By Nicholas Barth ·
Taking down Team Reciprocity, TOX Gaming secured the Halo 5 2018 Finals championship at HCS Atlanta and cemented their legacy as arguably the greatest Halo team of all time.
The final official esports event for Halo 5: Guardians took place at DreamHack Atlanta this weekend with the Halo Championship Series (HCS) 2018 Finals taking place at HCS Atlanta. With the grand prize of $120,000 and the last chance to secure a championship in the latest entry in the popular first person shooter franchise up for grabs, every team that attended HCS Atlanta was looking to come out as the winners of the HCS 2018 Finals championship. However, the roster of TOX Gaming, arguably the greatest team of all time, cemented their legacy with a victory over Team Reciprocity in the 2018 HCS Finals.
TOX Gaming had to make its way to the championship match of the tournament through the losers bracket final after being knocked down by Team Reciprocity in the winners bracket final.

However, the TOX Gaming roster of Paul "Snakebite" Duarte, Mathew "Royal2" Fiorante, Bradley "Frosty" Bergstorm and Tony "Lethul" Campbell Jr. and coach Chris "Royal1" Fiorante was able to defeat Renegades in the losers bracket final of the 2018 HCS Finals Halo 5 championship match at DreamHack Atlanta.
Unfortunately for Team Reciprocity, TOX continued its momentum from its Losers Bracket final into the Halo 5 championship match and was able to take home the 2018 Finals after defeating Team Reciprocity in two straight best of seven series.
With the victory, the former OpTic Gaming and Counter Logic Gaming roster ends their run in Halo 5 by continuing their reign as the best team in the world under the name of TOX Gaming.
While the competitive community for the first person shooter franchise will likely be anxiously waiting to see what Halo: Infinite will have in store for one of the oldest esports scenes in the industry, all eyes are currently on the latest championship achievement for TOX Gaming with their HCS Finals 2018 victory at DreamHack Atlanta.
