Movin’ Mountains in Movember: OpTic’s Off-Season 2 Nets Over $200K
If you’re part of the GreenWall, you know OpTic isn’t just about slaying in the game; they’re also about giving back. In their annual Off-Season event at Esports Stadium Arlington on September 23-24, OpTic dropped some serious numbers, racking up a record-breaking $215,637.69 for men’s health through their partnership with Movember. Yeah, you read that right—over 200K! That’s more than tripling last year’s contributions.
Partnering Up for the Power Plays
Gotta hand it to OpTic for picking some real MVPs in the brand world. We’re talking Pringles, Jack Link’s, WingStop, Favor Delivery, and CordaRoy’s all coming through with unique in-game experiences for the fans. From Mr. P mascot fun to Sasquatch sightings, each brand brought something exclusive to the table.
All About That Fan Love
With 1,500 fans rooting live and thousands more online, the Off-Season event went off the chain. Gaming fanatics reveled in competitive bouts featuring Super Smash Bros. Melee, Smash 64, Guitar Hero 3, and—get this—Call of Duty® Black Ops II. So, it wasn’t just about watching; it was about diving deep into a well-rounded gaming universe.
The Sponsors’ Special Sauce
Let’s break it down sponsor-wise. Pringles took the lead in the Black Ops II Showmatch, and yes, they rolled in with their iconic Mr. P. mascot. Jack Link’s was the heavyweight behind the Melee tournament, even bringing their mythical Sasquatch mascot for extra hype. Meanwhile, WingStop took the chance to spotlight their new Cajun Meal Deal, and Favor Delivery was all about that grand entrance, bringing trophies right onto the stage. CordaRoy’s? They were the masterminds behind the NFL Blitz Showmatch.
Beyond Off-Season: OpTic’s Ongoing Philanthropy
Don’t think it’s a one-and-done deal for OpTic. They’ve got an ongoing bond with Children’s Health, and their latest streamathon in July amassed a neat $13,367 in just a few hours. Games like Minecraft, Mini Golf, and Jenga were on the roster, pulling a concurrent online audience of over 12,000 viewers.
Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez Gives Props
OpTic’s founder and CEO, Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez, wasn’t shy about giving props where props are due. The man behind the GreenWall took a moment to express gratitude for both fans and partners in making this charitable effort such a massive win.
There you have it, G-LYFE Nation! OpTic’s Off-Season 2 is a wrap, and it’s set a high bar in the world of charitable gaming events. GGs all around.
