This is the full text of Tox Gaming's July 10th, 2019 press release.

Tox Gaming, has welcomed the recently released, multi-champion Gears Of War squad to play under their team banner for the Gears of War ELeague Invitational this weekend the 13th and 14th of July 2019.

The outstanding talent of Xplosive, MentaL, SuMuNs, SoLuRs, and Praized along with their coach Ashes will, just for this weekend, be honorary members of Tox Gaming and fighting toward their next Gears Of War title.  The line-up has an incredible record in professional Gears and the team at Tox are proud to have them representing the brand if only for one event.  

Both teams were released from the Optic Gaming roster, our Tox Halo team in 2018 and the Gears line up in June 2019.


Nicholas Ridgeway – Gears Coach: “When we found ourselves nearing the ELeague invitational without a team to play as, the idea came to us to reunite with our former brothers whom you may now know as Tox Gaming.  They dominate Halo in a similar fashion to how we dominate Gears and we are excited to bring back together these two console legacies under one roof, if only for one weekend! Thank you to Snakebite, everyone at Tox and to all the fans who support us!” 

Paul Duarte - CEO of Tox Gaming: “When creating Tox we always wanted to work with teams who embodied the same vision as our organization.  This couldn’t be truer than with this championship winning Gears team. They match our work ethic and winning mentality in every way, shape and form.  We are so proud to have this team representing Tox this weekend at ELeague #toxfam”
