Hello and welcome to episode 343 of HCS Pro Talk! This week, we sit down with Tashi, the Halo Esports and Viewership Lead at Microsoft/343 Industries for a discussion around the State of the HCS as of June 2024.

During this interview, Tashi provides insights around topics that include the roadmap, events, HCS Grassroots, the feedback loop between players and the HCS, the rulebook (including the Spartan situation among others), the business side of the HCS, the Ranked matchmaking experience, and more.

Please note that as of the time of recording, Tashi was unable to answer questions related to the future of the HCS, as those details are still in the planning phases for the company.
