When Dax and I began searching for the best 1v1 maps in preparation for this tournament we were scouring all of the forums and youtube channels we could find to get our hands on. There were few to be found, though we fortunately happened upon a couple of beautifully made designs. Among those was an old submission for a Halo Reach contest at Forge Hub, re-imagined in Halo 4.
Sovereign, forged by PA1NTS, is a small asymmetrical arena complete with terrifying corners and deadly weapons. The map has been designed to let a player hold out in one spot if they so choose, but their opponent always had more than one way to counter. Sovereign never has a dull moment, and this is why we have chosen to have it start off the competition.

If you still haven't signed yourself up for the tournament, you can do so here with our quick and easy sign-up form. Once you're signed up, you can use the time before Round One to practice with a friend on Sovereign. As mentioned before , we'll be announcing the rest of the maps with The Halo Network in the coming weeks and updating the brackets as each round passes. We would like to wish you all the best of luck in this tournament, and I hope you enjoy Sovereign.

Before I go, I would just like to thank everyone involved in this project. Its been a long road of testing maps and engaging in discussions with great people like Doju and those who forged the tournament maps.
