After watching the active reload podcast, I decided to do something special this week. The Gears of War community is in the position where if they don't step up and change right now, they're going to slowly diminish. In this video I talk about Beyond Gaming, GoWNation, FYC, and Gamebattles tournaments. Also, touch on why youtube, twitch.tv promotion and participation is so important. Finally, I explain why posting on the Epic Forums and creating a community montage would stimulate growth. Playing the game is no longer enough anymore. If you don't create content, support the players in the community who create it. If you can't participate in Community ran tournaments, make sure all of your precious followers and subscribers are watching it live. The Gears community needs growth, they need rivalries, montages, quality content, and most importantly, participation from the top teams. Enjoy the video.
