The news comes despite a history of success in the title.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, C9 came in first place in the HCS Kickoff Major, defeating eUnited 4-1 in the final. They also won the 2022 HCS Series North American Regionals. More recently, the team finished second at the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/halo-world-championship\/\" title=\"Halo Worlds betting\">Halo World Championship<\/a>, losing to OpTic Gaming in a close final that ended 4-5.<\/p>\n<p>Many have speculated that the dissolution of the C9 roster marks the end of Halo esports, given that the team was one of the cores of the title&#8217;s competitive scene. However, Quadrant and Complexity are on their way to the 2023 Halo League, as the teams only just gained partnership in Halo Infinite\u2019s HCS offering. <\/p>\n<p>The HCS Kickoff Major has been scheduled to commence in February of next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North American esports outfit Cloud9 revealed on Sunday that they are disbanding their current Halo roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":26318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[172,4,73],"class_list":["post-26317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cloud9","tag-featured","tag-halo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26317"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26319,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26317\/revisions\/26319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
