit_eX @eLToWn_eX @Frosty_eX @CobySwift_eX and @eX_Gaming_ For having faith in this team.
