Man i really really respect hastro for his decision, to go all optic. That decision must have been really hard and heart breaking to essentially retire his company after so many years. Envy will always be in are memories of a top org. Lets go optic
Hastro, it takes a lot to do what you did. The greenwall is your family now and we are so glad you are adding more bricks to the wall! Thank you for giving OpTic an opportunity to grow!
Facts. I really don’t think Hastro gets the love and respect he deserves for how he has operated both before Optic and with Optic. Dude is a quality leader
The end of something is never a fun sight, it’s really interesting to see the envy flag finally set, defo one of the best orgs of all time with many important moments in esports
hastr0, thank you for Envy man. I cried tears of joy in 2016 and 2020 when we won Champs, pure elation winning the May Melee, and of course the legendary CSGO team that got me into eSports in the first place. I’m proud to wear the greenwith pride, and I’m excited for this new chapter. Let’s get it stro!
I’d love to see a series called ENVY US, with lots of old envy heads (Rambo, Merk, Karma, Proofy, hastro etc) talk about envy as an org. I’d Also love to see NV continue in some form, like a podcast ( maybe a business, career podcast with Hecz & Hastro called “Envy Us”). Some way to keep the name going, but only in a special way would be cool. Limited drops, and almost like a special secret for the brand. Hidden envy logos on gear or in videos. Congrats and commiserations
Hastr0 has earned his name in OpTic in my opinion. He gave up his life’s work for the betterment of the business. Love to see it & will definitely be supporting the green wall in all avenues. Thank you all for the content over the years, it has gotten me through a lot of tough times.
Business side of Hastr0 and Content side of Hecz TOGETHER is literally insane. 5 years from now this is going to be a MULTI BILLION dollar business. Congrats
All I saw was "Announcing the Future of OpTic Gaming" and I couldn't have clicked faster! Also ROCKET LEAGUE is here!!! Yes!! Love that game!🙏💚 It's so nice seeing all the esports come back!
What Hastr0 has done with Envy is special, meaningful and legendary. I admire him so much. We're honoured to have Envy fans join the Greenwall, and now we get to cheer side by side. This is big. I'm excited to see the future now more than ever. Hastr0 and H3CZ are the Dynamic Duo, I see Batman and Superman. Long Live OpTic. 👊💚🖤
All respect to Hastro. I've been a huge Envy fan since the beginning. Envy has always been my favorite org and I appreciate all the fun times and memories.
Respect to Hastro. Respect to Hecz. Two businessmen intellectually discussing business, backed by their passion for the sport. Seeing this scene grow since my passion began back in MW2 gives me goosebumps
Hastro built one of the greatest esports orgs in history. An incredible career, and hella excited for it to continue with OpTic. Love me some green wall, but will certainly miss this rivalry
Major major MAJOR respect to Hastro. We all know how much NV means to him. So thankful you guys are working together now and creating the most unstoppable esports brand there is! #BrickByBrick
I’ve said it for several years now, that there are 2 owners who are absolutely head and shoulders above everyone else in this business. H3CZ and Stro have done incredible things over the years to help legitimize E-Sports but Stro, thank you man. I am blown away at how you helped keep Optic alive. You are a special SPECIAL person. Envy will live again one day 💙💚
It takes a really humble person to set aside something they built from the ground up like that. Props to Hastro for putting the big picture above everything else. 👏🏼 👏🏼
Love Hastro man,the Greenwall will always support Hecz and Hastro, and with them together under OpTic going forward, it will take the brand to a new level.
Envy will never be forgotten, even though I’ve always been an optic fan envy is a huge part of esports history. Hastro and Hecz fully on optic will be magic 🙌
Respect to stro, you can tell how much it all means to him. True leader leading by example. If there was any brand that could use his mindset it's optic. So excited for the future of the green wall.
Full respect to Hastr0, must not of been easy but I second that it is 100% the correct decision. OpTic is the brand and name that holds the brightest future. OpTic forever!
This will be a power house in Esports for years to come. It takes a lot for Hastr0 to put his brand aside to in order to grow. Massive respect to Str0 and HECZ. Let’s Go OpTic
Seeing the Envy team go is tough. VERY excited that OpTic is going to have the full focus of all the Envy employees and resources, but the esports scene will not be the same without the Boys in Blue.
Being a lifelong OpTic fan if you would’ve told me after IW champs that these two orgs would merge I would’ve called you insane. But now seeing the business Envy has built I couldn’t be happier to see them going forward. I can see OpTic becoming a global top esports org
God damn as an optic fan never thought i would see optic become as big as its about to become madness and i want to say thankyou to Hastro , it defintley would not be easy to do what you have done to something you have built from the ground up
Love how open you guys are and how bright the future looks. A little bit of compromise on all ends and a massive benefit for everyone. Especially the fans
We all love u stro! Lots of Envy fans I'd imagine will feel some type of way, but hopefully they'll stick with the greenwall and we all get to see some insane moments in the future together. 💙💚 #GreenWithEnvy
Nothing but love for ya Stro! Thanks for helping to save the GreenWall and all you’re hard work moving forward. I know this business is in good hands with you and Hecz in the drivers seats ✌🏽❤️🕹
Damn, respect Stro for making this decision. To have the mental fortitude to put your baby aside for a greater cause. Mad respect to the man for coming to this conclusion
Man it's gotta heart wrenching for Str0. 2 amazing brands on the shelf in 2 years and none least than his baby of 15 years. Gotta tip it. He's a better man than most I know I couldn't let mine go after that long.
Personally when I think of Envy I'll always think of that Ghosts season... probably my favorite non Optic team of all time. Merk was a great leader, Nameless had his best season ever (besides maybe BO2), Karma's breakout, Formal's breakout, Study the SND god, and the GOAT OBJ Rambo. Great memories
Honestly, this has been my favorite Easedrop Podcast in a HOT MINUTE! I believe Stro is one of the most UNDERRATED players in the game. H3CZ & Stro literally are the 2 guys who got esports where they are today. Anything that happens has come directly or indirectly off the back of these 2 Gangsters
Tough decision, but for the business to stay competitive and relevant and fortitude for the future. This is a 100% future proof decision. Wish you the best in taking the top spot in companies for Esports.
Just a very smart business decision by Hastro. It takes someone with a healthy ego to make that decision I think. I suspected this to happen when the merger happened, one of the brands were going to outgrow the other eventually, good thing it happened sooner than later.
Been supporting this brand since day 1, and im so hyped for where its gunna go next. i think this is such a great decision for brands and business, big respect to hastr0 because this cannot have been an easy decision!
Hastr0 is one of the godfathers of esports. Always respected the way EnVy and Stro went about their business, a proper organisation that knows what it means to the fans. Obviously the Green Wall will welcome him and everyone at EnVy with open arms. You guys are esports legacy and the future is bright! Welcome OpTic Hastr0
You should make a limited jacket like the huntsman drop. Limited white jacket (for champ sunday) with black and green nv stitch top left, OG top right. I have no idea for a design tho. But the normal edition would be black with white and green stitching. Just a little welcome present to the envy boys :)
Been a wild ride to watch these two esports to see one be put on the self will be hard to see but always will be #GreenWall and of course #GreenwithEnvy
Was never really a envy fan never really followed them but I respect stro so much for putting his baby to the side and putting optic foward so they can be on top one day so thanks stro
Truthfully, Hecz and Str0 are not Batman and Robin Hecz and Str0 are Superman and Batman, Hecz is the always smiling public figure always on camera making sure everything goes well in the light where Str0 is the Batman doing what needs to be done in the dark, together that's a scary ass team - KGuappo
Envy vs Optic was the match everyone wanted too see back then just the orgs playing each other was legendary! I’m glad for the merger OgNv is a Straight up power house. H3cz and hastro are the best owners anybody could ask for!
Gotta throw an NV patch on all the OpTic jerseys and then roll out some throwback jerseys in a couple of years for special events.
Really like this. The NV patch on a shoulder or something would be awesome to see
swear this the comment
Hey guys lets pump up this comment. It will be awesome to see the patch on everybody's shoulder. I think Hector and Stro would like it too.
Envy Us*
Shit! Now I need to buy an nV jersey… now that I FINALLY was able to get my OpTic jersey 😂🤦🏻♂️
Man i really really respect hastro for his decision, to go all optic. That decision must have been really hard and heart breaking to essentially retire his company after so many years. Envy will always be in are memories of a top org. Lets go optic
This man is truly going above and beyond for hector such an amazing guy wow
they probably were not profitable
@@joetenuta idk about that, its all about money at the end of the day and envy probably is not profitable and optic is.
Hastro, it takes a lot to do what you did. The greenwall is your family now and we are so glad you are adding more bricks to the wall! Thank you for giving OpTic an opportunity to grow!
Fact.
Fact. Welcome to the #Greenwall
Absolutely 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hastro is a has been a fantastic owner for Envy. Happy to see him fully behind OpTic
Facts. I really don’t think Hastro gets the love and respect he deserves for how he has operated both before Optic and with Optic. Dude is a quality leader
Facts. As they said, Hecz is the public liaison and Hastr0 is #OpticStr0
From Optic J to Hastro, we are blessed
Thank god OpTic has Hastro to handle the daily business. He grew Envy so well, with the OpTic brand he should be unstoppable
The end of something is never a fun sight, it’s really interesting to see the envy flag finally set, defo one of the best orgs of all time with many important moments in esports
Yea in esports but overall nah
@@armanjitsingh23 ???? Weirdo

Nothing but love for both you guys. Brand it however you want, well be here to cheer and root for you. LOVE THIS FAMILY. Good day all. LFG!!!!!!
Heczstro is the best duo, OpTic about to take over
I love this dynamic duo. These two men together are unstoppable. Can’t wait to see everything you guys do together.
I’ve said it for several years now, that there are 2 owners who are absolutely head and shoulders above everyone else in this business.

Hastro is my favorite person in esports. True passion. Putting his brand he built to the side for the bigger picture is such a touch decision.
hastro loved me in 06, made him laugh so much
Love Hastro man,the Greenwall will always support Hecz and Hastro, and with them together under OpTic going forward, it will take the brand to a new level.
Envy will never be forgotten, even though I’ve always been an optic fan envy is a huge part of esports history. Hastro and Hecz fully on optic will be magic 🙌

The fact that he said he had all those die hard fans in mind making this decision was mad respect! Welcome to the green wall envy fans!! #greenwall
This will be a power house in Esports for years to come. It takes a lot for Hastr0 to put his brand aside to in order to grow. Massive respect to Str0 and HECZ. Let’s Go OpTic
BRO YOU CREATED NV AND NOW ARE A PART OWNER OF OPTIC and you’re trying to better the brand and the community, ofc we accept you and love you my guy
Seeing the Envy team go is tough. VERY excited that OpTic is going to have the full focus of all the Envy employees and resources, but the esports scene will not be the same without the Boys in Blue.
You aren't wrong. But it's gonna be Nuts seeing all the roster shifts
wish you could resell skins inn halo that nv skin may be worth something if the game dosent die lol
This makes Hastro and Hecz unstoppable. They’re both here to stay in eSports for a long time.
Being a lifelong OpTic fan if you would’ve told me after IW champs that these two orgs would merge I would’ve called you insane. But now seeing the business Envy has built I couldn’t be happier to see them going forward. I can see OpTic becoming a global top esports org

The greenwall is forever growing !
Love how open you guys are and how bright the future looks. A little bit of compromise on all ends and a massive benefit for everyone. Especially the fans
It hurts me to hear Hastro even question whether or not the GreenWall would accept him. The GreenWall has always and will always love you man ❤️
What a legend Hastr0 is. Great how he embraced OpTic, and hopefully all of their goals are achieved. #GreenWall
It's time to Envy The Green Wall! 💚💙
We all love u stro! Lots of Envy fans I'd imagine will feel some type of way, but hopefully they'll stick with the greenwall and we all get to see some insane moments in the future together. 💙💚 #GreenWithEnvy
Nothing but love for ya Stro! Thanks for helping to save the GreenWall and all you’re hard work moving forward. I know this business is in good hands with you and Hecz in the drivers seats ✌🏽❤️🕹
Hecz gotta give Hastro that OG chain for sure now. Boss moves!!!
Great decision! Excited for the future
I miss your skate videos bro
Woah Albert I didn't know you were still on the grind 😯 miss playing gta with y'all back in the day
Damn, respect Stro for making this decision. To have the mental fortitude to put your baby aside for a greater cause. Mad respect to the
man for coming to this conclusion
Man it's gotta heart wrenching for Str0. 2 amazing brands on the shelf in 2 years and none least than his baby of 15 years. Gotta tip it. He's a better man than most I know I couldn't let mine go after that long.

Gonna be tough for the life long envy fans feel for them. Hope everyone knows they’re welcome to the greenwall💚
hatro is the savior of optic. not saying optic wouldnt have continued. but this seems like the best outcome. the dynamic optic duo!
OG all day and forever. I believe in Stro. H3CZ and Stro together is what we’ve always needed. Watch out NY Yankees, it’s our time baby
Wow much respect to Hastro what a great business partner. A lot of ppl would not make that decision
Honestly, this has been my favorite Easedrop Podcast in a HOT MINUTE! I believe Stro is one of the most UNDERRATED players in the game. H3CZ & Stro literally are the 2 guys who got esports where they are today.
Anything that happens has come directly or indirectly off the back of these 2 Gangsters
I strive to become a Business man like Stro & H3CZ
I am so hype for OpTic RL skins!! Just got the Envy Goal explosion and have both Envy skins, Ill be rocking the new OpTic ones as well for sure!
Hastr0 knows what’s best for the entire team. Respectable decision and looking forward to what y’all have planned!
Tough decision, but for the business to stay competitive and relevant and fortitude for the future. This is a 100% future proof decision. Wish you the best in taking the top spot in companies for Esports.
Love it! I love to see this organization become bigger and stronger!
Just a very smart business decision by Hastro. It takes someone with a healthy ego to make that decision I think. I suspected this to happen when the merger happened, one of the brands were going to outgrow the other eventually, good thing it happened sooner than later.
Love it !!!!Looking forward for the future of OpTic !!!

This was always going to happen. Huge respect to hastr0 for having the guts to make it happen.
Love having hastro and the envy fam over at the green wall #GreenWallEnVyForever
Any Envy fan has my respect and my kinsmanship 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Btw Envy played in 5 of 7 straight cod champs? That’s fuckin abusrd
W Hastro man what a guy. He does not get enough recognition.
I just want to say. Welcome all Envy fans to Optic
Nothing but respect for Hastro. True Pioneer in the esports scene.
Hastro is a massive addition to the brand optic/envy forever
Hastro is one of the strongest people ever. Letting go of your shit your legacy probably was one of the hardest things ever
respect for hastro 💚💙
You should make a limited jacket like the huntsman drop. Limited white jacket (for champ sunday) with black and green nv stitch top left, OG top right. I have no idea for a design tho. But the normal edition would be black with white and green stitching. Just a little welcome present to the envy boys :)
Stro is crazy he was OpTic stro when he decided to go into business with the greenwall!
Two legends unite #Hastro #Hecz #GreenWall
Been a wild ride to watch these two esports to see one be put on the self will be hard to see but always will be #GreenWall and of course #GreenwithEnvy
We need hastro in more content!
Super awesome! I love envy but really smart. OpTic forever

Was never really a envy fan never really followed them but I respect stro so much for putting his baby to the side and putting optic foward so they can be on top one day so thanks stro
Dynamic Duo FOR SURE! GREENWALL to the MOOOOOOONNNNN!
Ton of respect for Hastro doing this, It definitely is the smartest choice but probably the hardest for him. Much love and massive W.
Hastro goated . Thank you for saving OpTic
Love Stro and H3CZ together - OpTic baby!
Truthfully, Hecz and Str0 are not Batman and Robin
Hecz and Str0 are Superman and Batman, Hecz is the always smiling public figure always on camera making sure everything goes well in the light where Str0 is the Batman doing what needs to be done in the dark, together that's a scary ass team - KGuappo
Love to see both of you pushing and pulling like one, nothing makes me happier, sending a hug to both, my friends :)
Congrats! Cant wait to finally be one fan base!
Sad to see the amount of ppl on twitter slandering the OpTic brand etc. ppl are NPCs I swear.
OpTic Hastro is the goat
once upon a time, OpTic vs NV ever since CoD4 now we fast forward to them Merging together
Massive respect to all at optic/envy for this. Can’t have been an easy decision to make. Big love from London, uk
Optic RL... Holy Cow can't wait!
Miss NV already😔
This will go down as one of the most selfless acts of all time in Esports history
Love NV and Hastros work. Would be great to see NV designs incorporated into optic jerseys or merch.
good to see strong transformations come from agile business attitudes
God Hastr0 you are making me cry when how honest you are.. we Love you and you will always be #Optic. #GreenwithEnvy💚💚
big thanks to hastro for doing what he did to keep optic alive actual goat for that
Time to buy up all the Envy merch that you can 👏🏼😄🤣
Hastro is a the Man🤘🏽! Hecz & Hastro are going to be making some noise💯💯💯💯🛠🛠🛠🛠
hastr0 is real i fw him
I absolutely love hastro so much i will always be a fan of any of his teams
Welcome NV fans, we love you❤️
Envy vs Optic was the match everyone wanted too see back then just the orgs playing each other was legendary! I’m glad for the merger OgNv is a Straight up power house. H3cz and hastro are the best owners anybody could ask for!
massive respect for hastro
Really been enjoying the short business discussions, like on Pine Park, keep being awesome. 💚💙
