The incoming NRG personality first teased that he would be making a major move in the new Call of Duty landscape ahead of 2020 franchise league in his September 15 video on YouTube. In that clip, Rodriguez stunned fans by donning an NRG sweatshirt, before the organization confirmed hours later that H3CZ would be a leading figure in their new CoD enterprise. Now, the former OpTic veteran has explained various details about his new position. \u201cMy new role at NRG as a whole is going to be the co-CEO alongside Andy Miller. If you don\u2019t know who Andy Miller is \u2026 he founded and sold a company top Apple, worked directly under Steve Jobs. So I\u2019m going to work under Steve Jobs!\u201d he joked in his video blog. \u201cHe\u2019s a really smart dude. He\u2019s one of the owners for the Sacramento Kings, and he\u2019s had a lot, a lot, a lot of business success in the past. I\u2019m looking forward to running this thing with him, and learning from him. I have an opportunity here that I didn\u2019t last time around.\u201d For mobile users, the video segment starts at 14:44. While H3CZ is becoming embedded with the new Chicago franchise, he also issued a heartfelt message to diehard Greenwall fans that had been alongside the organization since he first became involved all the way back in 2007. \u201cLet\u2019s just say it\u2019s been a very tough three weeks, but now that the announcement\u2019s done and we\u2019ve said what we needed to say, I think it\u2019s time for a new chapter,\u201d he said. \u201cAgain, as weird as the new chapter is going to be, remember it\u2019s going to be as weird for me as it will be for you. I will always that (OpTic), it\u2019s etched in my skin forever and ever.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going to wear this proudly,\u201d the NRG co-CEO said, pointing to his OpTic tattoo. \u201cDiesel has the same tattoo, all the boys from the Scuf house have the same. All this stuff means something, we were part of a supercool period of time where we built something incredible.\u201d Rodriguez wrapped up his introspective on OpTic is a promise to fans: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot to discuss. Onwards and upwards, onto the next adventure we go.\u201d As for player personnel, the Chicago franchise, much like almost all of the other CDL teams, has not officially announced any signings, despite the window to recruit players having already been open for a few weeks. In fact, the only team to have made a signing public is the London franchise, who made history on September 17 with the first ever player signing for the new league.
