After sending in an application and waiting for a decision regarding the Halo<\/a> Championship Series partnership program, Acend have finally gotten a response. Unfortunately, it is not one the team hoped for.<\/p>\n

The European esports organization took to Twitter to reveal that their bid has been rejected. Acend are distraught with the decision, and perhaps more upset at the fact that no reasonable explanation was given for the denial.<\/p>\n

“We are sad to announce that our HCS partnership application was rejected. Despite request, we’ve not received any elaboration on the decision, other than we were deep into consideration.<\/p>\n

“This is disappointing for the organization, our players, and our fans.”<\/p>\n

Regardless of the situation, the organization is committed to supporting their players. In the statement, Acend said:<\/p>\n

“We have put all our effort in to supporting our players and the scene to compete internationally and progress Halo beyond a one region esport. Our players have shown they are world class competitors and Europe has shown we can constantly compete internationally. Sadly it seems the region will continue to receive minimal support.”<\/p>\n

“We believe in our players and their abilities and will continue to support them. Our goal remains the same: to take on the best teams in the World and put European Halo on the map.”<\/p>\n
