Hello and welcome to episode 40 of HCS Pro Talk! This week, the rants are back in full form! We really don't have a lot of information for the upcoming seasons of the HCS and on top of that, more and more professional Halo players are in talks about moving on to other competitive shooters. Therefore, we start to talk about what Halo needs to do to step their game up. Thank you for listening and as always, links to everything that is talked about in the episode is below for your viewing pleasure.

Tournament Recap
- September 1v1 (With an AI Teammate) Random All Tournament
- This tournament is a 2v2 tournament with a twist, every game you go the random leader option and each team has a legendary AI (also using the leader random all) on their team instead of the usual second human player (Because who trusts them). THIS MEANS YOU DO NOT NEED A PARTNER AND CAN SIGN UP BY YOURSELF.
