|content=Shopify Rebellion has cemented its dominance in Halo Infinite esports, claiming the HCS Charlotte title with a commanding 4-1 win over FaZe Clan in the Grand Final. This victory marks their second consecutive Major championship, following their win at HCS Salt Lake City, and establishes them as the top contenders heading into the Halo World Championship 2025.

The North American squad looked unstoppable throughout the Charlotte Major. They breezed through Group A, dropping just one map across three matches. That performance earned them a strong seed heading into the double-elimination bracket, where they faced immediate pressure in a highly anticipated quarter-final match against OpTic Gaming. Tied 1-1 in the series, Shopify took control to win 3-1, setting the tone for the rest of their run.

From there, they swept Spacestation Gaming 3-0 in the semifinals and repeated the feat against FaZe Clan in the upper bracket final, cruising into the Grand Final with undeniable momentum.

FaZe, after surviving a nail-biting 3-2 win over OpTic in the lower bracket final, hoped to turn the tide in a rematch—but Shopify Rebellion was simply too strong. They surged to a 3-0 series lead before FaZe managed to take a single map on Aquarius Assault. Shopify closed out the series on Solitude Slayer, winning 50-45 and securing the trophy.

With the win, Shopify Rebellion takes home $100,000 and locks in the top seed for the 2025 Halo World Championship—the final stop in this competitive cycle.
