Gears Community Series: Velocity Las Vegas
After years of hosting online tournaments for the Gears of War community, Christopher "Deluxe" Haas, Natural Law Esports and SkillGap.GG are proud to bring you our first ever Gears of War LAN event!
The Gears Community Series goes LIVE in Las Vegas, Nevada with the Gears Community Series: Las Vegas!
A 3-Day event starting on Friday January, 9th and culminating with Championship Sunday on January 11th. This event will feature a 2v2 on Friday and a 4v4 on Saturday and Sunday. The event will be hosted at Velocity Esports Las Vegas.
Team passes are on sale for $240 per team.
Upon purchase of a Team Pass, you will be required to provide your SkillGap.GG username. If you do not have a SkillGap.GG username, please create one before purchasing a Team Pass.
At a date to be determined, the Team Pass holder will be given access to a SkillGap.GG page where they will be able to create their team for the 4v4 Gears of War Execution LAN event. This roster will be used for online seeding tournaments to determine seeding into the double elimination bracket at the LAN. If changes are made after the completion of the seeding, the team will lose their seeding points for the LAN.
The 2v2 tournament on Friday will have a separate sign-up form at a later date but one person MUST be part of a 4v4 team in order to compete. No stand alone 2v2 sign-ups will be taken in advance or at the venue due to capacity limits.
FRIDAY (01/09/26)
- Scrims and 2v2 Tournament
SATURDAY (01/10/26)
- 4v4 Execution Tournament
CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY (01/11/26)
- 4v4 Execution Tournament Finals
Full time schedule will be released at a later date.
In partnership with Element Las Vegas Airport , we have secured a block of rooms for the Gears Community Series. These rooms are offered at a discounted rate and all feature two beds. This hotel is steps away from the tournament venue and only a 10 minute Uber to the Las Vegas Strip.

The Prize Pool for the 4v4 Execution Tournament will be a combination of team pass sales, crowd funding, merchandise sales and sponsors.
We are targeting a minimum prize pool of $10,000.
This is a community run event, run by the community, for the community. There was a time not too long ago when we had to come together to keep the competitive Gears of War scene alive. We face a similar task with the current state of competitive Gears of War.
This LAN will be what we make of it. With your support we can make this thing a HUGE deal for the Gears of War competitive scene.
To all the players, spectators and fans of competitive Gears of War, I ask for your help.
