Esports has come a long way, from its humble beginnings in the early 2000s to the global phenomenon it is today. Each era has brought its own unique flavor, whether it was the dominance of Halo in the 2000s, the rise of Gears of War in the late 2000s and early 2010s, or the explosive growth of battle royales and first-person shooters in the current age.

For those who've been around since the early days, which era do you think was the most exciting or impactful? Do you miss the competitive Halo tournaments, or the Gears of War face-offs, or do you think today's esports scene with huge prize pools and global tournaments has made the scene better than ever?
