FACEIT Ignite: Halo European Open

FACEIT IGNITE: HALO EUROPEAN OPEN

FACEIT and 343 Industries are teaming up for the first time to bring Europe it's first major Halo 3 event in nearly a decade. Introducing, FACEIT Ignite!

Located in the West of London at Lock 4 within Twickenham Stadium, FACEIT Ignite will bring back the grit and grind of LAN events that Halo has always been known for. It’s no holds barred for the 32 teams that will be in attendance! Additionally, FACEIT Ignite will also play host to a 2v2 side tournament in Halo 5 with many European players still competing in the game to this day.

The Halo 3 Team Pass grants entry for four players and one coach to attend and compete in the main 4v4 $25,000 Halo 3 tournament. Additionally, the Halo 3 Team Pass includes access to the Halo 5 2v2 tournament if your team is eliminated in the 4v4 on Day 1. The pass also includes up to FIVE complimentary Weekend Spectator tickets so players can bring their family and friends along. Note: Team Pass purchasers will receive an e-mail asking to confirm registration details including full roster details. Team rosters and logo must be submitted to [email protected] no later than August 10, 2019.

The Halo 5 Doubles Pass provides entry for two players to compete in the $5,000 Halo 5 2v2 tournament (August 18). Players competing in Halo 3 may also compete in Halo 5 if their team has been eliminated on Saturday, and requires no additional purchase. Unfortunately, there is no coaching in the Halo 5 2v2 tournament.

The LAN will be fan-friendly and Spectator Passes are available for both Saturday and Sunday. A Spectator Pass grants access to the venue where you'll be able to experience Europe's first major Halo 3 event in nearly a decade. With ample space around every station, fans will be able to support their favourite teams directly in the mix around the LAN stations or in the tournament viewing area. An on-site bar will also be open and serve food, snacks, soft drinks and alcohol. You must bring a valid ID (passport, driver's license).

A limited number of spectator tickets will be purchasable on the door throughout the weekend. Please note that these tickets are purchasable by card only, with no cash purchases available.
