OpTic Gaming was once a humble group of gamers that didn’t have major backing, no vast capital from venture capital firms, nor a well-equipped team of professionals running the show -
Instead, it used sponsorship money to pay its players and personalities, to fund its expansion into other titles, and to create compelling videos. It was simply a group of guys who enjoyed competing at video games and creating content.
Spearheaded by Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez, #OpTicGaming found itself at the forefront of gaming content on KZfaq and a major figure in #esports through Call of Duty. Over the years, it acted as an internet celebrity factory, spawning a number of #gaming superstars such as Matthew “Nadeshot” Hague, Ian "Crimsix" Porter and Seth “Scump” Abner.
Before it received major backing, the only competition that the organisation had was in FaZe Clan and that too was because of a well-crafted blend of excelling in both content and competition. However, once Neil Leibman, Co-owner of Texas Rangers invested in November 2017, things changed drastically.
Moving away from shared houses that acted as both a living quarters and hotbed of content in Chicago, H3CZ and his army of online celebrities jumped ship to Frisco, Texas to begin the next chapter in OpTic Gaming’s story.
What transpired over the next 18 months, however, may have cut the legendary brand’s legacy short and resulted in its degradation and potential demise. But how this did all happen, and so soon?
