Ex-OpTic Gears and Halo teams join forces following Immortals buyout Gears Pro CircuitFollowing their departure from OpTic Gaming, the strongest roster in Gears of War esports has joined TOX Gaming for the upcoming ELEAGUE Summer Series Invitational. On July 9, TOX Gaming announced that they had brought on the former OpTic Gears team for the ELEAGUE Invitational that\u2019s set to be held July 13-14 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Nich \u2018Ashes\u2019 Ridgeway, the team coach, has confirmed to Dexerto that there will be no changes made to the roster that\u2019s joining TOX Gaming from the one that was released by the Green Wall. TOX GAMING GEARS OF WAR ROSTER: Gilbert \u2018Xplosive\u2019 Rojo – Billy \u2018MentaL\u2019 Putnam Jr. – Alex \u2018SuMuNs\u2019 Ascencion – Brian \u2018SoLuRs\u2019 Valenzuela – Arody \u2018Praized\u2019 Dipre – Ashes also revealed that the new org will be a temporary home for the players, as the squad will look for a more long-term and permanent organizational solution following this weekend\u2019s tournament.

The team was released in 2018 by Infinite Esports & Entertainment, OpTic\u2019s parent company at the time, after deeming that the esport was not worth the time and investment, much to the chagrin of many fans and members within the organization.
