No more Envy: Illustrious org officially becomes OpTic Gaming

Envy, the longtime gaming organization that was originally known as EnVyUs, is retiring its name. The organization, which merged with OpTic Gaming in late 2021, will take on the OpTic name across all of its esports teams and events, the organization announced on Monday.

In the latest episode of his Eavesdrop podcast, OpTic founder Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez and Envy founder Mike “hastr0” announced the two brands would no longer coexist in the organization. While several teams under the organization had adopted the OpTic name after the merger, including OpTic Texas of the Call of Duty League and the OpTic VALORANT team, other teams in the organization maintained the Envy branding. That will no longer be the case, with the most immediate name change coming for the organization’s Rocket League squad.
