Getting Into Gear!
The second in a series of PC tournaments being hosted by the Gears of Battle to help reignite interest in Battleborn, specifically as a legitimate competitive game. Getting Into Gear will begin on the 20th of August at 1 PM Central (11 AM PDT, 2 PM EDT, 7 PM CET).
16 teams will be the limit for the this tournament, and each match will be be done in a “best two of out three” format. Gear will be allowed (However all legendaries will not be allowed), and the map being played on will be Coldsnap. We will use a pick/ban system using a drafting tool designed specifically for Battleborn. Characters will be Unique, if one team picks a character, the other team cannot pick that character as well.
Everyone is welcome to join, however you will need a full team to register. Fear not, however, if you do not have a team you can head down to our Discord channel and meet up with other people looking for a team, or teams looking for more members! You’ll have a couple weeks to find people and practice up, and this will definitely not be the last tournament being held by us!
Gearbox will be providing SHiFT codes for loot packs as prizes, 1st place gets a Legendary pack, 2nd place gets an Epic pack, and 3rd place gets a Rare pack. However the next tournament in the series, being held on the 27th, will have a $300 dollar prize pool!
As well as anyone who participates, win or lose, will also get a free Cyber Galilea skin! This will be exclusively available to those who participates in any of our tournaments for 30 days, there will be no other way to obtain it until those 30 days have expired. Come get your free skin!
Our discord channel will also be where you can find scrims against other teams to practice, join random 10mans if you feel like playing in a more competitive setting, or just get mad at each-other because someone else thinks your main isn’t a very good character.
Register your team on the Getting Into Gears battlefy page and make sure you’re all ready 30 minutes before the tournament starts! The tournament may take quite some time, up to 7 hours tops. Please, make sure you have plenty of time set aside to participate through the entire tournament!
Skelion will be streaming and commentating some of the matches, and will be joined by zman0728, Kaleidodemon, and Cryman (Possibly others!). If you cannot participate in the tournament, or simply do not wish to, please stop by the stream and enjoy the show!
(Due to time restraints we cannot possibly cast every match. Both of the semifinals matches and the grand finals match will be fully casted, but only one match from each previous bracket will be casted. It would simply take too long otherwise.)
Good luck everyone!
