Swankd I agree, if they can't find stuff to do in Chicago, they're gonna face the same fate in Texas after their honeymoon phase ends. They're holding parties on weekends instead of going to the damn city smfh
At 22:25 Money B enters kitchen, grabs paper towel, checks pizza box, checks brown bag, exits kitchen. Thinks to himself, "fuck Chicago, Dallas will be different."
This move and vision for OpTic is going to skyrocket the brand and the platform, very excited as a fan to see the new landscape OpTic is about to pave!
It will allow content creators under the brand to reinvigorate their content and let esport players to have a dedicated place to practice/ play and like Hitch said he can film that for vision, so its a win in all categories for OpTic. Should be fun to watch it unfold!
matt kennedy that's what I was thinking too. Would be cool to have individual apartments and then like an office space or something where each team had a room with setups so they could boot camp before tournaments or play online matches. And like Hitch said, it'd be easier on him and more entertaining for us to be able to have more side by side play that he could film for Vision instead of how it's been in the past where he can only film one of them.
BigT mentioned in his new apartment vlog that the city Optic wanted to move to fell through and soonafter they settled for Dallas, I think their first choice was Atlanta for some reason it fell through and they really wanted to move somewhere before winter so they just went to Dallas.
So proud to have been a fan of optic for so long now to see what it has become already. And super excited to see what the future holds for the organization. Keep up the content, look forward to see whats new everyday.
The apartments idea is genius! My biggest fear as a fan was seeing the team break apart due to the guys starting families and spreading around the country. Doing this keeps them together but gives everyone the privacy to do what they need/want to. Keep it up, you guys are once again revolutionizing the Esports world.
Another team for the league I want to see (Legion and Bunni acknowledged on Twitter): - GoldGlove - Vernnotice - Actabunnifoofoo - iiJeriichoii I thought this group would love to play. It'd be cool to see it.
Moving all the guys into the house together made it interesting and enjoyable to watch Optic. When people started to leave the house like Matt, Scump, Formal, and others that have came and gone what changed the vibe in the house. Seeing the Optic team together was good especially with smooth comp. I'm very interested to see how the apartment things is going to work with content and who is actually going to Texas since people have girlfriends and family and etc. Can't wait to see! Good luck! :)
xTygazHD I think the fact that they're doing apartments will actually benefit those who have girlfriends/wives/kids. They can still meet up to shoot videos with the rest of the guys, but they also have a spot for their private life too. I mean, I love seeing Karma in the videos, but he obviously couldn't move into the SCUF house with a wife and kid, and you can't expect the guys to put their personal lives on hold because they live in a team house. I agree, I also kinda lost interest when certain ones started moving out, but hopefully this will be a way to have them all, or most of them, in the same general area, but still make it possible for them to have their own space too. I think it could potentially be the best of both worlds if it's executed well.
HiTechRedneck I agree. The family thing i meant was like Crim girl has a job in Chicago and Flam and big T has girlfriends there. Scump moved to cali with his. Formal has a girl in cali to. Im just curious to see what Optic has instore. I see so much potential but things fall through for H3cz. I want it to succeed thou.
xTygazHD yeah, kinda sucks for those who are already pretty established where they're at as far as having significant others who have their own careers. But then again, it seems to me like a part of this move is to kinda get them to take this more seriously and more like it's their job (since that's what it is) and families having to relocate for a spouse's job is a pretty common thing. It's just that their job is technically one that can be done anywhere as long as there's decent internet, so it's not really the same as your boss telling you that you can only continue to work for that company if you agree to be transferred to another location. So I can definitely see how it could be frustrating for one of their girlfriends, especially those of the guys who don't live close to the OpTic house now. Like, you don't live near them now and you're doing your job, why should you have to move? Should be interesting to see how everything plays out, hopefully it'll be a good thing for everyone involved. I'm really hoping that a lot of the pro players will decide to move, I feel like the CoD guys are the only ones I know anything about (and ironically I don't even really like CoD all that much, I just try to keep up with OpTic) and I'd love to see more content from the Gears, CS, and Halo guys. I mean when the Gears team change happened a while back, I had to go to the guys twitter to find out which one he was since we don't really see them all that much to be able to put a name to the face.
#1 rule of being a Texan, BBQ = brisket, sausage, ribs, chicken, potato salad, beans, and coleslaw. If you tweet out that you're having a BBQ and people show up and it's hamburgers and hot dogs, you're gonna have some pissed off Texans. That's called grilling. Good luck on the move, I personally think you've all lost your minds and I don't know why anyone would want to live here because I actually like having seasons other than "hot" and "not quite as hot", but I wish y'all nothing but the best.
Are there any plans to create an Envy style setup in Dallas where you have offices and living spaces separate from each other but still in the same 'compound'
As a business major, working on the back end of this kind of stuff with J and Hecz would be in my top 3 dream jobs. Just watching this podcast gets me so excited for the future.
Dallas is dope af I loved living there; I just feel like you guys might get sick of the heat now instead of the rain haha the spring and summer's down there are no joke, get ready for 80+ degree weather at midnight it's insane
The summer of BO2 and Halo reach was my fav time of gaming EVER all summer long it was constant grinding with the same godly, hilarious squadd.. what a time to be alive
wrektangles yeah it sounds weird. But I imagine that all the members (creators and gamers) will live in a skyscraper or whatever building together in different apartaments. Then they will have a huge studio with all kind of rooms for the gamers to bootcamp and olay together, a living room for podcasts, videos or whatever or maybe some stations for livestreams, editing, etc.
MwB x Cookie pamajs both ass needs to make a fucking sniper team with OpTic but he's toofuckin busy playing with all his buddies as f he was in high school. It's cool to still play with your friends but you can build a sniper team too. He's been the only OpTic sniper for the past 2 years. I remember when I was a fan of OpTic before the MLG days. The sniping brought me to OpTic.
Its on hold cus hitch is doing the podcast instead of editing vision jajajajjaa Actually vision is i think the best content they put out. This dudes need to stop being boring. even smooth comp get me bored out of my mind. i dont know why. just vision is amazing. if they didnt have vision they wouldnt have nothing and they take A MONTH to do vision. Hitch should listen to the guys in corridor digital "DONT HAVE MONTHLY DELIVERIES ON VIDEOS CUS PEOPLE FORGET, THEY GET TIRED OF WAITING" Thats happening to optic, that and the fact they have low energy on all their videos. and i dont wanna be a dick but proofy aint getting their energy level up or not much at all.
Best things about Texas. 1. Girls. Girls from Texas are just a little bit better. 2. Food. Mexican, BBQ, etc 3. Weather. Kinda bipolar but oh well. 4. Texas Country Music.
True... but they are "trying to escape the cold"... and they are moving to Texas and it's almost winter time... Granted fall is phenomenal in Texas but it will get cold!
I currently live and was born in Fort Worth (right next to Dallas) and I'm super excited that OpTic is moving to DFW, however just know that the weather is awful and you have to drive everywhere to get anywhere. I'm also hoping for more and better content from all members of OpTic once the move has happened. Look at the plummet in views.
I think it's great that you guys are moving to Texas. You will help build the Esports name that has been a long needed thing. I'm from Las Vegas Nevada and we are starting to recognize esports as a big thing. We are building an esports arena that will host local matches and hold major events. So what you guys are doing is awesome
What I'm learning is, Hitch is taking the spot in the organization that Made was suppose to fill. What Hecz likely Invisioned Nade would be apart of. I honestly would be surprised if Optic Nadeshot is going to happen after this, Nade vlog at optic compound could work.
legoman12 yeah I don't disagree. And I'm not soliciting for optic nadeshot. I was just making an observation and trying to read the tea leaves in regards to this whole Esports Utopia type of situation and then some of his comments around something unexpected or somebody unexpected moving
Just look at him 😡
" who cares"
I miss seeing Scump in the house, he was so funny in vlogs.
that is why he left. couldn't stand having cameras shoved in his face all the time
Viti V no it's cause she has a fucking girlfriend
If they live in separate apartments they'll never see each other after the first 3 months.
Not sure how being in Chicago is the blame for lack of content. The same will happen in Dallas
Swankd I agree, if they can't find stuff to do in Chicago, they're gonna face the same fate in Texas after their honeymoon phase ends. They're holding parties on weekends instead of going to the damn city smfh
There's just more things to do in Texas to get these lazy bumps out the house sometimes.
Bet y'all wish they still existed lol
We should have a complex with a main "OpTic House" where everyone comes to work, with apartments/houses around it for people to live in.
zLukeee that's what we are getting...
Shark we?
zLukeee You're saying that like Nick and Boze isn't lazy fucks. You really think them 2 would leave an apartment to go to a house to work?
Yes, because by the sound of it they'd be kicked the fuck out if they dont pull their weight.
zLukeee I hope they do get kicked because they offer nothing to OpTic as an organisation.
At 22:25 Money B enters kitchen, grabs paper towel, checks pizza box, checks brown bag, exits kitchen. Thinks to himself, "fuck Chicago, Dallas will be different."
This move and vision for OpTic is going to skyrocket the brand and the platform, very excited as a fan to see the new landscape OpTic is about to pave!
I was thinking the same thing. It's really just a great idea all around and will a hundred percent boom the brand.
It will allow content creators under the brand to reinvigorate their content and let esport players to have a dedicated place to practice/ play and like Hitch said he can film that for vision, so its a win in all categories for OpTic. Should be fun to watch it unfold!
You say this and now they are about to get sold how sad
As frustrating as the lack of content is at times, you gotta respect Hitch's mentality of holding it to such a high standard.
Who wished this was 'the vision' instead of podcast?
I love hitches idea of the team rooms where the players can talk in person. And I think there should be a podcast room
matt kennedy that's what I was thinking too. Would be cool to have individual apartments and then like an office space or something where each team had a room with setups so they could boot camp before tournaments or play online matches. And like Hitch said, it'd be easier on him and more entertaining for us to be able to have more side by side play that he could film for Vision instead of how it's been in the past where he can only film one of them.
16:59 They start talking about the Dallas Move
the optic journey from so many different view points. i can't wait to watch this unfold.
BigT mentioned in his new apartment vlog that the city Optic wanted to move to fell through and soonafter they settled for Dallas, I think their first choice was Atlanta for some reason it fell through and they really wanted to move somewhere before winter so they just went to Dallas.
So proud to have been a fan of optic for so long now to see what it has become already. And super excited to see what the future holds for the organization. Keep up the content, look forward to see whats new everyday.
hahaha, J's look to the camera at 15:17 was priceless
"More importantly is you have my card" 🇲🇽LOL that whistle and Optic J's Laugh!! 😂😂😂
Wish Hecz could have told my parents that gaming doesn't stop when sick. "Too sick to go to school than you are too sick to play games" -Parents
The apartments idea is genius! My biggest fear as a fan was seeing the team break apart due to the guys starting families and spreading around the country. Doing this keeps them together but gives everyone the privacy to do what they need/want to. Keep it up, you guys are once again revolutionizing the Esports world.
#1 Optic Topic mentioned in every vlog in 2018: The Texas Heat 🔥
this is where in the parallel timeline there was a rift, optic died and was reborn
J has the most contagious fucking laugh I love it
Nick Kuhn same
The snake that killed optic
Another team for the league I want to see (Legion and Bunni acknowledged on Twitter):
- GoldGlove
- Vernnotice
- Actabunnifoofoo
- iiJeriichoii
I thought this group would love to play. It'd be cool to see it.
Listening hector speak gets me soo fired up. He knows soo much more in terms of awareness then any other leader in esports !
I like this new direction. Good luck OG!
MLG Dallas was HUGE this year, now OG coming to Dallas? Its gonna be NIIICEE
I knew from the first 5 seconds when I saw J drinking that coffee that he would have to use the bathroom lol

I loved the chinga to madre whistle jajajajaja and the bajenle de huevos. it cracked me up
11:53 were you talking about former Optic Folsom?
You have to let Nade play, he would bring tons of viewers and get the whole league hyped up. And tbh he won't shit unless his team is great as well.
Henry B Fuck Nade.
Henry B that's not true when nade was in his esport form he was really good
Yeah, I wasnt trying to knock nade or anything I just meant that the other teams he will be playing are good enough to not always get shat on by him.
Optic J is like that kid nobody wanted to play with but your mom forced you to play with him out of pitty.
The flamesword meet up example seemed awesome!
Love seeing Optic J on The Optic Podcast
First podcast i've watched the whole thing through
#1 rule of being a Texan, BBQ = brisket, sausage, ribs, chicken, potato salad, beans, and coleslaw. If you tweet out that you're having a BBQ and people show up and it's hamburgers and hot dogs, you're gonna have some pissed off Texans. That's called grilling.
Good luck on the move, I personally think you've all lost your minds and I don't know why anyone would want to live here because I actually like having seasons other than "hot" and "not quite as hot", but I wish y'all nothing but the best.
What about Daddy's Darlings with Speedy, Nobodyepic, Jahova, and G18
The best thing from this was when Hitch said Hecz doesn't dagger with his trash talk and Blake is better. You could see the hurt in Hecz eyes.
Are there any plans to create an Envy style setup in Dallas where you have offices and living spaces separate from each other but still in the same 'compound'
As a business major, working on the back end of this kind of stuff with J and Hecz would be in my top 3 dream jobs. Just watching this podcast gets me so excited for the future.
Rip brisk competition no way there gonna want to do shit in that hot ass weather
Where are these show matches streamed or video'd at?
HItch's and Hectz's Twitch
Zachary Battles twitch
To all of the people that say there views are so low it's bc they do UA-cam right and not clickbait
Can we get a Fuck J train going in this chat???
Dallas is dope af I loved living there; I just feel like you guys might get sick of the heat now instead of the rain haha the spring and summer's down there are no joke, get ready for 80+ degree weather at midnight it's insane
Mitchell Privett haha that's how cali is
92 heat index of 108 here in FL 🔥😂
Mitchell Privett Boze in a sweatshirt
Exactly what I was thinking. They talk about it being too cold to do anything in the winter there, but it's too hot to do anything in the summer here.
Dylan we're in the middle of a cold front here (east Texas between Dallas and Houston) so it was only 90 today
I'm so happy y'all are coming here
Proud of where you boys are now looking back on this. #BrickByBrick
so the Optic house is moving to separate apartments?
J moves into a new house in Chicago and he has to move to Texas know
Now*
watching these really motivate me to work harder to someday join optic
Hitch should be the regular co-host for the Optic podcast, patch Boze!
"oh gosh there is so much heat! oh no.... oh gosh." -sincerely from a gamer from Texas
Why haven't the podcast been posted on sound cloud?
The summer of BO2 and Halo reach was my fav time of gaming EVER all summer long it was constant grinding with the same godly, hilarious squadd.. what a time to be alive
They do realize Texas is a commuting state? Ain't no one walking around downtown Dallas
Flamesword is about to be Lebron in the commercial running with all the kids lmao
Loved the podcast. Excited to see you all continue to focus on improving everyday.
All these kids trying to tell Hector how to run OpTic 😂😂
Who would have fucking thought. After everything Hecz did for J he snakes him. If only Hecz knew what he knew now during this podcast
I'm really looking forward to the content whenever optic moves to Dallas
nadeshot does play with Nickmercs 4v4
Logical Hater not for big tourneys, it's just for wagers and for mess around
yea, 4v4, snd
He only plays sometimes. The mfam 4's team doesn't include nade
So will MFAM be joining the "minor league" with a different 4th? or are they not in it?
Nade shot only plays with them sometimes, they play with a guy called attract a lot and other random 4ths
finally they talk about accountability
31:25 Wait, I don't understand. Team house apartments?
wrektangles yeah it sounds weird. But I imagine that all the members (creators and gamers) will live in a skyscraper or whatever building together in different apartaments. Then they will have a huge studio with all kind of rooms for the gamers to bootcamp and olay together, a living room for podcasts, videos or whatever or maybe some stations for livestreams, editing, etc.
Thought that was scump in the thumbnail for a second lol
Can't wait for vision to become "litty mctitty"
Shade thrown at maniac here
They still aren't utilising pamaj as much as they could
MwB x Cookie pamajs both ass needs to make a fucking sniper team with OpTic but he's toofuckin busy playing with all his buddies as f he was in high school. It's cool to still play with your friends but you can build a sniper team too. He's been the only OpTic sniper for the past 2 years. I remember when I was a fan of OpTic before the MLG days. The sniping brought me to OpTic.
Where is vision???
Mac__Anthony I’m wondering the same damn thing
Mac__Anthony Shut the Fuck Up!!!!!!
Brandon Harris fuck you bitch
No one will let hitch interview them
Its on hold cus hitch is doing the podcast instead of editing vision jajajajjaa
Actually vision is i think the best content they put out. This dudes need to stop being boring. even smooth comp get me bored out of my mind. i dont know why. just vision is amazing. if they didnt have vision they wouldnt have nothing and they take A MONTH to do vision. Hitch should listen to the guys in corridor digital "DONT HAVE MONTHLY DELIVERIES ON VIDEOS CUS PEOPLE FORGET, THEY GET TIRED OF WAITING" Thats happening to optic, that and the fact they have low energy on all their videos. and i dont wanna be a dick but proofy aint getting their energy level up or not much at all.
Regarding proximity of Dallas: you're less than a day's travel from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston - all big cities to explore.
J's laugh is the best
So r u guys moving in uptown Dallas? So really close to downtown?
42:30 So Nick and possibly Boze are 50/50 chance of getting kicked? sounds good to me
Josh them boyz are no good
I'm not sure if I'm way off but lately I'm getting the vibe that Jay was always the brains behind OpTic 🤷♀️
OhSpeno he is the original founder but gave it to hecz because he had a girlfriend and now is coo
COO
Donde vas?
- A Dallas!
"Haha"
Hecz low key mad at himself for slipping up and saying they all going into separate apartments and not one team house.
Aren't the MFAM in 100T?
Hecz, look into Hot Ones, hosted by Shawn Evans and First we Feast, you need to be on that show one time! reach out!
Won't miss the podcast setup
And is the pro teaming moving to Texas as well ?
Xx- AthleticGamer -xX hell no
They will probably have a gaming complex for all the pro teams to bootcamp on their own area's.
Evil Pimp did you not listen to the podcast? they said pro teams would be moving to Texas
??? you can't expect players like Tarik, for example, to move just because the org moved out of the scuf house...
Regan Lee there's more pro teams in optic than csgo
The Minor League is about to be really Dope
Best things about Texas.
1. Girls. Girls from Texas are just a little bit better.
2. Food. Mexican, BBQ, etc
3. Weather. Kinda bipolar but oh well.
4. Texas Country Music.
PS i've never been to Chicago but it gets fucking cold in Texas too dude and it's almost winter??
John Logan Foster but not as cold as it gets in say Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota
John Logan Foster country music lol
I guess I was just born into it! Fuck mainstream country though.
True... but they are "trying to escape the cold"... and they are moving to Texas and it's almost winter time... Granted fall is phenomenal in Texas but it will get cold!
I currently live and was born in Fort Worth (right next to Dallas) and I'm super excited that OpTic is moving to DFW, however just know that the weather is awful and you have to drive everywhere to get anywhere. I'm also hoping for more and better content from all members of OpTic once the move has happened. Look at the plummet in views.
Hitch, "Was that when we 4-0 you guys or 4-1?"
I hope the different living spaces actually works out :)!
The word hecs was looking for was classification.
Mixwell is leaving optic. hes still in spain and i doubt hell get an apartment in texas. rip godwell
this is a sad time for OpTic... rip godwell
"Equities in Dallas!"
get optic predator on this please he's a legend
lmao Dallas is hot af, good luck guys
You guys going to love Texas, So many things to do in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin
Hecz what happened to the cooking show ?
Francisco Hernandez he's Been traveling
Shark Oh True True
Welcome to Texas Optic!!! Hello from Amarillo!
mason Edmondson hello from the Piney Woods of East Texas
hello from Houston
Is there a release date for the next vision?
I think it's great that you guys are moving to Texas. You will help build the Esports name that has been a long needed thing. I'm from Las Vegas Nevada and we are starting to recognize esports as a big thing. We are building an esports arena that will host local matches and hold major events. So what you guys are doing is awesome
Knowing what we know now......
What I'm learning is, Hitch is taking the spot in the organization that Made was suppose to fill. What Hecz likely Invisioned Nade would be apart of. I honestly would be surprised if Optic Nadeshot is going to happen after this, Nade vlog at optic compound could work.
JDotx nade isn't coming back. Especially with all the work he is putting in with 100 Thieves.
legoman12 yeah I don't disagree. And I'm not soliciting for optic nadeshot. I was just making an observation and trying to read the tea leaves in regards to this whole Esports Utopia type of situation and then some of his comments around something unexpected or somebody unexpected moving
Brooo I live in Chicago, and yet I still haven't seen yall in person. This is fked up.
This is too amazing, wow i am really excited for this and everything.
They need a podcast with the chiraq grim reaper 😂
You all have me cracking up right now. Lol
Will ya'll be there beginning of October. Texas OU weekend is lit af
