Exclusive H3CZ interview: Reviving OpTic Gaming & the Green Wall Instagram, @hecz \/ OpTic GamingAfter a tumultuous year away from his baby, Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez has reacquired OpTic Gaming. OpTic H3CZ is finally back and, in an exclusive interview with Dexerto\u2019s Richard Lewis, he discussed the long saga to resume ownership. In June 2019, Immortals Gaming purchased Infinite Esports, parent company to OpTic Gaming, and assumed control of the infamous Green Wall brand that H3CZ so popularly built. Over a year later, H3CZ pulled off what many deemed impossible and has brought the brand back under his wing. Following this announcement, it was revealed that the Chicago Huntsmen Call of Duty League team will be rebranded to OpTic Chicago while the defunct OpTic Gaming Los Angeles would be sold to 100 Thieves. Now, OpTic is back with H3CZ and Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag\u2019s 100T are back in CoD with the LA Thieves. In an exclusive Dexerto interview with Lewis, H3CZ describes what happened, what could have been, and how, now at peace, he\u2019s pumped up about the Green Wall\u2019s inevitable return. Selling OpTic to Immortals: Regrets and lessons Singling out the elephant in the room, H3CZ described his mentality during OpTic\u2019s controversial sale to Immortals and how he wished he could have acted differently. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be as careless as I was, this time around \u2026 If I would have been more boisterous or if I would have been more aggressive or if I would have been a little bit more outspoken on Twitter or whatever, I think that would have maybe forced the hand to right the ship.\u201d While disappointed that he didn\u2019t preemptively act to fix what turned out to be an unfortunate situation, H3CZ is aware that he didn\u2019t have the wherewithal to do so at the time. Instead, the experience seems to have taught him valuable lessons that he can carry with him now that the ship\u2019s wheel has been returned to the right hands. A \u201cCDL Super Team\u201d with FaZe, 100T, and Sidemen? Back before the CDL\u2019s teams were solidified, H3CZ reveals that there was a chance for an absurd super team. With conversations between him, Nadeshot, and FaZe\u2019s leadership, he considered pitching a team composed of the best from 100 Thieves, FaZe Clan, and Sidemen. \u201cWe did talk about it \u2026 building a super team: a super, super team \u2026 What if us three owned one team and then just called it a day? We\u2019d rock the shit out of anything and everything that\u2019s out there.\u201d As we all know now, that super team never came into existence. But, on the plus side, each side bought into the league on their own timing and with their own branding. FaZe and NRG were in it for the inaugural season while 100T finally entered for 2021 and the Sidemen\u2019s Vikram \u2018Vikkstar\u2019 Singh Barn has just been announced as a co-owner of the London Royal Ravens. Fortunately, none of the above happened, and now, we can all join H3CZ in looking forward to what comes next for the Green Wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
