Footage from yesterday’s competitive showcase
This is just the beginning. Starting in October, the best teams that have refined their skills in the September preseason will be working towards a worthy end goal. With a grand final set for January 2016, the best teams in the league will fight for a slice of the $50,000 prize pool, with 1st place receiving $20,000.
The Coalition has their work cut out for them. Along with the upcoming release of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on August 25th, game balance will be the defining issue for the league. What weapons will be overpowered or underpowered? What mechanics will need to be tweaked? What maps are worthy of a competitive spotlight? We shall see if the mere weeks after launch will be enough for them to answer these questions before the league begins in September.
