Fans were shocked when H3cz sold OpTic Gaming \u2014 the esports brand which he turned into one of the biggest organizations in the world \u2014 in 2017. He is now the CEO at NRG, the owners of CDL team Chicago Huntsmen. But now Hector is faced with the toughest decision since he decided to sell OpTic to Infinite\u2026 Stick or twist? Per a report citing sources close to the deal, H3CZ is primed to reacquire his beloved OpTic Gaming. Speaking on the matter, Richard Lewis believes that the NRG CEO has arrived at a crossroads. \u201cIf the deal goes through, and Hector gets the CDL slot\u2026 He has to get rid of that, or he has to leave the Chicago Huntsmen and NRG.\u201d &#8220;&#8221;Does he walk away to rebuild OpTic up? I think he\u2019ll be very tempted to and I think NRG will be a little bit nervous.\u201d@RLewisReports delves into why @H3CZ may be tempted to save OpTic Gaming. \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Watch full video: https:\/\/t.co\/SG0sG4z931 pic.twitter.com\/ip0lLXutPE \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) October 5, 2020 OpTic Gaming or Chicago Huntsmen? According to Lewis, Rodriquez described OpTic as \u201cone of his kids,\u201d which isn\u2019t surprising, given that he was at the forefront of the brand\u2019s expansion; rearing it from its infancy to the esports giant it\u2019s become. \u201cHe loves it that much,\u201d Lewis added. \u201cIt\u2019s his brand. He couldn\u2019t stomach what the Immortals group were doing to it, and he felt the same way most of you fans did, when he watched it become the shell and shadow of itself.\u201d And with that in mind, Hector now faces a novel dilemma \u2014 return \u2018home\u2019 after building yet another Call of Duty giant with NRG, or stick to his guns with the Chicago Huntsmen and sell OpTic\u2019s CDL slot to avoid the obvious conflict of interest. \u201cDoes he walk away to rebuild OpTic up? I think he\u2019ll be very tempted to and I think NRG will be a little bit nervous.\u201d Of course, only time will tell whether the reports prove to hold substance and the course of action Hector will take. But for now, long-time fans of the Greenwall are certainly excited at the prospect of returning to more familiar territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic rebuild will be tempting for H3CZ \u2013 Richard Lewis Richard Lewis \/ H3CZAmid reports that Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriquez is attempting to reacquire the OpTic Gaming brand, Richard Lewis explains why the NRG CEO may choose to abandon ship and inject a new lease of life into the Greenwall.
