ESL is incredibly excited to announce The Gears of War Pro League by ESL
Presented by Xbox. This league will be the premier place for the best Gears
of War teams in North America to compete at the highest level of play.
Starting in September, ESL will be running 8 preseason cups to allow players
to refine their skills, prepare for the Pro League and compete for a $500
weekly prize pool. While players are competing, ESL will be working with The
Coalition and the community to continue refining the ruleset and finalize the
map pool with the goal of creating the best competitive experience for you,
the players.

Then in October, teams from all over North America will do battle in open
qualifiers to earn one of eight spots in Season One of the Gears Of War Pro
League by ESL. Over the course of seven weeks, these teams will compete to
reach the Grand Finals in January 2016 and earn their part of the $50,000
prize pool. Please use the ESL Gears of War Forum threads to let us know what
you think about the format and games settings.
