Gears of War’s esports scene has evolved quite a bit over the franchise’s history. It started as a mainly community-led endeavor with occasional tournaments by companies like Major League Gaming. Since then, Gears developer The Coalition has made strides to give the scene a professional edge beginning with more in-game competitive features in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and The Coalition’s development of the Gears Pro Circuit. However, with the scene's grown, the team behind Gears esports has been careful to make sure there’s still respect and a celebration of the scene’s grassroots origins.
IGN sat down with Rose Gunson, the executive producer for the Gears Eleague series and Gears Esports creative manager at The Coalition, and Rod Fergusson, The Coalition’s studio head, to talk about the history of Gears esports, its future, and what makes it special.
