Hector Rodriguez reacquires OpTic Gaming, expected to rebrand CDL franchise

NRG Co-owner and CEO Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez has reacquired OpTic Gaming from Immortals Gaming Club (IGC), having originally sold his majority share of the organisation in 2017.

Announcement of the acquisition comes following the sale of IGC’s Call of Duty League (CDL) franchise slot, OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, to 100 Thieves.

The 100 Thieves purchase and subsequent rebranding of the Los Angeles based CDL squad to LA Thieves opened the door for the OpTic Gaming brand to be repurposed. Despite selling his majority stake in OpTic in 2017, Rodriguez retained a minority interest in the entities alongside his NRG venture.
