Open Bracket Games Galore: UGC St. Louis Qualifier Day 1 Recap

Welcome to the first LAN of the 2017 Halo Championship Season.

$50,000 is on the line out in Collinsville, Illinois just outside of St. Louis, and former pros, semi-pros, and amateurs were all competing in the opening rounds of the open bracket.

The top eight teams from this bracket will move on to the championship bracket, and will have a chance to face off against the seven teams with pro league seeds later in the weekend. While the teams were hungry to get their shot at some Vegas seeding points, the day ended with most of the second losers round completed, and the entire winners third round set for Saturday.
