Set to begin on Friday, May 23, the HCS 2025 Dallas Open will feature 16 Halo teams who will battle it out over the weekend for the lion's share of the $150,000 prize pool, HCS Points, and four direct invites to the HCS 2025 Salt Lake City Major.
Succeeding the Arlington Major, the HCS 2025 Dallas Open is expected to be dominated by the same two teams (OpTic Texas and Shopify Rebellion) that outclassed their opponents in Arlington, with the two teams priced as the leading favourites on the outright betting markets.
While the betting odds suggest that the Halo Championship Series 2025 Dallas Open will likely be contested between two teams, there are other squads in the mix who can threaten the top dogs and shake up the balance of power, promising an exciting weekend of Halo esports action no fan should miss.

Halo Championship Series 2025 Dallas Open Favourites
HCS 2025 Arlington Major finalists, OpTic Gaming and Shopify Rebellion, are billed as the leading favourites to win HCS 2025 Dallas Open, having proven to be a class above everyone else early into the season.
The Major champions, OpTic Gaming (2.00) are the main favourites to add another HCS title to their name, while Shopify Rebellion sit in close second, priced at 2.20.
The two squads are also the only squads priced at single digits for the HCS 2025 Dallas Open, suggesting that the Dallas tournament will be very top-heavy and expected to be contested between only two teams.
FaZe Clan, who finished the Arlington Major in third place, are 11.00 outsiders, ahead of Spacestation Gaming at 13.00, and Team Nemesis at 19.00.
Out of the outsiders, Team Nemesis are one of the more intriguing squads, as they were the only team of the Arlington Major – besides Shopify Rebellion – to come close to beating OpTic Texas.
Their crushing loss against FaZe Clan, however, would suggest the 2-3 loss to OpTic might've been a fluke.
Other dark horses attending HCS 2025 Dallas Open include ENVY (21.00), OMiT (26.00), and Cloud9 (29.00), who have the tools to do well in the biggest events but have yet to prove they can perform when challenged by the top dogs.
