The 2024 HCS season is coming to close this weekend in Seattle. For those interested in following along via Halo Query, I'd like to publicize a little known feature of the site: Did you know that with a bit of url manipulation you can query entire teams and find a history of all the games they've played together?
Here's links for every Worlds team that this hack works for:
You can do this for almost any* team, not just the ones at Worlds (including your own 4 stack or duo). Just plug the gamertags that make up the team into the gamertag
parameter of matches page URL, separated by commas. For example, that Optic Gaming link above looks like so:
https://haloquery.com/matches?gamertag=OpTicFormaLMatt,deadzZzone,Luciid TW,Trippy
So uh, what gives GravlLift, how could you forget about Cloud9, Dark Inside, and Pure? Well... there's a catch to this trick: the first gamertag in the list needs to have their privacy settings set such that their games are searchable, and unfortunately, at the time of writing this, all of the players on those teams... don't. You can still get to a match that they played against one of the other teams, you just can't list their own full custom game histories.
Anyways, I'm off to Seattle. If you see a pair of dudes rocking old school Instinct/Final Boss hockey jerseys, that's my brother and I. Feel free to say hello, I love talking to the people who use the site!
