Gears Pro Circuit is currently taking place in New Orleans, held alongside the HCS New Orleans Halo tournament. The next primary international Gears of War tournament is set for this September and will move to San Diego.
It is the first time that the Pro Circuit heads to the Californian city. The date of the event was announced at the conclusion of the Gears Pro Circuit New Orleans open. Its exact starting date will be September 28, and it will last until September 30.
The current prize pool awarded to the winning team is an astounding $250,000. Also, we are guessing at an equally significant prize pool in the next Gears Pro Circuit in San Diego. Of course, the event will be an international affair where teams from Europe, APAC, top North American sides and Latin America will be eligible to participate.
The roster for the Gears Pro Circuit New Orleans was astounding. Therefore, we can expect some great teams to be participating in the next one. There will be changes, of course, to the existing teams we have already grown to love.
However, the Gears Pro Circuit San Diego event will be an excellent opportunity for other teams to participate. There will also be a good chance for the teams that missed out on the current event to compete in the next one. Teams such as OpTic Mexico, eUnited and Rise Nation missed out on the top four at the New Orleans event. Maybe they will be luckier next time.
While you are waiting for Gears 5’s release, the franchise still holds various exciting events to fill in the time. You can either watch the pros compete in Gears Pro Circuit New Orleans or play the game yourself. In both cases, you will pass the time and get prepared for the fifth title of the franchise that is coming in 2019.
