Envy Gaming and OpTic Gaming merged in November 2021 and created the Call of Duty team OpTic Texas. Based out of Dallas, Envy was originally founded as a professional Call of Duty team in 2007. Creating teams for titles including Rocket League, Counter-Strike, Gears of War, Halo, League of Legends, and Valorant, Envy established itself as one of the largest global esports organizations. After years of success, Rufail believes that it is time to “put Envy to the side for now” and put all of the organization’s resources into OpTic. Envy Gaming retires its name and logo
OpTic TexasOpTic and Envy merged and created OpTic Texas in 2021. Rufail announced that it was his decision to “sunset” the Envy name and logo. All Envy teams besides its Overwatch team, the Dallas Fuel, will rebrand their logo and name to OpTic Gaming. Envy’s Rocket League team will adopt the OpTic name, and Super Smash Bros.

The Chief Gaming Officer stated, “we still own the brand and could still potentially do something in the future if we want to but it just made so much more sense to me to put all of our resources into OpTic because that’s where we are really going to grow our business and that’s a fact.” Rufail thanked Envy fans on Twitter for their support over the years. So, I am proud and elated for what @Envy will rest as. It is legendary and solidified in the esports history books and nothing can change that. Now, I'm going to lay these bricks every day for you and I hope you all guide me on the way. Let's get after it @OpTic. #GreenWall baby. — Mike Rufail (@hastr0) June 27, 2022 Hastro teases new OpTic Rocket League skins and potential CSGO return
