The team made its new beginnings under OpTic H3CZ on the MLG scene starting in 2010 with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360.

The book became a New York Times best-seller, and film and television rights were acquired by producers John Sacchi and Matt Groesch.

[3][4] In 2017, Texas Rangers co-owner Neil Leibman and co-investor Chris Chaney were sold a majority interest in the organization.

[10][11] Shortly after, on November 11, 2020, it was announced by Immortals Gaming Club and Hector Rodriguez that the latter had fully reacquired the rights to the OpTic Gaming name, thus regaining full ownership of the organization while also relinquishing his minority ownership of Immortals' League of Legends roster in the deal;[12] that same day, it was announced that the Chicago Huntsmen, the Call of Duty League Chicago slot owned by NRG Esports, would be rebranded to OpTic Chicago, thus signifying the return of the "real OpTic" to the Call of Duty esports scene.

In the second round OpTic was to come up against Strictly Business Gaming who they had hosted in a pre-LAN event, however, they won 3–2 and played Australian team Trident T1 Dotters for a guaranteed top-three finish.

They narrowly won every map to take a 3–0 series win and knock Haag and his OpTic Gaming team out of the tournament.

[26] In season opening competition, MLG Columbus on November 28–30, OpTic achieved second place, losing out to FaZe in the Grand Final.

OpTic Gaming went 38–6 in the MLG Season 1 Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and qualified with the number one seed for the playoffs which they completed at with a $75,000 prize pool.

OpTic Gaming went into the event led by NaDeSHoT and hoped to become the first team to win a LAN tournament without dropping a map.

Following a narrow 3–2 victory over Team Kaliber in the winners bracket final, OpTic defeated Denial eSports 3–0 to win their second event in a row.

At the Call of Duty Championships on March 27–29, OpTic officially announced their long-awaited sponsorship with Red Bull, following members Matt "NaDeSHoT" Haag and Michael "FlameSword" Chavez who had been individually sponsored.

In September 2019 Ian “Crimsix” Porter decided to leave OpTic and become a free agent to any team participating in the 2020 Call of Duty League.

On November 11, 2020, it was announced by Immortals Gaming Club and Hector Rodriguez that the latter had fully reacquired the rights to the OpTic Gaming name, thus regaining full ownership of the organization while also relinquishing his minority ownership of Immortals' League of Legends roster in the deal; that same day, it was announced that the Chicago Huntsmen, the Call of Duty League Chicago slot owned by NRG Esports, would be rebranded to OpTic Chicago, thus signifying the return of the "real OpTic" to the Call of Duty esports scene.

OpTic Chicago's roster for the Call of Duty: Cold War season consisted of Seth "Scump" Abner, Matthew "Formal" Piper, Brandon "Dashy" Otell, and Dylan "Envoy" Hannon.

The same date had the team announcing the roster for the upcoming CDL season which consists of the following players; Anthony "Shottzy" Cuevas-Castro, Indervir "Illey" Dhaliwal, Seth "Scump" Abner, and Brandon "Dashy" Otell.

Placing 16th overall and dropping to Loser Bracket round two, OpTic needed a top 10 placement to continue their championship run.

In Losers Bracket 2, OpTic was sitting in third place going in to the seventh round with the posability of falling out of the top 10 with two horrible games.

After making their way through the losers bracket, Optic eventually qualifies to LAN in 8th place overall, barely evoiding elimination by two spots.

OpTic Gaming established its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) team by acquiring the North American roster of Conquest before participating in the ELEAGUE Road to Vegas.

This lineup included Damian "daps" Steele, William "RUSH" Wierzba, Keith "NAF" Markovic, Shazeeb "ShahZaM" Khan, and Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz.

At Northern Arena Montreal, they finished second in their group and advanced to the playoffs, defeating the Danish team Heroic and then triumphing over G2 in the finals.

Despite these changes and efforts from coaches Luis "peacemaker" Tadeu and hazed, the team's performance plateaued, with their only notable victory being the CyberPowerPC Extreme Gaming Series in Spring 2017.

The departure of key players RUSH and tarik to Cloud9., followed by the release of hazed, marked the end of this North American lineup, signaling the need for a new team composition.

The roster brought in ex-FaZe AWPer Aleksi "allu" Jalli, ex-North rifler Emil "Magisk" Reif and PENTA Sports young up and comer Kevin "HS" Tarn.

The team managed to win the North American Qualifier for IEM Oakland but came 5th- 6th in the main event, losing 2–0 to SK Gaming.

On February 7, 2018, OpTic announced a new Danish/North American roster that saw the return of ShahZaM and stanislaw, joined by former North duo Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke and René "cajunb" Borg.

OpTic acquired Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer and Jakob "JUGi" Hansen from Heroic and picked up ex-North coach Casper "ruggah" Due.

During a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds tournament in March 2018, OpTic Bahawaka was found guilty of exploiting a glitch in the game that allowed him to see through walls.

[46][47] OpTic India later responded on their Twitter, stating: "We stand strongly against any form of cheating as it not only tarnishes the local roster, but potentially harms competitive integrity of the region.
