THE HCS LISTEN-IN

The HCS Listen-in is a brand new podcast for esports that will be making its debut next week Wednesday, June 8.  The main focus of this show will be covering key matchups, player history, point of views, and even members from 343 industries and others such as  Strongside, Tashi, Dersky and Pro League Players and more from the esports scene.  Also during the show, you can also ask questions by tweeting at @HCS with the hashtag #HCSListenIn, and it might be answered on the show.
 

PRO LEAGUE TEAM SKINS – SERIES 1

To those who will have been asking for Pro League team skins, then you are all in luck because it has been announced that the Series 1 is officially on the way, and development on these skins began just before the conclusion of the Halo World Championship.  During the development, 343 had partnered with three teams who have been competing in seasons of the Halo World Championship Series.  Right around the time when Warzone Firefight releases later by the end of this month, the weapon skins of Counter Logic Gaming, Evil Geniuses, and OpTic Gaming will be available during that time frame.  The overall purpose of this program is to not only celebrate those teams but also support them, and allow their fans to support them directly.  The packs will include a custom Magnum skin, Assault Rifle skin, and emblem.  The rest of these skins are planned to be revealed in the near future, so please stay tune, and here’s a little sneak peek as shown below.
