The next Gears of War sequel for Xbox, Gears 5, will launch on the upcoming EBS. Changing the date to match Esports Business Summit would, it seems, mean the Xbox is speeding things up a bit and that's not all. A demo match will take place to support Gamers Outreach and it will all take place in the famous Hyper Esports Arena in Las Vegas.
In fact, this game would kick off the Esports Business Summit, which will be held on September 10, in less than a month. Two of the best teams in the world among Gears, Reciprocity and Ghost Gaming, will compete against each other and the winner will be determined by the best of the three. The match supports the Gamers Outreach Go custom kart, which will donate all proceeds to a hospital to choose from.
Ghost Gaming originates from a Latin American Gears Esports fan base and includes Puerto Rican and Mexican players. They took 2nd place at the recent event hosted by Gears 5 ELEAGUE Invitational in July 2019.
Reciprocity is made up of professional North American Gears of War players, who are at the top of the sports scene. They took third place at the mentioned Gears 5 ELEAGUE Invitational after losing to Ghost Gaming in July 2019. It will be a chance for a rematch, in which the teams can test themselves again and the visitors can have fun.
This Gamers Outreach competition in Las Vegas will see the unveiling of Gears 5. Xbox is a strong supporter of the cause, and as part of this effort, it plans to bring its games to hospitals in the United States and beyond. . The developers of Gears 5, The Coalition, are also a partner of the humanitarian cause and the idea of this HyperX Esports Arena event in Las Vegas was therefore born. Mr. David Draser, Head of Development for Gamers Outreach, said:
“We have worked with their team in the past and are delighted to reconnect to support children in hospitals. Thanks to a generous donation, the Coalition funds a GO Kart that will go to the hospital of choice for the winning team. This is a great opportunity to once again show what the gaming community can do!
Mr. Chris Pursell, President of EBS at EBS, also added:
“Supporting Gamers Outreach continues to be a priority for EBS and we are honored to work with these teams and Xbox to support their cause. Gears 5 'looks great and will be a great way to kick off this year's show! "
