Vitality signs with Gears of War pro for the upcoming $1 million circuit

Vitality, a leading French organisation with teams in Call of Duty, League of Legends, Rainbow: 6 and Halo, expands into Gears esports with the apt recruitment of French contingent eXeS, runners-up at the recent European Open.

With the Gears Pro Circuit expected to require teams of 5, Xorkos joins Bagdad, Darkfrag, Physics and Anjelz, a quartet bested only by North American champions, EnVyUS, at the Gfinity Arena in July.

The move by a distinguished esports brand is likely to draw more attention to the scene, as rival organisations assess the landscape of an esport regenerated by a new game – Gears 4 – and a $1M circuit featuring events across 3 continents.
