Halo Infinite $50k Twitch Rivals format & prize pool

The Twitch Rivals Halo Infinite Showdown will feature eight teams, divided into two groups: legacy and modern. The event will also feature two stages of competition: a round robin contest, followed by a final set of cross-group matches.

The robin matches consist of five games each, featuring various Halo Infinite modes and maps, to determine the placements within each group.

Then, each squad will face off against the other group’s team that earned the same placement — in other words, the top-ranked team from the legacy group will play the top-ranked modern team, so on and so forth.

With a $50k prize pool up for grabs, there’s certainly plenty on the line. How much each team takes home will depend on their group and cross-group results — here’s how the cash will be doled after the dust settles:

• Group Placements:
  • 1st: $8,300
  • 2nd: $6,300
  • 3rd: $4,200
  • 4th: $2,200
• Cross-Group Finals:
  • Win: $1,000
  • Loss: $600
