Envy transfer Valorant roster to OpTic Gaming

Hudsen

February 10, 2022

Envy Envy Inactive Marved Jimmy Nguyen Victor Victor Wong crashies Austin Roberts FiNESSE Pujan Mehta yay Jaccob Whiteaker have transferred their Valorant roster to OpTic Gaming OpTic Gaming Inactive . This announcement marks the third team to join the organization's ranks in the past four months.

OpTic Gaming™

@OpTic

Welcome, #OpTicVALORANT

@FNS
@yayFPS
@victorwong
@Crashies
@Marved6
@chetsingh

In early November, OpTic merged with Envy to bring the two Texas-based organizations under one banner. The merger also came in the midst of Envy's Call of Duty League team—the Dallas Empire—rebranding to OpTic Texas. Later that month, the team announced its roster for the Halo Championship Series, marking the beginning of a new era for the Green Wall.

The first year of VCT competition was a successful year for the Envy roster despite the team clinching only a single first place finish in a VCT Challengers event—Stage 1 Challengers 2. However, the team consistently made deep playoff bracket runs, and their efforts eventually netted them a spot at Valorant Champions. Unfortunately, a group stage exit from the event sent the team into 2022 with unmet aspirations of being North America's best team.

This announcement comes shortly before the team's upcoming matches in Stage 1 Challengers North America. Their first match will be against Rise Rise Inactive on Sunday, February 13.

Ready to represent the Green Wall, OpTic Gaming OpTic Gaming Inactive is officially:

Pujan "FNS" Mehta
Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen
Victor "Victor" Wong
Austin "crashies" Roberts
Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker
Chet "Chet" Singh (Head coach)

OpTic and Envy merged last year. The two orgs are now one, so this is just a label change. No new deal was signed with the team.

I agree that NV's branding looks better, but I think the most important thing is that the players are backed by an org that's actually invested in the roster's success. If NV didn't believe they had the wherewithal or desire to support this roster at this point, best that they transferred them.

EDIT: forgot that NV and OpTic merged

This isn’t just Valorant based, this merger happened in other games as well. So this has nothing to do with Envy and this “specific” roster/team/game.

This is kinder poggers to see optic as a proper gaming brand again in multiple games unlike the bs immortals aquisition making it a cod only team but at this rate envy won't have any teams they lost the halo team to optic and now the valorant team eventually it'll be a optic team only lol but still cool

I think all FPS games are heading to Optic for name value and familiar face to the FPS industry, games like SSB and RL are gonna stay Envy.

Now that's how you get a top tier team. Instead of buying out the players you buy out the org.

Yeah not to be that guy but did he even say that OpTic bought out Envy? As I understand it NV has the larger investment into the new project in money and personnel but they want to keep the long-standing history and legendary name recognition that the OpTic brand brings which makes a lot of sense and considering the recent acquisitions and the state of OpTic being up in the air for so long it's definitely a great boost for esports in general for the "green wall" to make such a triumphant comeback and especially in Halo it's about time IMO.
