As of July 20, the North American esports organization known as “Elevate” has announced their return to Gears of War esports.

Who is Elevate?

Elevate was founded in 2014 by a group of competitors who wanted to create a powerhouse esports organization, who operated outside of boundaries. What started as a group of friends saving money to send teams to LAN events, turned into an international business with multiple championship teams and over $2.5 million dollars in prize winnings. Elevate has shown results with Championship rosters in games such as Call of Duty, Rainbow Six, Paladins, World of Tanks, H1Z1, and more.

“Elevate’s growth is completely organic within the esports industry and has been built solely by our fanbase. We are one of the last remaining organizations of its size that operates independently. Our hashtag #RedRebellion stands true to who we are. We are rebels. We have had to fight for every single thing we have earned, and we do not conform to corporate influence. This has resulted in a strong cult-like fan base and an even better legacy.”

Elevate’s mission is to lead and innovate in player management, relationships with sponsors and partners, and to set a standard for professionalism in one of the largest growing industries in the world.

The roster will also see Pedro “Zenun” Nunez (previously on Fire and Ice) and Chris “Crushmo” Lauzon, whose last appearance in pro league was with PDHM Gaming for Gears 5.
