PHNTM HALO @ DreamHack Birmingham 2026

DreamHack Birmingham 2026 marked a huge milestone for PHNTM as we officially stepped into the Halo scene for the very first time. It wasn’t just another event for us — it was the beginning of a new chapter, and one we’re incredibly proud of.

Representing PHNTM in the Halo Open were:

• Provocative (Captain)

• Harshly

• Hexed

• Frcnzied

With Puma stepping in as a last-minute coach, the squad headed into the event with a clear goal: compete, learn, and prove we belong. They did exactly that.

Finishing Top 12, the team fell just short of pool play and the championship bracket. While it may not look groundbreaking on paper, context matters — this was our first ever Halo event, going up against some of the most established and respected teams in the scene.

The result? Right where we expected to be — and a performance the boys grinded to show everyone.

A Standout Individual Performance

Alongside the team event, Harshly also competed in the Halo Infinite Free-For-All tournament, securing an impressive 3rd place finish.

A huge achievement and a testament to both individual skill and the potential within this roster.

More Than Just Competition

Beyond the matches, DreamHack Birmingham was special for another reason — it was the first time PHNTM Gaming truly came together in person.

Members from across the organisation were able to meet, connect, and share the experience together. From grinding matches to just enjoying the atmosphere, it reminded us what PHNTM is all about: community, passion, and competition.

Looking Ahead

We don’t yet know what the future holds for Halo within PHNTM Gaming. But what we do know is this:

This team made history for us.

They represented the organisation with pride, exceeded expectations, and laid the foundation for whatever comes next.

No matter where the Halo journey goes from here — this roster will always be a part of PHNTM.

And for that, we thank them.
