The Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies in Nottingham is hosting a new international collegiate Halo esports tournament.

The Halo Clash Series will take place on January 7th, 8th and 9th 2022, with the winning team deciding which charity will receive funds raised through viewer Twitch donations. The format and number of teams are to be confirmed.

It will be the first live studio event in 2022 for the newly released Halo Infinite game, which announced its esports push and partnerships with ESL, DreamHack and Faceit last month.

The event will be supported by esports personalities including Leon Gids, Jacky, Blank, Lethal_HT and Iain Chambers.

Felix Moeller, another experienced esports industry executive who has done a lot of big events with Blast and ESL, will be flown out to assist with the tournament.

The Halo Clash Series will be produced by Jakub ‘Atroix’ Szmyt, who previously left the Staffordshire University esports degree course to work freelance and teach esports broadcast production at the Confetti Institute. He’s also looking to make a documentary series on Halo:

Additionally, Confetti will be hosting the 2022 Six Memevitational on January 15th and 16th, a global celebration of the Rainbow 6 Siege game with some top casters, pro players and content creators involved from around the world.

Both event production teams will be collaborating closely with Confetti’s esports production and live technical events students, providing them with hands-on experience, plus access and opportunity to a network of contacts within esports.  

Confetti, a part of Nottingham Trent University, recently became the first in the UK to launch an esports production degree and announced plans to build a new £5m 14,000 sq ft multi-event esports venue and content creation facility called Confetti X, opening in early 2022.

Confetti said in a press release it’s set to ‘make Nottingham an emerging UK centre for esports through its education provision and world-class esports production facilities’.

In June 2022 the facility will also host the next British Esports Student Championships finals, as it did in 2021 summer.

The Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies is home to more than 2,000 students, and is a part of Nottingham Trent University.
