Wait wasn't EnVy supposed to get the Texas spot ? :thinking: Or maybe there's gonna be more than one ?

Texas is a state not a city, there can definitely be more than one

Wooow I actually thought OpTic would never touch OW

I wonder what the roster will be.

I am only familiar with their CS:GO team, but interesting tidbit from http://wiki.teamliquid.net/counterstrike/OpTic_Gaming

Throughout their history in Call of Duty, they have long held a rivalry with Team EnVyUs, this being dubbed 'eClassico'. Although the roots of this rivalry is in Call of Duty, it has now found its way into other esports including Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Halo, and Gears of War.

Now they look to be expanding that rivalry in-state with Overwatch in the OWL.

Hoping for Houston Envision

KDP and Runaway are definitely the two best teams still unsigned, my gut tells me it will be one of them

unexpected, figured optic didn't give a shit about OW

Did I somehow miss Seagull getting signed to optic gaming or is this just a meme? Seagull's channel has a command: !opticgull which links to http://i.imgur.com/hl8DynT.png Looks like just a meme but anyone know how long that's been there?

the opticgull command was during the division streams, why it was left up... i don't know.

Seagull to Texas :sad:

I HAVE A FULL STAR HOLY SHIT

You're wrong, dad. Nerd stars come to those who earn it. Like me and poi.

OpTic FNRGFE?
It wouldn't be as easy to name if they went to NRG's San Francisco spot (SFNRGFE), but it might be cool
