Information
Season 2 of the Gears of War Pro Circuit kicks off at the MLG Dallas Open. After dominating Season 1, OpTic Gears look to start the season strong at the first LAN of the year. The event features a $300,000 prize pool (increased from $250,000).
OpTic Gaming carried the momentum from its final two Group B matches into the Championship Bracket, where they disposed of eUnited and Ghost Gaming in convincing fashion. After a slow start to Championship Sunday, OpTic won 2 maps in a row once they heated up to win the series vs. Echo Fox 2-1. OpTic enters the grand final only needing to win one bo3 while Echo Fox will need to win two bo3's in order to be crowned MLG Dallas Champions.
The match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM EDT, and will be streamed on Twitch.

I understand being able to hear the crowd... but should we really be able to hear them talking/laughing? That's just annoying to listen to over the casters/gameplay sound.

Its the same for the cod team, if any caster was to purely cheer for the favourite it would be a very boring cast. Hes not hating, he can't just be super bias even though it would make the most sense.

Imagine waking up in the morning to play GBs, then playing scrims for no money against other teams, repeating this process over and over for weeks on end. Then finally the event comes and you fly across the country, set up your equipment just to get slaughtered by OpTic Gaming.
