How To Enjoy The Gears of War Esports

There are plenty of grudges and personal drama if you follow Gears eSports. You can’t do the “game sux just here for the skins LuL” routine and then complain that you don’t know anything about the players when you don’t even watch.

This has actually been by far the best tournament in Gears 5 so far. I can definitely understand people being bored by escalation, but the event has been spot on this time. Casters, players, and production are all doing much better than I expected given the circumstances.

Challenge excepted + point proven.

The opposite of this when you’re a champ …

Good god

The folded arms and edgy visuals for the player-intros remind me of 2009.

But I guess it’s working because thousands of people watch it.

I hate you so much.

There’s a gif for that (from the UK! Bonus!)

Yeah for free Gears 5 exclusive skins.

Sure that’s part of it but many stay and become interested in the game itself

Most of the chat is talking about waiting for the skins to claim.

They are censoring the chat AND FAILING, people keep typing it is boring and to release the skins. When there are no skins the viewership drops dramatically.

I’ve been watching the chat for a few weeks. It only happens occasionally.

I guess we keep updating the thread out of some sense of loyalty to our tournament team from the Gridiron tournament (wyvern lancer)

Oh it’s that thread. I’ve never looked at it after the initial event ended but I noticed it gets a lot of activity.

This is the best Looopeeeeeee thread.

Yes, now that you’re here

Thank you. I just want the esports to be remotely watchable.

Just watch it on your TV. That way you can use the remote.

That was a terrible pun/joke, and I think you know it.
