Quadrant unveiled as Halo Championship Series partner

Formula One driver Lando Norris’ esports and gaming organisation Quadrant has been revealed as a partner team of the Halo Championship Series (HCS). 

As a partner team, Quadrant will be getting in-game items, event activations and hosted tournaments. Quadrant skins and unlockables will be also available from the upcoming year, the Year 2 of the HCS season. 

By becoming a partner team, Quadrant is the tenth HCS partner team, joining the likes of FaZe Clan, Optic Gaming and Cloud9 among others.


Lando Norris, Founder & CEO of Quadrant, commented
:

It’s really exciting for us to announce that we’ve become a partnered team in Halo. The whole team has worked incredibly hard to get to this stage, and I’m really proud of the success our roster has had this season. I’ve watched almost every tournament game and scrim over the past few months and it’s been awesome to be a small part of their journey in the HCS so far.

Being able to see our own Quadrant skins and items available in-game is surreal and for our first game to be such a historic title as Halo just shows how far we have come as a company in such a short space of time.

Tahir “Tashi” Hasandjekic, Esports and Viewership Lead at 343 Industries/Microsoft, said:

The initial success of Halo Infinite esports has been unprecedented in the franchise’s history and we’re thrilled to be adding a team with the calibre of Quadrant, who have already invested heavily in the Halo community and ecosystem.

Their driven leadership has a clear vision, and we believe in the long-term potential for this partnership to elevate both Quadrant and Halo Infinite by delivering epic entertainment to fans around the globe.

Jamie MacLaurin, Chief Gaming Officer of Quadrant, added:

We are delighted to have been accepted onto the HCS partner programme. This is a huge moment for Quadrant – to be rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in esports in just our first year as a competitive esports organisation says a lot about the work we have been doing behind the scenes. We hope to bring something unique to the programme and we look forward to working closely with the Halo franchise in the months and years ahead.

To celebrate the announcement, Lando Norris wore a Master Chief-themed helmet at the recently concluded Singapore Grand Prix, while 1:2 versions of the helmets were sold across the Grand Prix weekend.
