Same! People always say Scumpii is gonna be the new Hector down the road (understandable)but it without a doubt will be hitch. Smartest person in optic behind H3cz
@@maysenkretz9835 scump definitely doesn't want all that responsibility. It will be Hitch without a doubt. Hitch has always been one of the only people Hecz can consistently depend on it seems like.
We seriously need a doc on Hitch. Even just the thought of it gives me chills. Think about it, he goes from being an OpTic "fanboy" (like all of us)... to interviewing the team unofficially... to being hired on officially... to becoming an OpTic member... to creating his own brand with his best friends in TST. Like that road is insane and we've gotten to "Ride" along the whole way, living vicariously through him with each step of the journey.
It's awesome seeing how Hitch has grown as a person and how important he has become to Optic. I remember the day he joined and I questioned what his role was going to be but I see him as a very important and loyal person to the brand and Hecz himself. Amazing to see, keep it up buddy!
I love the mindset Hitch showed when he said he was going to do everything in his power to push the brand further as a content creator. Those are the people you want as part of an Org 🙏🏽
Blows my mind ive been following this journey for 10+ years. It literally has grown up as I have. And its so good to see it back where its true home really is. Can't wait to see where it goes!
its truly surreal remembering all the stuff hutch talks about and how much of it aligns with what I would do in junior year. Optic was easily one of the greatest highlights of my child hood and will always cherish the time I spent playing with Rated, Pred, Pamaj when he was in Optic at the time. Great memories. Many congrats to the big dawg himself for managing to go through with this and acquiring optic again.
You love to see it! Hitch and Hecz have some deep convos and it’s great to watch some of it. Thanks for sharing and as an OG OpTic fan, from back before the 6050 days, what an amazing thing having OpTic back with the Big man
Well, I've wiped away tears several times during this podcast. It's certainly been a journey. I've got my Huntsmen hoodie and I've ordered the new OpTic hoodie. They represent the pitstops along the way. Now, things feel like they've settled back into what's right and it feels like home. That might seem really weird coming from a 78 year old woman but that's the way it is for this green brick. Watching all of you and sharing in your wins and losses, laughter and tears, has meant a lot to me. So good to see young people doing what they love and making it work for them. Kinda like Hitch, I was afraid to fully believe. The return of the real OpTic finds me elated. Seeing the smiles on you two while you discuss the future is all I could have asked for. #GreenWall
This is just another reason to why this podcast won the award they did. Amazing content every time and it’s so cool to see how they reacted throughout the entire process
Yet another incredible chapter in this story so glad Optic is back home. Have been following this crew for years and I’m so happy for all of you to get your soul back. Awesome podcast as always 👊👊
Uffs me and my brothers felt it when Optic got sold we went with u to Huntsmen and after I saw the announcement I was so happy got home told the bros and we were all shocked and happy we back baby the real #GreenWall
I feel like I got a peace of my childhood back. OpTic played such a huge part in my teen years. It’s like we’ve all grown together. OpTic being back in the right hands, gives me immense happiness & satisfaction.
Hecz is really the man getting optic back, never expected to see it especially this soon. Much respect to Hecz for the passion he brings to optic, hitch too.
I am usually not late on the eavesdrop and i usually listen on spotify but this one had to wait until i was in front of my computer and nobody was home to distract me. I couldn't be happier for you guys.
I’ve been watching for years now ever since 6050. Being Mexican and seeing what Hecz has done throughout the years. I’ve been looking up to him for years.
When it was official that we had Optic back I'll admit I hugged my son and cried a bit. Told him we had our family and home back. He grew up to be a Optic fan watching the content and matches with me. Here we are a week later and it feels like it was never gone. Hyped for the coming years and definitely hyped for next season. #Greenwall
Can we get hitch to do an Optic Vision titled ‘Home’ or something? And have all the optic team saying their intro with ‘Optic ....’ ?? It’d send chills down my spine
So fucking dope. I really hope one day we get the drunk podcast they did. Amazing stuff and happy for your both to have OpTic back. It's amazing to see how far Hitch has come and to know how much OpTic means to him. The stuff about Jorge was super interesting though...
I am so happy that the boys have Optic back. They’re getting everybody back.. I have two questions though.. Can we get Maniacs perspective? Like a group of all the guys from optic to get their personal thoughts on the whole swap, and getting optic back. ALSO What about Optic Midnite? 🤔. She was one of my favourites!
What’s crazy is I remember watch optic so long that when hitch joined optic it was like a life changing moment for him. He was a very small fish in the gaming scene. Now look what he’s built of his brand. Hats off to you hitch
When Davis said him and Blake watching Optic Predator I got choked up no bullshit. Predator is uploading Cold War too so that is just the icing on the cake for me.
H3CZ, keep the posts as a reminder of what was so it can keep on pushing you away from complacency and keep on pushing to make sure you never lose the brand again. I know that's what I would do
Big HecZ, u know I’m a rider & I love all the OG family like family. Just want to say that in this vid you say how you were very lucky with getting optic back & how the stars aligned perfectly...and maybe boss. But momma always said if you make your bed, u gotta sleep in it. What I mean is to you it was stars aligning, to us, it’s a man with his goals in sight, IN SIGHT, bound & determined to become the most legendary esport personality ever. We see a man , grinding the way he knows best to get what he desires. 👌🏻 ggz hector . Love ya boss.
You could see how HECZ was affected by not having the OpTic Name at the Launch Weekend but as soon as he released the first video after the announcement of getting OpTic back you could see it all over him the happiness he had from getting HIS company back that he worked so hard to build! I'm so happy for him and his wife for getting the OpTic name back! I say leave 2020 because when you look back you'll see how you've overcome everything!
This was crazy to listen to. Such a good episode. Imo you should keep the Twitter/Instagram of OpTic from 2020 up - even though it hurt from our POV, it was a crazy point in time.
No lie I've literally listened to the solo Hitch eavesdrop and the flycast eavesdrop like 5 times each. Always listened to them working in the summer last year. Hitch is honestly my favourite streamer and OpTic member. I really look up to the guy
I also have a story for my kids and their kids , I not only live the rise of Esport but the history of Optic , To me is more than a Brand/company its the family of fans, seeing optic from the scuf house til now or living thru the predator days. I love following you daily vlogs.
Did not know hecz was from chuco town as well! That’s so dope I’ve grown up here and always go to Juaritos for some food lol I go to UTEP idk if you remember, man so inspirational
I tell you what, it hurt to hate OpTic for so long and then to have a turnaround and be able to wear merch again. That was such a good feeling, but it was weird for sure. So happy to see you guys happy again!
You can really tell how tight they really are. Davis always seems the most comfortable around HECZ compared to anyone else. Reminds me of the HECZ/Nade dynamic. good vibes.
On god i just saw the episode with hitch when the immortals news broke. Crazy how only a few years later and its the opposite scenario now. Thankfully we have Hecz's optic back now
I could watch weekly podcasts with Hitch and Hecz
Also frick the whiny kids you both deserve the world
You should be in OpTic!
Optic podcasts 😍😍😍 holy fuck

YES
we all hitched a ride you could say.... sorry had to
It all started with him working UMG events as a photographer. I met him at UMG Philly when I was working with them and he was such a cool dude then.
And then he got that team picked up by optic
You've seen the my life video right?
Much love guys, Hitch is the truth. From one curly fro to another. Shout out to the man Hecz too, putting us Hispanics on the content map!
The GOAT himself. Love death of a game series.
not just for content, but business.
It’s so cool to see H3CZ taking Hitch under his wing with regards to the business side of things. This mentorship makes me so happy!
Getting here early for this banger 🔥
Love your content 🔥

Can't wait to hear that Eavesdrop podcast when it gets released from the vault
Congrats H3CZ, very much deserved and i am happy for you
Optic is so much more than a brand. You guys have been through so much, high and low. You guys are family. It’s a beautiful thing 🤘🏻
Hitch features are always a good listen
What a great way to start my day, Could listen to these fellas chat shit easily for hours and hours🤙

Favorite episode to date. Good to have you back OpTic Hitch.

Beginning of the video, I was in the TST chat when Blake said that and Blake roasted me for not being subbed and spamming in all caps
How the heck is this man still not hit a mil?
😂
Have a good day brothas. Thanks Hecz
Hitch grew so much as a person love the man

OpTic returning was one of the best birthday presents i could've asked for thank you OpTic H3CZ
67k subscribers way from the mil. Im hyped!
Let’s go !! Please can we get 1 episode of vision again .
Lowkey got emotional when the Envoy 1v1 got brought up and the thought of not getting OG back. Insane.
I expect hitch to do an annual vision episode as a part of his undying urge to fuel the OG flame. -thanks Davis
I love hitch. He is optic to me. His passion and dedication is inspirational.
The tst vibes are unmatched. Best content on the internet. No bullshit.

I have two questions though..

glad to see everything worked out
