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.
