With the conclusion of pool play during Halo Championship Series Kickoff Major in Raleigh, North Carolina comes the formation of the Championship Bracket. 

The Championship Bracket at HCS Raleigh is a merger between the seeding of pool play and the conclusion of the open bracket from Day 1 of the event. For the 16 teams from pool play, the Championship Bracket is a sigh of relief and a second chance. However, for the teams that made it out of the hundreds of teams from the open bracket, this is just the beginning of an uphill battle. 

To merge the two sides of the tournament the Championship Bracket is broken up into two rounds of winners. The first round is a mixture of the open bracket teams and teams from the latter end of pool play. While the second round of winners consists of the first and second seeds from pool play.
