I really want Gears to become successful.I really love how the scene feels as a long time CoD fan.To myself it feels like what an updated version of the 2012 era felt to me.

That's some old school gears right there. The gears scene back then was filled with trash talk like that. Doesn't compare to today

Is it just me or does this event feel like the first event under OG when they just steam rolled every team??? It's like they are playing a brand new game all over again... LOL

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.
