Maltese Halo Pro Finds Success at HCS London

As we proudly announced on our Facebook, Maltese Halo professional player Luciano "Mose_Luciano" Calvanico represented Team Infused together with his teammates to claim the HCS London event along with $10,000 and an invite to the HCS Fall 2017 finals.

Showcasing the top Halo talent in Europe, a total prize pool of $25,000 was organised for the 32 teams which took part. Team Infused was looking to solidify their top spot in the scene and they did so in style.  With quite a number of sweeps, they glided through the competition and were in the finals in no time.

Starting from the quarter-finals, they quickly swept CapitalPunish offstream in a best of five.  Moving on to the semi-final, things went up a notch as the best of seven series against Supremacy looked to be a close one. This didn’t stop Team Infused from disrespecting them with a 4-0 sweep, knocking Supremacy into the loser bracket.  The grand finals were next, yet the crowd’s energy would be momentarily swept.

As many of you are aware, there was a terrorist attack in London this weekend which consisted of a bomb placement on a train. Such events proved to sabotage the HCS London drastically. Upon the occurrence, the venue was evacuated and main stage emptied, which is why some games took place off-stream.  

Nevertheless, everyone recovered for the Grand Finals, which was no different to any other match Team Infused played that weekend. Long story short, Supremacy were packing their bags quickly after a 4-1 deficit. With a total scoreline of 8-1, Team Infused were simply playing on another level thanks to exceptional performances from all the players.

Gamers.com.mt cannot express in words how proud we are of Luciano for being part of such a dominant side. We can’t wait to see how you’ll perform in the HCS Fall finals; go for it!
